FAQs
What does “upfront pricing” mean for your garbage disposal repair services in Monterey?
Upfront pricing means we diagnose the issue, calculate the total labor and material costs, and give you a firm, written quote before any work begins. You’ll know exactly what you’ll pay for your garbage disposal repair—no hidden fees, overtime charges, or surprise add-ons—so you can approve the work with confidence.
How quickly can you repair my garbage disposal in Monterey or nearby areas?
In most cases we offer same-day or next-day appointments throughout Monterey, Pacific Grove, Seaside, Carmel, and Marina. Typical repairs take 60–90 minutes once we’re on site. If you have an emergency (e.g., disposal leaking under the sink), let our dispatcher know and we’ll do our best to prioritize your call.
What are common signs my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
• Persistent humming with no grinding action • Frequent circuit breaker trips or unit shut-offs • Water leaking from the bottom or side of the disposal • Slow drainage even after plunging • Unusual grinding, rattling, or metal-on-metal noises These symptoms often indicate worn bearings, jammed impellers, failed seals, or electrical faults that require a licensed plumber’s tools and expertise.
Is it better to repair or replace a malfunctioning garbage disposal?
Our technician will assess the disposal’s age, motor condition, and repair cost. If the unit is under 7–8 years old and the repair is less than 50 % of a comparable new unit’s price, repair usually makes financial sense. Older units with cracked housings, extensive rust, or burnt-out motors are generally more economical to replace. We present both options and let you decide—always at an upfront price.
Do you warranty your garbage disposal repairs?
Yes. All garbage disposal repairs are backed by a 1-year parts and labor warranty. If the same component fails within that period, we’ll return and fix it at no charge. New disposal installations come with the manufacturer’s warranty (typically 3–5 years) plus our 1-year workmanship guarantee.
What can I do to keep my garbage disposal running smoothly after the repair?
• Run cold water before, during, and 15 seconds after grinding. • Feed small amounts of food gradually—avoid large batches. • Never grind fibrous items (celery, corn husks), grease, or coffee grounds. • Freshen monthly with ice cubes and a citrus peel. • Use a disposal-safe cleaner (no harsh drain chemicals). Following these tips will extend the life of your newly repaired disposal and minimize the need for future service calls.
