FAQs
What kinds of garbage disposal problems can you fix in a single visit?
Our technicians can handle most common disposal issues—jams, humming motors, leaks, clogs, bad odors, and worn-out splash guards—during one appointment. Each truck carries replacement blades, seals, flanges, reset switches, and even complete 1/3- to 1-hp units, so we can repair or swap out the disposal on the spot without a follow-up visit.
Do you offer same-day garbage disposal repair throughout Philadelphia?
Yes. We have licensed plumbers stationed in Center City, South Philly, West Philly, the Northeast, and the Main Line. If you call before 2 p.m. Monday through Saturday, we can guarantee same-day service; after 2 p.m. we still cover most emergencies, but arrival windows may extend into the next morning.
How much will a single-visit disposal repair cost?
Our upfront pricing starts at $129 for minor fixes such as jam clearing or reset switch replacement. More involved repairs—motor replacement, leak correction, or a full unit swap—range from $189 to $389, parts and labor included. There are no separate trip fees inside the Philadelphia city limits; counties just outside the city add a $25 travel charge.
What should I do before the plumber arrives?
Turn off the wall switch that powers the disposal and, if possible, unplug the unit under the sink. Clear out cleaning supplies so the technician has room to work, and avoid running the dishwasher (it drains through the same plumbing). If water is leaking, place a towel or small bucket under the disposal to minimize cabinet damage.
Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?
We recommend replacement if the motor is burned out, the grinding chamber is cracked, or the unit is older than 10–12 years and needs multiple parts. For newer disposals with jams, leaks at the sink flange, or faulty wiring, a repair is faster and costs roughly half the price of a new installation. Our technician will present both options and their warranties on-site so you can decide.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured in Pennsylvania?
Absolutely. All of our field staff hold current Philadelphia Master Plumber licenses, carry $2 million in liability coverage, and undergo background checks and continuing education on the latest disposal models and local code requirements. You’ll receive the plumber’s name, license number, and proof of insurance in your confirmation email.
