FAQs
Which garbage disposal brands do you service in Philadelphia?
Our technicians regularly repair and maintain all of the leading disposal brands found in Philadelphia homes and businesses, including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, Whirlpool, Kenmore, and Badger. Because we stock factory-authorized parts for these major manufacturers on our service trucks, most repairs can be completed in a single visit.
Do you provide same-day garbage disposal repair in Philadelphia?
Yes. Calls received before 2 p.m. qualify for same-day service anywhere within the Philadelphia city limits and surrounding suburbs (Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware, and Chester counties). Our 24/7 dispatch system lets you track your technician’s arrival in real time, and there is no extra fee for evening or weekend appointments.
How can I tell if my garbage disposal needs repair rather than replacement?
We recommend repair when the unit is under 10 years old and the issue is limited to clogs, leaks at the flange, jammed flywheels, worn splash guards, or a tripped reset button. Replacement is usually more cost-effective if the motor has seized, the grinding chamber is cracked, or rust has compromised the housing. During our diagnostic visit we will measure amperage draw, inspect seals and bearings, and give you an honest repair-vs-replace recommendation before any work begins.
What are the most common causes of garbage disposal jams or leaks?
In Philadelphia’s older row homes, outdated drain lines and hard water buildup are frequent culprits. Citywide, the leading causes are: (1) fibrous foods like celery or corn husks wrapping around the impellers; (2) grease solidifying in the grind chamber; (3) foreign objects—utensils, bottle caps, or glass—falling into the unit; and (4) worn gaskets or loose sink flanges. Regular flushing with cold water and occasional ice-cube cleaning can minimize many of these problems.
How much does garbage disposal repair cost and will I get an upfront estimate?
Typical repairs in the Philadelphia market range from $135 for minor jam clearing or reset issues to about $350 for motor or seal replacement, parts and labor included. We provide a written, flat-rate estimate after our diagnostic inspection, so you know the exact cost before we start. There are no hidden fees for travel, parking, or disposal of old parts.
Are your garbage disposal repairs guaranteed and are you licensed and insured?
Absolutely. We are fully licensed by the City of Philadelphia (License #PLM-xxxxx) and carry $2 million in liability insurance. All parts and labor are backed by a one-year warranty. If the same problem recurs within that period, we will return and fix it at no charge. For new disposal installations, manufacturer warranties of 3–10 years also apply, and we handle the registration paperwork for you.
