FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?
Typical warning signs include loud grinding or metal-on-metal noises, persistent odors even after cleaning, water leaking from the unit or the sink cabinet, repeated circuit breaker trips, and a disposal that hums but won’t spin. If you notice any of these issues in your Jefferson City home, it’s best to shut the unit off and call a professional to prevent further damage.
Which garbage disposal brands and models do you service in Jefferson City?
Our licensed technicians are trained to repair all major disposal brands, including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, and Whirlaway. We carry OEM and high-quality aftermarket parts on our service trucks, so most repairs can be completed in a single visit regardless of horsepower rating or installation style (batch-feed or continuous-feed).
Is it safe to keep using my kitchen sink if the garbage disposal has stopped working?
You can still run water down the sink, but avoid sending any food scraps, grease, or fibrous materials into the drain. A jammed or non-operational disposal can clog your drain line and potentially cause a backup. To stay on the safe side, discontinue regular use, flip the wall switch off, and schedule a service call so we can restore full functionality quickly.
How soon can you come out for a garbage disposal repair in Jefferson City?
We offer same-day and next-day appointments throughout Jefferson City and surrounding communities. If you call before noon, we can usually dispatch a certified plumber that afternoon. For after-hours or weekend emergencies—such as major leaks or total drain blockage—we provide 24/7 emergency service with a rapid two-hour response window.
Do you provide any warranty on garbage disposal repairs?
Yes. All repair work is backed by a 90-day labor warranty, and most replacement parts include a manufacturer’s warranty ranging from one to five years. If the same problem recurs within the warranty period, we will return and fix it at no additional cost. Extended service plans are also available for homeowners seeking long-term peace of mind.
Should I repair or replace my malfunctioning garbage disposal?
We evaluate three factors: age, frequency of problems, and repair cost. If your disposal is under eight years old and the repair is minor—such as clearing a jam, replacing a splash guard, or installing a new gasket—repair is usually the best choice. For units older than ten years, suffering motor or bearing failure, or requiring repairs that exceed 50% of replacement cost, we recommend upgrading to a new, more energy-efficient model. During our visit, we’ll provide an honest assessment and upfront pricing so you can make an informed decision.
