FAQs
What types of garbage disposal problems qualify for your 24/7 emergency service in Huntland?
Any situation that threatens water damage, health hazards, or complete loss of kitchen sink function is treated as an emergency. This includes severe leaks under the sink, electrical failures that trip breakers, total motor burn-outs, jams that back up wastewater into the sink, foul odors caused by trapped food, and noises indicating a broken flywheel or impeller. If you’re unsure, call us—our dispatcher will quickly assess whether you need immediate service or a scheduled appointment.
How fast can your plumbers get to my Huntland home after I request an emergency garbage disposal repair?
We maintain on-call technicians stationed throughout Franklin County and neighboring areas, allowing us to reach most Huntland addresses within 60 minutes—day or night, weekends and holidays included. You’ll receive a text or call with your technician’s exact ETA, their name, and photo ID for peace of mind. If extreme weather or road closures may delay arrival, our dispatcher will let you know up front and provide interim safety steps.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber if my disposal is leaking or jammed?
• Turn off power: Flip the wall switch OFF and locate the disposal’s dedicated breaker to eliminate shock risk. • Contain water: Place a bucket or towels under the sink to collect leaks and prevent cabinet damage. • Do NOT stick hands or tools inside: Hidden sharp impellers can cause injury. • Avoid chemical drain cleaners: They often corrode seals and may splash when the technician disassembles the unit. • Keep children and pets away: Leaks and exposed wiring are hazardous. Following these steps limits damage and speeds up the repair once we arrive.
Will I be charged extra for late-night, weekend, or holiday garbage disposal service?
Our emergency service carries a modest after-hours diagnostic fee that covers the cost of keeping certified technicians on call 24/7. Once on site, repairs are billed at the same flat-rate menu pricing we use during regular hours—no surprise surcharges or hidden labor multipliers. Before work begins, you’ll approve a written estimate that lists parts, labor, and the after-hours fee so you know exactly what you’re paying.
If my garbage disposal can’t be fixed, can you replace it during the same emergency visit?
Yes. Our trucks are stocked with industry-leading 1⁄2-HP and 3⁄4-HP continuous-feed disposals that fit 90% of Huntland homes. If your unit is cracked, the motor is seized, or repair would cost more than half the price of a new model, we’ll recommend replacement. We can remove the old unit, install the new disposal, reconnect electrical and plumbing, and test for leaks—all in a single visit. We also haul away and recycle the old appliance at no extra charge.
How can I prevent future garbage disposal emergencies after you repair or replace my unit?
• Run cold water for 15 seconds before and after using the disposal to flush debris. • Feed waste slowly; avoid large dumps of food. • Never grind fibrous items (celery, corn husks), grease, bones thicker than a chicken wing, or expandable foods like pasta. • Clean monthly by grinding ice cubes with a splash of citrus or baking soda and vinegar. • Schedule an annual plumbing inspection: we’ll check disposal wiring, seals, and drain connections. Following these tips extends the life of your disposal and reduces the need for late-night emergency calls.
