FAQs
What are the most common signs my garbage disposal needs repair?
Warning signs include humming without grinding, frequent resets, water leaking from the unit or connections, foul odors that cleaning won ’t remove, slow drainage, and circuit breakers tripping when you turn the disposal on. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to shut the unit off and schedule a professional inspection to prevent further damage.
How does your same-day garbage disposal repair service work?
Call or book online before noon, and one of our licensed plumbers will be dispatched that afternoon. We arrive with fully stocked trucks carrying the most common disposal parts, gaskets, and wiring components, allowing us to complete 90% of repairs during the first visit. If specialized parts are required, we’ll provide a temporary work-around when possible and return the next day at no extra trip charge.
Can you tell on site whether my disposal should be repaired or replaced?
Yes. During diagnosis we check motor amperage draw, impeller plate balance, grinding chamber wear, and any leaks at the sink flange or dishwasher inlet. If the motor is burned out or the grinding chamber is cracked, replacement is more cost-effective. Otherwise, issues like jammed impellers, worn seals, or faulty wiring can usually be repaired for a fraction of replacement cost. We’ll explain the findings and provide both options so you can decide.
How much does a same-day garbage disposal repair typically cost?
Most repairs run $125–$250, which includes the trip fee, diagnostic, labor, and common parts such as gaskets, splash guards, and reset switches. Complex electrical rewiring or replacement of rare components can raise the price, but we always give a written, flat-rate quote before work begins, and there is never an overtime surcharge for evening or weekend calls covered by our same-day guarantee.
Is it safe to keep using my disposal if it’s making strange noises or has partially stopped working?
No. Continued use can overheat the motor, blow fuses, or cause leaks that damage cabinets and flooring. Turn the wall switch off, unplug the unit (or shut off the breaker), and avoid putting additional food waste down the drain until a technician has inspected the disposal. Attempting to free jams with utensils or your hands is dangerous and can void warranties.
Which garbage disposal brands and models do you service?
We service and stock parts for all major residential brands, including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, Whirlpool, and Badger series units. Our plumbers are trained to work on continuous-feed, batch-feed, and septic-safe models ranging from 1/3 HP to 1-HP. If you own a less common or commercial unit, contact us with the model number and we’ll confirm parts availability before your appointment.
