FAQs
What situations with a garbage disposal qualify as an emergency in Newcomb?
Any issue that creates a safety hazard, flood risk, or total loss of kitchen sink use counts as an emergency. Examples include severe leaks under the sink, disposal jammed with standing water backing up, electrical burning smell or smoke, or a disposal that will not shut off. If you face any of these, call our 24/7 hotline and we will dispatch a licensed plumber immediately.
How quickly can you arrive for an emergency garbage disposal repair in Newcomb?
Because we have technicians on call around the clock, our average arrival time inside Newcomb city limits is 60 minutes or less. During peak weather or traffic conditions we will give you a live ETA when you call, but we always prioritize emergencies that threaten flooding or electrical hazards.
Do you charge extra for after-hours or weekend garbage disposal repairs?
Yes, emergency service outside normal business hours (8 a.m.–5 p.m. weekdays) carries a modest after-hours fee that covers overtime labor and immediate dispatch costs. We quote that fee—and any parts pricing—up-front over the phone so you can approve before we roll a truck. There are no hidden charges or surprise surcharges once the job is complete.
Can my garbage disposal be repaired, or will it need replacement?
About 70 % of emergency calls end with a successful repair such as clearing a jam, replacing a worn splash guard, fixing a leaking gasket, or resetting a tripped internal breaker. However, if the motor has seized, the housing is cracked, or the unit is older than 10 years, replacement is usually the safer, more cost-effective option. We carry common disposal models on our trucks for same-day installation if needed.
What should I do while waiting for the plumber to arrive?
1) Turn off the disposal at the wall switch and, if safe, unplug it or flip the breaker to eliminate electrical risk. 2) Avoid putting hands or tools inside the unit. 3) If water is leaking, place a bucket or towels under the sink and shut off the sink’s water supply valves to limit damage. 4) Keep children and pets away from the area. Our technician will handle the rest on arrival.
Are your emergency disposal repairs guaranteed?
Absolutely. All labor is covered by a 12-month workmanship warranty, and any new disposals or parts we install carry the full manufacturer warranty (typically 1–5 years). If the same problem reoccurs within the warranty period, we will return and correct it at no additional cost.
