FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Frequent clogs, loud grinding or rattling noises, persistent bad odors, water leaks under the sink, and a unit that hums but won’t grind all point to a malfunctioning disposal. If resetting the unit or clearing obvious jams doesn’t solve the problem, it’s best to call our licensed plumbers in Sevierville for a thorough diagnosis before more serious damage occurs.
Do you provide same-day or emergency garbage disposal repair in Sevierville?
Yes. Our team of licensed plumbers offers same-day and after-hours emergency service throughout Sevierville and the surrounding communities. If your garbage disposal has stopped working or is leaking and threatening water damage, call us anytime—nights, weekends, and even holidays—and we’ll dispatch a technician with the tools and parts needed to get you back up and running quickly.
Can you service any brand or model of garbage disposal?
Absolutely. Our plumbers are factory-trained to diagnose and repair all major garbage disposal brands, including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, and GE. We carry a wide inventory of replacement parts on our trucks, so most repairs can be completed in a single visit, regardless of the unit’s make, model, or horsepower rating.
How much does garbage disposal repair typically cost, and what factors affect the price?
Costs vary based on the complexity of the repair, the availability of replacement parts, and whether the service is scheduled or an emergency call-out. After inspecting your unit, we’ll provide a flat-rate, no-surprise quote that covers labor, parts, and a workmanship warranty. Simple fixes start around $100, while more involved repairs or motor replacements can range higher. We also waive the diagnostic fee when you approve the repair.
Is it better to repair or replace a failing garbage disposal?
If your disposal is under 8 years old and the repair involves minor parts—such as seals, switches, or wiring—a repair is usually the most economical choice. For units older than 10 years, those with frequent jams, or motors nearing failure, replacement often provides better long-term value and efficiency. Our licensed plumbers will outline both options so you can make an informed decision that fits your budget and household needs.
How can I keep my garbage disposal running smoothly after it’s been repaired?
Run cold water before, during, and after use to help flush food particles; avoid fibrous foods like celery or corn husks; feed waste gradually instead of all at once; and grind citrus peels occasionally to combat odors. Never pour grease or oil down the disposal. Scheduling an annual inspection with our Sevierville plumbing team ensures any developing issues are caught early, extending the life of your unit.
