FAQs
How do I know if my garbage disposal needs repair or replacement?
Common warning signs include persistent clogs, loud grinding or humming noises, water leaks beneath the sink, frequent resets, and a unit that will not turn on at all. Our technician will inspect the disposal, motor, wiring, and drain line. If repairs cost more than 50% of the price of a comparable new unit or if the motor housing is cracked, we usually recommend replacement. Otherwise, we can replace worn seals, blades, or electrical components and have you up and running quickly.
What does your straightforward pricing include for a garbage disposal repair in Sharps Chapel?
Our up-front price covers the trip charge, diagnostic inspection, labor, and all standard parts such as gaskets, flanges, and electrical connectors. You’ll see the total before any work begins—no hidden fees, overtime add-ons, or after-hours surcharges. If the disposal must be replaced, we provide a fixed price for the new unit, installation, and haul-away of the old one so you can make an informed decision on the spot.
Can you repair all brands and models of garbage disposals?
Yes. Our plumbers are factory-trained on InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, and most other residential brands from 1/3-HP to 1-HP models. We carry a full stock of common parts on our service trucks, which allows us to finish over 90% of repairs in a single visit. If your model is older or discontinued, we can usually retrofit universal components or recommend a compatible replacement.
How quickly can your plumbers reach my home in Sharps Chapel for a disposal problem?
We offer same-day service Monday through Saturday for calls placed before 2 p.m. Our dispatch center is located in Union County, so a licensed technician can usually arrive at your door within 90 minutes. For after-hours emergencies—such as a disposal leak that is flooding cabinets—we provide 24/7 phone support and can schedule the first available morning appointment at no additional cost.
Do I need to shut off power or water before you arrive?
If the disposal is smoking, making a burning smell, or leaking rapidly, turn off the wall switch and, if possible, unplug the unit or switch off the breaker. For leaks, place a towel or bucket under the sink and avoid running the faucet. Otherwise, you can leave everything as is; our plumber will safely disconnect power and water lines during the diagnostic process.
What can I do to prevent future garbage disposal jams after your repair?
Run cold water both before and after operating the disposal, feed food scraps slowly, and avoid fibrous items like celery, corn husks, and onion skins. Never pour grease, fats, or expandable foods such as pasta and rice down the unit. About once a month, grind ice cubes and a small amount of rock salt to clean the blades, then follow with a slice of lemon for odor control. We’ll leave you with a written maintenance checklist specific to your model before we leave.
