FAQs
How do I know my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Warning signs include persistent clogs, humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit or sink cabinet, foul odors you cannot eliminate, and the reset button tripping repeatedly. If these issues persist after you’ve tried basic troubleshooting—such as pressing the reset button, checking for jammed utensils, or running cold water—call our certified plumbers. Continuing to use a failing unit can damage your plumbing and electrical systems.
Do you service all makes and models of garbage disposals in Kingston?
Yes. Our certified plumbers are factory-trained to diagnose and repair every major brand, including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, and Whirlpool. We stock common replacement parts on our service vehicles, so most repairs can be completed in a single visit anywhere in Kingston and the surrounding suburbs.
How quickly can your Kingston plumbers respond to a garbage disposal emergency?
For urgent issues—such as a leaking disposal that’s causing cabinet or floor damage—we offer same-day emergency service, usually within 2–4 hours of your call. For non-emergency repairs, we can schedule a convenient appointment, often on the next business day. Our dispatch center is staffed 24/7, so you’ll always reach a live representative.
What does a typical garbage disposal repair cost?
Pricing varies with the complexity of the problem and required parts, but most repairs fall between $120 and $275, including labor and materials. After a thorough diagnosis, we provide a written, upfront estimate before any work begins. There are no hidden fees, and we waive the service-call charge when you approve the repair.
Can you replace my garbage disposal if it’s beyond repair?
Absolutely. If the motor is burned out, the grinding chamber is cracked, or the unit is more than 10–12 years old, replacement is often more cost-effective. We’ll recommend models that match your sink configuration, household usage, and budget. Installation includes removal and eco-friendly disposal of the old unit, electrical and plumbing hook-ups, leak testing, and a full parts-and-labor warranty.
What can I do to prevent future garbage disposal problems?
Run cold water before, during, and after grinding; feed waste slowly rather than all at once; avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), starchy items (potato peels, pasta), grease, and non-food objects; use citrus peels occasionally to freshen the chamber; and once a month grind a few ice cubes with a tablespoon of rock salt to clean the blades. Scheduling an annual plumbing inspection with our certified Kingston plumbers will catch small issues before they become major repairs.
