FAQs
What kinds of garbage disposal issues can you fix in a single visit?
Our fully stocked service vans carry the most common replacement parts, fittings, and tools, allowing us to resolve jammed impellers, seized motors, leaking flanges, bad seals, electrical reset problems, and chronic clogs during the first trip. Unless the unit is beyond repair or a specialty part must be factory-ordered, most disposals in Sewanee can be restored the same day.
How fast can you reach my home in Sewanee?
We’re based right here in Franklin County, so a licensed plumber is usually at your door within 60–90 minutes of your call—often faster for emergencies. We schedule two-hour arrival windows and send real-time text updates when the technician is en route so you never have to wait all day.
Will I need a full replacement, or can my disposal usually be repaired?
Around 70 % of the garbage disposals we inspect in Sewanee can be repaired cost-effectively. If the motor windings are burned out, the grinder plate is cracked, or the unit is over 12 years old, replacement is typically the better investment. Your plumber will test the electrical draw, inspect for leaks, and explain the findings so you can choose repair or replacement with confidence.
Is there anything I should do before the plumber arrives?
Yes—turn off the wall switch to the disposal, avoid running water into the sink, and remove any large food scraps you can safely reach. If the breaker has tripped, leave it off until we arrive. Clearing out cleaning supplies from under the sink gives the technician more room to work and speeds up the repair.
How much does a single-visit garbage disposal repair usually cost?
Most repairs in Sewanee range from $125 to $275, which includes the service call, diagnostic, labor, and standard replacement parts such as gaskets, splash guards, and reset buttons. You’ll receive a flat, up-front price before any work begins—no surprise fees or hourly add-ons.
Do you guarantee your garbage disposal repairs?
Absolutely. All workmanship is covered by a 1-year labor warranty, and replacement parts carry the manufacturer’s warranty (typically 1–5 years). If the same issue reappears within the covered period, we’ll return and fix it at no charge. Our goal is 100 % satisfaction on every single visit.
