FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Frequent clogs, persistent odors, loud grinding or rattling noises, repeated tripped breakers, water leaks under the sink, and a unit that hums but will not spin are the leading indicators. If any of these symptoms persist after a quick reset or a manual jam-clear, it’s safest to call our licensed technicians in Decherd before the problem damages your plumbing or electrical system.
Do you service every brand and model of garbage disposal in Decherd?
Yes. Our plumbers are factory-trained to diagnose and repair all major brands—including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, and Whirlpool—as well as lesser-known or discontinued models. We maintain an on-truck inventory of common parts so most repairs can be completed in a single visit anywhere in the Decherd area.
How quickly can a licensed technician get to my home for a garbage disposal emergency?
For urgent issues such as a unit that has stopped working, is leaking severely, or is causing an electrical short, we provide same-day and after-hours service within Decherd and neighboring communities. In most cases, a technician can be at your door within 2–4 hours of your call, fully equipped to diagnose and repair on the spot.
What should I do if my disposal is humming but not grinding?
First, turn the disposal OFF to prevent motor damage. Next, press the red reset button on the bottom of the unit; if it immediately trips again, leave it off. Never stick your hand into the disposal. Avoid chemical drain cleaners, which can corrode components and pipes. Call our licensed plumbers—often the issue is a jammed flywheel, failed capacitor, or seized bearings, all of which we can safely resolve without voiding the manufacturer warranty.
Do your garbage disposal repairs come with a warranty?
Absolutely. All labor is backed by a 1-year workmanship guarantee, and any replacement parts we install carry the manufacturer’s warranty—typically 1–5 years depending on the model. If the same issue reoccurs within the warranty period, we will return at no charge to make it right.
When is it more cost-effective to replace rather than repair a garbage disposal?
We generally recommend replacement when the unit is over 8–10 years old, has extensive corrosion or cracked housing, or requires repairs that exceed 50% of the cost of a new disposal. Newer ENERGY STAR-rated models can cut energy use by up to 20% and come with extended warranties. Our technicians will always present both repair and replacement options so you can choose what makes the most sense for your budget and household needs.
