FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Look for persistent clogs, humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit or the sink flange, foul odors that won’t wash away, frequent resets, or the disposal shutting off by itself. Any of these issues usually indicate worn-out blades, a failed motor, or loose seals that a licensed New Tazewell plumber should inspect and fix.
Can I troubleshoot my garbage disposal myself, or should I call a licensed plumber?
You can try simple checks—turn the power off, press the red reset button, and use an Allen (jam-buster) wrench to free jams. If the unit still hums, leaks, trips the breaker, or stops working entirely, it’s time to call a licensed, bonded, and insured New Tazewell plumber. Attempting complex repairs without training can damage the disposal, void warranties, or create electrical and water-leak hazards.
How fast can your plumbers reach my home in New Tazewell for a garbage disposal emergency?
We offer same-day service for most calls placed before 3 p.m. in New Tazewell and surrounding Claiborne County communities. For after-hours or weekend emergencies, our on-call technician can usually be at your door within 60–90 minutes to shut off water, prevent flooding, and get the disposal running or safely disconnected if replacement parts are required.
What brands and models of garbage disposals do you repair?
Our licensed plumbers service all major brands, including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, GE, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, and Badger series units. We stock the most common gaskets, splash guards, and motors on our trucks. If parts are discontinued, we’ll locate OEM replacements or recommend compatible upgrades that meet Tennessee plumbing codes.
Will my disposal need to be replaced, or can it usually be repaired?
About 70 % of the disposals we inspect in New Tazewell can be repaired the same day by replacing worn blades, seals, or electrical components. We recommend full replacement if the motor is burned out, the housing is cracked, or the unit is over 10 years old—repairs at that stage cost nearly as much as a new, more efficient model that comes with a fresh warranty.
How much does garbage disposal repair cost in New Tazewell, and do you guarantee your work?
Typical repairs—such as clearing jams, replacing gaskets, or installing a new splash guard—range from $95 to $225, including parts and labor. Motor or full unit replacements usually fall between $325 and $475, depending on horsepower and features. All repairs include a one-year parts and labor warranty, and new disposals carry the manufacturer’s warranty plus our two-year workmanship guarantee.
