FAQs
What are the most common signs my garbage disposal needs a professional blade reset or repair?
If you hear a loud humming without grinding, the unit trips the reset button repeatedly, water backs up into the sink, or you notice persistent foul odors even after cleaning, the internal blades may be jammed or the motor overloaded. These are clear indicators that you should call Quick Blade Resets Plumbing for a diagnostic and repair before bigger damage occurs.
How does Quick Blade Resets Plumbing perform a garbage disposal blade reset in Decatur?
Our licensed technician first disconnects power, inspects the chamber with a borescope to locate obstructions, then manually rotate-free the flywheel using a disposal wrench. After clearing debris, we press the internal reset switch, restore power, test for leaks, and run food waste to ensure smooth grinding. The entire process is OSHA-compliant, mess-free, and typically completed in one visit.
Can I try resetting my garbage disposal myself before calling?
You can press the red reset button located on the bottom of most disposals after cutting power at the breaker. If it immediately trips again, hums, or the button will not stay engaged, stop troubleshooting and call us. Forcing the flywheel without proper tools can strip the impellers or damage the motor, turning a simple reset into a full replacement.
How long does a typical garbage disposal repair take and can you do same-day service in Decatur?
A straightforward blade reset or jam removal takes 30–45 minutes. More complex jobs involving seal or motor replacement run 60–90 minutes. We offer same-day appointments Monday through Saturday for calls booked before 2 p.m., and 24/7 emergency service for severe sink backups or flooding.
Are replacement parts and labor covered in your quoted price?
Yes. Our upfront, flat-rate quote includes travel, labor, small parts (gaskets, splash guards, reset switches), and disposal of removed debris. If we discover major components such as the motor armature need replacing, we present options and pricing before any additional work begins, so you’re never surprised by hidden fees.
What maintenance tips can help me avoid future garbage disposal jams?
Run cold water for 20 seconds before and after use, feed small scraps gradually, and avoid fibrous foods like celery, grease, eggshell membranes, and coffee grounds. Monthly, grind a tray of ice cubes with a cup of rock salt to clean the blades, then flush with baking soda and vinegar. These habits, combined with annual inspections from Quick Blade Resets Plumbing, can extend your disposal’s life well beyond the average 10-year mark.
