FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair or replacement?
Frequent clogs, a humming noise without grinding, water leaking from the unit or the cabinet below, persistent foul odors that don’t go away after cleaning, and the need to press the reset button repeatedly are all indicators that something is wrong. If the unit is over 8–10 years old or the motor has completely failed, replacement is often more cost-effective than repair.
Can I troubleshoot a jammed garbage disposal myself before calling a plumber in Evensville?
Yes. First, cut power to the unit by switching off the breaker or unplugging it. Use an Allen (hex) wrench in the disposal’s bottom slot to manually turn the impeller and free minor jams. You can also press the red reset button on the bottom of the unit after freeing the jam. Never put your hand into the disposal chamber—use tongs or pliers if you need to remove debris. If these steps don’t restore normal operation, it’s time to call a licensed Evensville plumber.
How much does garbage disposal repair typically cost in Evensville?
Minor fixes such as clearing jams or replacing a splash guard often run $85–$150. More involved repairs—like replacing a cracked flange, leaking seals, or electrical components—range from $175–$300. If the motor is shot or the grinding plate is fractured, replacement costs (including a new unit and installation) usually fall between $350 and $600. We offer free estimates so you’ll know the exact price before any work begins.
Do you service all brands and models of kitchen garbage disposals?
Absolutely. Our technicians are trained to diagnose and repair all major brands, including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, GE, KitchenAid, and Whirlpool, as well as many off-brand or older models still found in Evensville homes. We carry a full stock of gaskets, flanges, splash guards, and electrical components, enabling most repairs to be completed in a single visit.
How quickly can you respond to a garbage disposal emergency in Evensville?
We offer same-day service Monday through Saturday for calls received before 2 p.m., and 24/7 emergency dispatch for severe leaks, backups, or electrical hazards. Our Evensville-based technicians can usually be at your door within 60–90 minutes of your call, fully equipped to diagnose and repair the problem on the spot.
What can I do to extend the life of my garbage disposal after it's repaired?
Run cold water before, during, and after use to move waste through the pipes; avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), starchy foods (potato peels, rice), and hard items (bones, fruit pits); cut large scraps into smaller pieces; and clean monthly by grinding a tray of ice cubes and citrus peels followed by a half-cup of baking soda and white vinegar. Never pour grease, oil, or harsh chemicals down the disposal—these steps can add years to the life of your newly repaired unit.
