FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Frequent jams, humming without grinding, persistent bad odors, water leaking from the unit or under the sink, and the need to constantly press the reset button all indicate that internal components—such as the flywheel, motor, or seals—may be worn, loose, or damaged. If these symptoms appear, shut off the unit and call our Reliance-based Licensed Pros Plumbing team to avoid further damage or safety hazards.
Can I reset or troubleshoot the garbage disposal myself before calling a plumber?
Yes—first, turn off power at the wall switch and the breaker. Use tongs or pliers (never your hands) to remove visible debris inside the chamber. Press the red reset button on the bottom of the unit, then restore power and test. If the unit still hums, trips the breaker, leaks, or fails to run, disconnect power again and contact us. For safety, never insert tools or hands while the disposal is powered.
How fast can Licensed Pros Plumbing reach my home in Reliance for disposal repairs?
We provide same-day service for most calls placed before 2 PM and 24/7 emergency response for active leaks or electrical hazards. Our dispatch center is located within the Reliance city limits, enabling an average arrival time of 60–90 minutes for urgent jobs and 2–4 hours for standard service windows.
Do your technicians carry the parts needed, or will a second visit be required?
Our service vans are stocked with the most common disposal motors, splash guards, flywheels, seals, and electrical cords for all major brands (InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King, GE, and more). In 85 % of service calls, we complete the repair in a single visit. If your unit requires a specialty part, we place an expedited order and schedule the follow-up at no additional trip-charge.
Is it more economical to repair or replace an older garbage disposal?
We generally recommend repair when the unit is less than eight years old and the fix costs under 50 % of the price of a new model. For disposals showing severe corrosion, repeated motor failures, or obsolete parts, replacement often saves money in the long run and provides better grinding power and noise reduction. Our technician will give you a clear cost-benefit estimate on-site so you can decide with confidence.
What maintenance tips can prevent future clogs and jams after the repair?
Run cold water before, during, and at least 20 seconds after each use to flush debris. Feed scraps gradually—avoiding fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), bones, coffee grounds, and grease. Once a month, grind a tray of ice cubes with a few citrus peels to clean the blades and reduce odors. Finally, periodically check for leaks and call us at the first sign of unusual noises or sluggish draining to catch problems early.
