FAQs
What types of garbage disposal problems can your licensed technicians in Estill Springs repair?
Our plumbers can fix a full range of garbage disposal issues, including jams, clogs, humming motors, leaking seals, slow drainage, foul odors, blades that won’t spin, and units that refuse to turn on at all. We service all major brands and models, from basic continuous-feed units to high-end batch-feed disposals.
How quickly can you dispatch a technician to my home in Estill Springs for garbage disposal repair?
For most service calls within Estill Springs, we offer same-day or next-day appointments. Emergency situations—such as a leaking disposal causing water damage—receive priority scheduling, and a licensed technician is typically on site within 2–4 hours of your call.
Is it better to repair or replace my garbage disposal?
If the unit is under 8–10 years old and the motor, grinding chamber, and housing are still in good shape, a repair is usually the most cost-effective choice. However, if the motor is burned out, the housing is cracked, or repairs would cost more than half the price of a new disposal, we recommend replacement. Our technician will provide a clear estimate and explain all options so you can make an informed decision.
What should I do before the plumber arrives to repair my garbage disposal?
First, turn off the disposal at the wall switch and, if possible, unplug it or switch off the circuit breaker for safety. Do not put your hand into the disposal or attempt to disassemble it. Clear out items stored under the sink to give the technician easy access. If the unit is leaking, place a towel or bucket underneath to catch water and protect cabinetry.
Are your garbage disposal repairs covered by any warranty?
Yes. All labor performed by our licensed technicians is backed by a 90-day workmanship warranty. Replacement parts come with the manufacturer’s warranty, which typically ranges from 1 to 5 years depending on the brand. If the same issue reoccurs within the warranty period, we will return and fix it at no additional cost.
How can I prevent future garbage disposal problems?
Run cold water for 15–20 seconds before and after use, feed food waste gradually, avoid fibrous foods (like celery), expandable foods (like pasta and rice), grease, and large bones, and clean the disposal monthly with ice cubes and a small amount of rock salt or citrus peels. Schedule an annual inspection with a licensed plumber to catch minor issues—such as loose seals or worn blades—before they become major repairs.
