FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Typical warning signs include a humming motor without grinding, repeated tripped reset buttons, water leaking from the unit or drain connections, foul odors that don’t go away after cleaning, visible rust or cracks, and circuit breakers that trip when you switch the disposal on. If you notice any of these in your Jonesborough home, it’s best to shut the unit off and call a licensed plumber to prevent further damage.
How fast can your Jonesborough plumbers get here, and what exactly does “fully stocked trucks” mean?
Our dispatch center is based right here in Washington County, so most customers receive same-day service—often within just a few hours. “Fully stocked trucks” means each vehicle carries a complete inventory of garbage disposal parts (seals, flanges, gaskets, motors, switches, wiring harnesses) plus specialty tools and diagnostic equipment. Because we don’t have to run back to the warehouse or supply house, your repair is finished faster and you avoid extra labor charges.
Can you fix any brand or model of garbage disposal, or will I have to replace mine?
We repair all major brands—InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King, KitchenAid, Badger, and more—as well as less common or older models. Our technicians first diagnose the exact failure, whether it’s a jammed flywheel, worn bearings, burnt-out motor, or leaky sink flange. If the unit is repairable and parts are still available, we’ll fix it on the spot. If the cost of parts and labor approaches or exceeds the price of a new disposal, we’ll give you the numbers and let you decide. We also carry new disposals on the truck if replacement is the smarter option.
How much does garbage disposal repair cost, and do you provide upfront pricing?
Most repairs in Jonesborough fall between $125 and $275, depending on the part that failed and how long the job takes. You’ll get a written, flat-rate quote after the diagnostic and before any work starts, so there are no surprise fees. If the disposal must be replaced, we quote the new unit plus installation separately, and our service call fee is waived when you proceed with the repair or replacement.
Is there anything I should do before the technician arrives?
Yes—turn off the disposal at the wall switch and, if possible, flip the breaker for additional safety. Clear out cleaning supplies or stored items from under the sink so the plumber has room to work. Avoid using the dishwasher, since many disposals share a drain line. Lastly, make a quick note of what happened before the failure (strange noises, what went down the drain, previous resets) to speed up troubleshooting.
How can I prevent future garbage disposal problems once it’s repaired?
Run cold water before, during, and 15–20 seconds after grinding to keep fats solid and moving. Feed food waste slowly and avoid fibrous items like celery, corn husks, and onion skins that can wrap around the impellers. Never pour grease, coffee grounds, or expandable foods such as rice or pasta down the disposal. Freshen monthly with ice cubes and a small amount of rock salt or citrus peels. Finally, schedule an annual plumbing inspection—our fully stocked truck can check the disposal, supply lines, and traps during the same visit.
