FAQs
What are the most common signs my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
If your unit is humming without grinding, shuts off frequently, leaks from the bottom, emits persistent odors, or trips your breaker, it likely needs professional attention. These symptoms point to issues such as jammed flywheels, worn seals, motor failure, or electrical problems that our licensed Sequatchie technicians can diagnose and fix safely.
Are your plumbers in Sequatchie County licensed to work on garbage disposals?
Yes. Every technician on our team holds a current Tennessee plumbing license and is factory-trained on major garbage disposal brands. We follow all local Sequatchie County codes and carry full liability insurance, so you can be confident repairs are performed safely and to code.
How much does garbage disposal repair typically cost, and do you offer upfront pricing?
Minor repairs like unjamming or resetting the disposal usually start around $95, while more complex fixes such as seal replacement or motor repair average $150–$250. After an on-site inspection, we provide a flat, upfront quote before any work begins—no hidden fees, and the diagnostic fee is waived if you proceed with the repair.
Can you repair any brand or model, or will I need to replace the unit?
Our technicians service all major brands—InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, GE, and more. We stock common parts on our trucks, enabling same-day repairs for most models. If your disposal is over 10–12 years old or has a burned-out motor, replacement may be more cost-effective; we’ll explain your options and install a new unit only if you choose to replace.
How quickly can your team reach my home in Sequatchie for an emergency disposal issue?
We offer 24/7 emergency service across Sequatchie County, including Dunlap, Cartwright, and Cagle. Most calls are answered within 60–90 minutes. For non-emergencies, we schedule convenient two-hour arrival windows and call when we’re 30 minutes away so you’re never left waiting all day.
What can I do to prevent future garbage disposal clogs and breakdowns?
Run cold water before and after use, feed food scraps slowly, and avoid fibrous items (celery, corn husks), grease, coffee grounds, and expandable foods like pasta or rice. Monthly maintenance with ice cubes and a small citrus peel helps clean the grinding chamber and control odors. A quick reset at the base and occasional Allen-wrench manual rotation (with power off) can clear minor jams—just call us if the unit still struggles.
