FAQs
What does “up-front pricing” mean for garbage disposal repairs in Kelso?
Up-front pricing means you receive a firm, written quote before any work begins. After we inspect your disposal and identify the problem, we give you one flat price that covers parts, labor, taxes, and trip charges. The amount will not change even if the job takes longer than expected, so you know exactly what you’ll pay before you approve the repair.
What types of garbage disposal problems can your Kelso plumbers fix?
Our licensed technicians repair most disposal issues, including units that hum but won’t spin, jammed flywheels, clogged or slow-draining chambers, leaks under the sink, bad odors, tripped reset buttons, and units that shut off unexpectedly. We work on all major brands—InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, GE, KitchenAid, and more—and carry common replacement parts on our trucks for faster service.
How do I know whether my garbage disposal should be repaired or replaced?
During our diagnostic visit we evaluate the age of the unit, motor condition, grinding components, and housing integrity. If the disposal is under 8 – 10 years old and the motor is healthy, a repair (such as freeing a jam, replacing a gasket, or installing a new switch) is usually cost-effective. If the motor is burned out, the chamber is cracked, or repair costs exceed 50 % of a new unit, we’ll recommend replacement and provide an up-front price for both options so you can make an informed decision.
How soon can you come to my home in Kelso for garbage disposal service?
We offer same-day appointments Monday through Saturday for calls placed before 2 p.m. and 24/7 emergency service for severe leaks or backed-up sinks. Most customers in Kelso, Lexington, and the surrounding Cowlitz County area are scheduled within a 2-hour arrival window, and we call or text when we’re 30 minutes away so you’re not left waiting.
Is there anything I should do before the plumber arrives?
Yes—turn off the disposal switch, avoid putting additional food or water down the drain, and locate the circuit breaker that powers the unit in case we need to reset it. Clear out items stored under the sink so our technician has room to work, and if you have pets, please secure them for everyone’s safety. No further preparation is necessary.
Are your plumbers licensed and is the repair guaranteed?
Absolutely. All of our Kelso plumbers are Washington-licensed, bonded, and insured. We follow local plumbing codes and the manufacturer’s service guidelines. Every garbage disposal repair includes a 1-year parts and labor warranty, and if the same issue recurs within that period, we’ll return and fix it at no additional cost.
