FAQs
How do I know if my garbage disposal needs repair or full replacement?
Common signs include persistent clogs, humming without grinding, leaking from the unit or sink flange, foul odors that cleaning can’t remove, or the need to frequently press the reset button. Our Dunlap technicians will inspect the motor, impellers, seals, and electrical connections; if repairs exceed 50% of the cost of a new unit or the motor is burned out, we typically recommend replacement. Otherwise, we’ll repair worn parts, reseal leaks, and restore safe operation.
What garbage-disposal problems can your plumbers fix in Dunlap?
We handle jammed or seized flywheels, dull or broken impellers, leaking sink flanges, damaged splash guards, loose electrical connections, unresponsive switches, drain-line clogs, and foul-odor buildup. Whether it’s a residential 1⁄3-hp unit or a heavy-duty commercial disposal, our licensed plumbers arrive with OEM parts and specialized tools to get you back up and running quickly.
How fast can you respond to a garbage-disposal emergency in Dunlap?
For Dunlap residents we offer same-day appointments, and in most cases we can arrive within 90 minutes. Emergency slots are available 24/7, including weekends and holidays, to stop flooding from disposal leaks or restore a kitchen that’s out of service. Just call our dispatch line and a live representative will schedule the next available technician.
Are your technicians certified to work on all brands and models?
Yes. Our plumbers are state-licensed, Bonded & Insured, and receive factory training on InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, Whirlpool, and other leading brands. We stay current on warranty requirements so any repair we perform keeps your manufacturer coverage intact. We also stock universal replacement parts for older or discontinued models.
What can I do to prevent future clogs or breakdowns?
Run cold water before, during, and 15 seconds after grinding; cut large scraps into smaller pieces; avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), starchy items (potato peels, pasta), grease, bones, and coffee grounds. Freshen the unit monthly by grinding ice cubes with a citrus peel. Have our Dunlap plumbers perform an annual tune-up to sharpen impellers, tighten mounting bolts, and flush the drain line.
How much does garbage-disposal repair cost and do you offer warranties?
Most repairs in Dunlap range $95–$250, depending on parts and labor. Full replacements (unit + installation) start at $375 for a standard 1⁄2-hp model. We provide upfront, flat-rate quotes and never charge travel fees within the Dunlap area. All repairs come with a 1-year parts and labor warranty; new disposals carry the manufacturer’s warranty plus our 2-year workmanship guarantee.
