FAQs
How do I know my garbage disposal needs professional repair instead of a simple reset?
Common signs include persistent humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit or under the sink, repeated tripping of the reset button or circuit breaker, foul odors that won’t go away after cleaning, and blades that won’t turn even after you’ve tried a manual jam-buster tool. If any of these occur, especially in combination, it’s time to call our licensed Shelbyville plumbers to diagnose and fix the underlying electrical or mechanical problem safely.
Are your Shelbyville plumbers licensed, insured, and trained to work on all major garbage disposal brands?
Yes. Every technician on our team holds a current Tennessee journeyman or master plumbing license, carries full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and receives factory-authorized training on InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King, GE, KitchenAid, and other leading disposals. This ensures your repair is code-compliant, protected, and completed with brand-specific parts that maintain your manufacturer’s warranty.
Can you provide same-day or emergency garbage disposal repair in Shelbyville?
Absolutely. We maintain fully stocked service vans within Shelby County so a licensed plumber can usually arrive at your door in 60–90 minutes for emergencies such as sink backups, severe leaks, or units that trip GFCI outlets. For non-urgent repairs, we offer convenient two-hour appointment windows Monday through Saturday at no additional cost.
What does a typical garbage disposal repair cost and will I get a written estimate first?
Most disposal repairs in Shelbyville range from $120 to $275 depending on parts and labor. Before any work begins, your plumber will inspect the unit, explain the issue, and provide a flat-rate, itemized quote in writing. We honor that price—no hidden fees for travel, overtime, or disposal of old parts. If replacement is more economical than repair, we’ll explain your options and credit the diagnostic fee toward a new unit install.
Is there anything I can try before calling a plumber for my garbage disposal problem?
Yes—first, turn off the power at the wall switch and the circuit breaker. Use the supplied Allen key (or a 1⁄4-inch hex wrench) in the bottom flywheel slot to manually free jams, then press the red reset button on the underside. Run cold water and turn the power back on. If the unit still hums, leaks, or trips breakers, stop immediately to avoid motor burnout or electrical shock and schedule professional service.
Do you guarantee your garbage disposal repairs and what kind of warranty do you offer?
We stand behind every repair with a two-year parts and labor warranty—double the industry standard. If the same component we replaced fails within 24 months, we will return at no charge to correct it. All new disposals we install include the manufacturer’s warranty (typically 5–10 years) plus our own one-year workmanship guarantee for added peace of mind.
