FAQs
What are the most common signs my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Warning signs include persistent humming with no grinding, frequent circuit breaker trips, water leaking from the unit or the sink flange, foul odors that won’t go away after cleaning, and repeated jams that require you to hit the reset button. If you notice any of these issues in your Morristown home, our licensed plumbers can diagnose the root cause—whether it’s a worn-out motor, damaged impellers, or a faulty electrical connection—and recommend the most cost-effective repair.
How quickly can your licensed plumbers get to my Morristown property?
Because we’re based in Morristown, our fully stocked service vans are usually able to reach most neighborhoods within 60–90 minutes for emergency calls and same-day for standard service. We offer 24/7 emergency dispatch, so whether your disposal backs up on a weekday morning or a Sunday night, we have a licensed plumber on call to restore your kitchen’s functionality.
What typically causes a garbage disposal to jam, leak, or stop working?
Jams are often triggered by fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), hard objects (bones, fruit pits), or non-food debris (utensils, bottle caps) lodged between the impellers. Leaks can stem from a deteriorated sink flange gasket, loose dishwasher hose, or a cracked disposal body. Units that simply stop working may have tripped the internal overload switch, suffered motor burn-out, or experienced wiring issues. Our technicians inspect each component—electrical, mechanical, and plumbing—to pinpoint failures and prevent repeat breakdowns.
Is it safe to pour chemical drain cleaners into my disposal to clear clogs?
We strongly advise against using chemical drain cleaners on garbage disposals. The harsh acids and caustic agents can corrode metal parts, degrade rubber gaskets, and void many manufacturers’ warranties. Worse, splashing chemicals can pose a burn hazard when you run the unit. A safer approach is to shut off the power, attempt manual removal with tongs, or call our Morristown team for professional, mechanically safe clearing and bio-enzymatic cleaning options.
Do you service all garbage disposal brands, and will repairs void my warranty?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers are factory-trained on InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King, GE, KitchenAid, and other leading brands. We use OEM parts whenever possible, comply with the manufacturer’s repair guidelines, and document our work so your original warranty remains intact. If your unit is still under warranty, we’ll help process any claim paperwork and ensure you receive eligible replacement parts at no extra cost.
How much does garbage disposal repair cost, and is there a warranty on your work?
In Morristown, minor repairs such as clearing jams or replacing rubber splash guards typically range from $125–$175. More complex jobs like motor replacement, leak repairs, or complete unit swap-outs can run $250–$450, depending on parts and labor. We always provide upfront, flat-rate estimates before starting work. All repairs come with a written 1-year labor warranty, and parts carry the manufacturer’s warranty—giving you peace of mind that the fix will last.
