FAQs
Why do your plumbers wear shoe covers during a garbage disposal repair visit?
Respect for your home is one of our core values. Our technicians slip on disposable, non-marking shoe covers before stepping inside to ensure mud, dirt, or grease from the job site never reaches your floors or carpets. The covers are changed if they become soiled, and they are disposed of responsibly after the service call, leaving your home as clean as—or cleaner than—when we arrived.
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Warning signals include persistent clogs, humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit or under the sink, foul odors that cleaning tablets can’t remove, frequent resets, and tripped circuit breakers. If you experience any of these issues, shutting off the power and contacting a licensed plumber prevents further damage and keeps you safe from electrical and plumbing hazards.
Do you offer same-day garbage disposal repair in Pikeville?
Yes. Calls received before 2:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday are usually accommodated the same day. Our dispatch team confirms availability, provides a two-hour arrival window, and sends a text message when your shoe-cover-equipped plumber is en route. Emergency evening and Sunday service is also available for an additional fee.
How much does it cost to repair a garbage disposal in Pikeville?
Most repairs fall between $125 and $275, depending on the issue, the age of the unit, and whether replacement parts are required. After a diagnostic inspection, your plumber will present a flat-rate, upfront price so you know the total before any work begins. If the disposal is beyond economical repair, the technician will quote replacement options and credit the diagnostic fee toward a new unit installation.
Can you service all brands and models of garbage disposals?
Absolutely. Our plumbers stock OEM and universal parts for major brands such as InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, and GE. For older or discontinued models, we can often source aftermarket parts or recommend a compatible replacement. All workmanship is backed by a one-year labor warranty.
What maintenance tips do you recommend after my disposal is repaired?
Run cold water before, during, and 15 seconds after grinding; feed food waste gradually; avoid fibrous items (corn husks, celery), grease, and expandable foods like pasta; refresh monthly with a half-cup of ice cubes and citrus peels; and schedule a professional inspection every two years. Following these practices prolongs the life of your newly serviced disposal and keeps your plumbing in top shape.
