FAQs
What are the most common garbage disposal problems you repair in Morristown kitchens?
The issues we see most often include jammed impellers, humming but non-grinding motors, chronic clogs in the disposal drain line, leaking seals or gaskets, and units that trip the reset button or breaker. Our technicians carry the parts and tools to diagnose and fix these problems on the spot, usually in a single visit.
How do I know whether my garbage disposal can be repaired or needs replacement?
Age, extent of damage, and motor condition are the key factors. If the unit is less than 8–10 years old and the motor still runs, repairs such as freeing a jam, replacing a splash guard, or resealing a leak are typically cost-effective. If the housing is cracked, the motor is burned out, or the unit is older than a decade, replacement is usually the better long-term value. During our service call we will inspect the disposal, explain your options, and provide transparent pricing for both repair and replacement.
What should I do if my garbage disposal is humming but not grinding?
First, turn the unit off to prevent motor damage. Insert the hex key that came with your disposal (or a 1⁄4-inch Allen wrench) into the bottom center slot and gently work it back and forth to free the impeller plate. Press the red reset button underneath, restore power, and try again. If the unit still hums, cut power at the breaker and call our Morristown team. Continuous humming can overheat and permanently damage the motor, so prompt professional service is important.
Can you clear kitchen sink clogs that originate in the garbage disposal?
Yes. Many sink backups stem from food debris or grease lodged in the disposal chamber or the discharge pipe. We start by clearing the disposal itself, then use augers or hydro-jetting, if necessary, to flush the branch drain and P-trap. We avoid harsh chemical drain cleaners that can corrode plumbing and disposal seals. After clearing the clog we run diagnostics to ensure proper water flow and provide tips to prevent future blockages.
How much does garbage disposal repair cost in Morristown?
Service call and diagnosis start at approximately $89. Typical repairs such as jam removal, reset, or gasket replacement range from $120–$220 including labor and parts. More involved fixes like motor or flange replacement can run $250–$350. We will always quote the exact price up front before work begins, and our repairs are backed by a one-year parts and labor warranty for your peace of mind.
