FAQs
What are the most common signs my garbage disposal needs repair or replacement parts?
Watch for humming without grinding, frequent resets, water leaking from the unit or sink flange, persistent odors, and slow drainage. Any of these symptoms usually indicate worn-out blades, a failed motor, a cracked housing, or a deteriorated gasket—all of which can be fixed with the proper replacement parts or a complete unit repair.
Can I still use my dishwasher if the garbage disposal is malfunctioning?
In most Sequatchie homes, the dishwasher drains through the disposal. If the disposal is jammed or leaking, operating the dishwasher can force water and food debris back into the sink or under the cabinet. We recommend pausing dishwasher use until we diagnose the disposal and install any needed replacement parts to restore safe drainage.
How much does garbage disposal repair typically cost in Sequatchie?
Minor fixes such as replacing a splash guard or jam-clearing usually run $85–$125. Mid-level repairs that involve a new hopper, flywheel, or wiring range from $150–$225. Full motor or chamber replacement, or installing a new disposal, can cost $250–$450 including parts and labor. We always provide a written estimate before work begins.
Do you offer same-day garbage disposal service in Sequatchie?
Yes. Calls received before 2 p.m. Monday–Friday are usually handled the same day. We keep a stock of the most requested replacement parts—seals, flanges, impellers, and motors—on our service trucks so we can complete most repairs in a single visit.
Is it better to repair or replace an older garbage disposal?
If your unit is under 7–8 years old and the damage is limited to replaceable parts (gaskets, grinding plate, reset switch, etc.), repair is usually more cost-effective. For disposals older than 10 years, with multiple issues such as motor burnout or severe corrosion, replacement often provides better long-term value and improved energy efficiency.
What brands and models of garbage disposals can you service?
Our licensed plumbers service and stock replacement parts for InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, Whirlaway, and other major brands in both 1/3-hp and 1-hp sizes. Even if your model is discontinued, we can often source OEM or compatible aftermarket parts to extend its life.
