FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Warning signs include loud grinding or metal-on-metal noises, persistent clogs, water leaking from the unit or under the sink, a burning smell, repeated circuit-breaker trips, and a motor that hums but will not spin. If you notice any of these symptoms, shut the disposal off, avoid using harsh chemicals, and schedule service with one of our licensed Jonesborough plumbers to prevent further damage.
Can your Jonesborough technicians work on any brand or model of garbage disposal?
Yes. Our licensed and insured plumbers are factory-trained to service all major brands sold in Tennessee, including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, Badger, and Whirlaway. We carry a full stock of common replacement parts on our trucks, allowing us to complete most repairs in a single visit regardless of the unit’s age or horsepower rating.
What should I do if my disposal stops working suddenly?
First, turn the switch off to avoid motor damage. Check for an overloaded circuit or a tripped GFCI outlet and press the unit’s reset button—usually located on the bottom of the disposal. If the motor still hums or remains silent, do not reach into the chamber with your hand. Call our Jonesborough office for same-day service; we can safely clear jams, replace worn capacitors, or restore power without risking injury.
How much does garbage disposal repair typically cost in Jonesborough?
Most standard repairs, such as jam removal, reset button replacement, or minor leak repairs, range from $95 to $185. More complex issues—like motor replacement, cracked housings, or extensive rewiring—can cost $200–$350. After our inspection, we provide a written, flat-rate quote so you know the exact price before any work begins. Diagnostic fees are waived when you approve the repair.
Should I repair my existing garbage disposal or replace it with a new unit?
Our technician will evaluate the unit’s age, horsepower, internal corrosion level, and cost of replacement parts. If the motor is seized, the chamber is rusted, or repair costs exceed 50% of the price of a new disposal, we usually recommend replacement. Newer ENERGY STAR-rated models run quieter, handle tougher food waste, and often include multi-year warranties, making them a better long-term value.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured, and do you guarantee your garbage disposal repairs?
Absolutely. All of our Jonesborough plumbers hold current Tennessee state plumbing licenses and carry full liability and workers’ compensation insurance. We back every garbage disposal repair with a 1-year parts and labor warranty, and many manufacturer-supplied components carry additional coverage. If the same problem recurs within the warranty period, we will return and fix it at no charge.
