FAQs
What types of garbage disposal problems can your background-checked technicians repair in Pikeville?
Our licensed and background-checked plumbers can diagnose and fix jammed or humming disposals, leaks from the sink flange or discharge tube, worn-out motor bearings, clogs in the grinding chamber, electrical or switch failures, and foul odors caused by accumulated food debris.
How quickly can you send a technician to my Pikeville home for garbage disposal repair?
In most cases we offer same-day service within Pikeville city limits if you call before noon. For after-hours requests, we provide next-morning scheduling. Appointment windows are usually two hours, and the technician will call or text 30 minutes before arrival so you’re never left waiting.
Are your plumbers insured and background checked?
Absolutely. Every technician who enters your home has passed a nationwide criminal background check, is drug-screened, and carries full liability and workers’ compensation insurance. We also require ongoing training and periodic re-screening to keep your family and property safe.
What will the garbage disposal repair cost?
We believe in upfront pricing. After inspecting the unit, the technician will explain the issue and present a flat-rate quote that covers parts, labor, and tax—no hidden fees. Simple fixes like jam removal start around $99, while motor replacements or full unit swaps range from $225 to $450, depending on horsepower and warranty level.
Should I repair or replace my old garbage disposal?
If your disposal is less than 8 years old and the motor isn’t burned out, a repair is usually cost-effective. However, if the unit frequently trips the reset button, leaks from multiple points, or the repair cost exceeds 50% of a new model, replacement is the smarter investment. Our technician will give you honest guidance and several options to fit your budget.
How can I prevent future garbage disposal issues after the repair?
Run cold water before, during, and 15 seconds after use, avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), grease, and coffee grounds, cut large scraps into small pieces, and refresh monthly with ice cubes and a citrus rind. We also offer an annual maintenance plan that includes a disposal tune-up, drain line inspection, and priority scheduling for any plumbing concern.
