FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Frequent circuit breaker trips, humming without grinding, persistent clogs, water leaking from the unit, and foul odors that cleaning can’t remove all indicate a mechanical or electrical problem. If resetting the disposal and gentle cleaning don’t restore normal operation, call our Kelso-based licensed technicians before further damage occurs.
Do your licensed Kelso technicians service every brand and model of garbage disposal?
Yes. We stay up-to-date on major manufacturers such as InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King, GE, KitchenAid, and Badger, as well as less common or discontinued models. Our vans are stocked with universal gaskets, splash guards, flywheel wrenches, and OEM replacement parts so most repairs can be completed on the first visit.
How soon can you come out for a garbage disposal repair in Kelso?
We offer same-day and next-day appointments throughout Kelso and Cowlitz County. Call before noon Monday-Friday and we can usually dispatch a technician that afternoon. For after-hours emergencies—like major leaks that could damage cabinets—we provide 24/7 on-call service with a modest emergency fee.
What does your garbage disposal repair service include and how much does it cost?
Every job starts with a 15-point inspection covering electrical connections, switch continuity, impeller wear, grinding ring condition, drain line integrity, and leak points. You’ll receive a written estimate before any work begins. Minor fixes such as jam removal or gasket replacement typically run $99-$149; motor or bearing replacements average $200-$300. All repairs are backed by a 1-year parts and labor warranty.
When is it better to replace rather than repair my garbage disposal?
If the unit is over 10 years old, has extensive rust, or the motor armature is burned out, replacement is usually more cost-effective. Our technicians can install a new, energy-efficient 1/2 to 3/4 HP disposal in the same visit if you choose. We’ll haul away the old unit for recycling at no extra charge.
How can I keep my garbage disposal running smoothly after your repair?
Run cold water before, during, and 15 seconds after use to flush food particles. Avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), grease, and expandable items like pasta. Once a month, grind ice cubes with a citrus peel to clean and deodorize. Finally, schedule an annual maintenance check—free for the first year after any repair by our Kelso team.
