FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Watch for humming without grinding, repeated tripping of the reset button, water leaking from the unit or under-sink plumbing, persistent foul odors that cleaning won’t remove, and loud metal-on-metal noises. Any of these symptoms can indicate a jammed flywheel, worn bearings, cracked housing, or electrical failure that our licensed Newcomb technicians can diagnose and fix safely.
Is it safe to pour chemical drain cleaners into a jammed or slow garbage disposal?
No. Caustic drain cleaners can corrode the disposal’s metal components, splash back and burn skin or eyes when the unit is re-started, and pollute Newcomb’s wastewater system. Instead, turn the power off at the breaker and call a licensed plumber. We use specialized tools and bio-safe cleaners to clear blockages without damaging your disposal or your plumbing.
How quickly can your technicians in Newcomb respond to a garbage-disposal emergency?
We offer same-day service Monday through Saturday and 24/7 emergency dispatch for severe leaks or electrical hazards. Most calls within Newcomb receive a technician on site within 2–4 hours. Our trucks are stocked with replacement parts and new disposals, allowing us to complete 90 % of repairs on the first visit.
Do you repair every make and model, and what if my disposal is beyond repair?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers are factory-trained on Insinkerator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, and other major brands, including batch-feed and continuous-feed models. If the motor is burned out or the unit is over 10 years old and replacement is more cost-effective, we’ll provide upfront pricing on energy-efficient replacements and handle removal, installation, and haul-away in one appointment.
What simple maintenance steps can I take to prevent future clogs and odors?
Run cold water before, during, and 15 seconds after use to flush debris. Feed small amounts of food waste gradually and avoid fibrous items (celery, corn husks), grease, coffee grounds, eggshell membranes, and expandable starches like pasta or rice. Once a month, grind a tray of ice cubes with a handful of rock salt to scour the grind chamber, then freshen with lemon peels and a splash of mild dish soap.
Are your garbage-disposal repairs guaranteed, and how much will they cost?
All work is performed by fully licensed and insured plumbers and backed by a 12-month parts and labor warranty. Service call and diagnostic fee is waived with repair. Typical fixes—clearing jams, replacing a flange, or wiring a new switch—range from $95 to $225. Motor or chamber replacement averages $275–$450, while full unit installation runs $450–$650 including the new disposal. You’ll receive a firm, written quote before we start, with no hidden fees.
