FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Typical warning signs include persistent humming without grinding, repeated tripping of the reset button or breaker, slow drainage or standing water in the sink, unexplained leaks under the unit, foul odors that won’t dissipate after cleaning, and audible metal-on-metal scraping sounds. If you notice any of these in your Huntland home, shut the disposal off to prevent further damage and schedule a diagnostic visit.
How do your state-of-the-art diagnostics improve the repair process?
Our technicians use smart circuit analyzers, thermal imaging, and fiber-optic camera scopes to pinpoint electrical faults, overheating windings, jammed impellers, and drain obstructions without disassembling the entire unit. This precision reduces guesswork, shortens repair time, and ensures we replace only the components that have truly failed—saving you money and minimizing downtime.
Can you service any brand or model of garbage disposal?
Yes. We’re factory-trained on all major brands, including InSinkErator, Moen, KitchenAid, Waste King, GE, and Whirlaway. Our diagnostic software contains wiring diagrams and part numbers for more than 300 current and legacy models, allowing us to source OEM components quickly—even for older units no longer sold in local Huntland stores.
How long does a typical garbage disposal repair take once you arrive?
Most repairs—such as jam removal, motor capacitor replacement, or leak sealing—are completed in 60–90 minutes. Extensive issues like armature rewinding or complete chamber replacement can take 2–3 hours. Because our vans are stocked with the most common parts, over 85% of Huntland service calls are finished in a single trip.
What does garbage disposal repair cost, and do you provide upfront pricing?
Diagnostic service starts at $79, which is waived when you proceed with the repair. Standard fixes range from $145 for jam clearance to around $350 for motor or grinding plate replacement. After the diagnostic scan, we present a flat, written quote before any work begins—no hidden fees, even if we need a return visit to install special-order parts.
How can I keep my disposal running smoothly after it’s repaired?
Run cold water for 20–30 seconds before and after grinding, avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), starchy build-ups (potato peels), and grease or cooking oils. Feed scraps gradually, rather than all at once, and refresh the chamber weekly with a cup of ice cubes and a slice of lemon. Schedule an annual inspection, during which we’ll recalibrate the overload protector and check for developing leaks.
