FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
If you notice persistent clogs, loud grinding or metal-on-metal noises, water leaking from the unit or under the sink, frequent tripped breakers, or a disposal that hums but will not spin, it is time to call a professional. These symptoms may indicate worn bearings, jammed impellers, a seized motor, or cracked seals—issues that require a licensed plumber to diagnose and fix safely.
Are your plumbers licensed and familiar with Soddy-Daisy building codes?
Yes. Every technician on our team holds a current Tennessee state plumbing license and undergoes ongoing training in local Soddy-Daisy and Hamilton County plumbing codes. This ensures that any garbage disposal repair or replacement we perform meets or exceeds all safety and permitting requirements, protecting your home and your manufacturer’s warranty.
Can you service or replace any brand of garbage disposal?
Absolutely. We work on all major brands, including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, and Whirlpool, as well as less-common commercial or specialty units. If parts are obsolete, we’ll recommend compatible replacements and handle the swap-out, piping adjustments, and electrical hook-up so everything works seamlessly with your existing sink and drain configuration.
How much does garbage disposal repair typically cost in Soddy-Daisy?
Minor fixes such as jam removal or reset switch replacement usually range from $95–$150. Mid-level repairs—like replacing a leaking flange, worn splash guard, or cracked tailpiece—average $150–$275. If the motor or grinding chamber has failed, total replacement is often more cost-effective, with new units (including parts, labor, and haul-away) starting around $325 for standard models. We provide written, upfront estimates before any work begins.
What can I do while waiting for the plumber if my disposal suddenly stops working?
First, cut power to the unit at the wall switch and, if possible, the circuit breaker. Never put your hand inside the disposal. Confirm the reset button (a small red or black button on the bottom) is not tripped; press it once if it is. Use tongs or pliers—never fingers—to remove visible obstructions. Avoid chemical drain cleaners, as they can corrode gaskets and pipes. If these steps don’t restore function, leave the unit off and wait for our technician to arrive.
Can you upgrade my old disposal to a newer, quieter, or higher-capacity model?
Yes. Many Soddy-Daisy homeowners choose to upgrade to 3⁄4- or 1-horsepower units with sound insulation, stainless-steel grinding components, and multi-stage grinding systems that handle fibrous foods more effectively. We’ll help you select a disposal matched to your cooking habits, electrical circuit, and sink size, obtain any necessary permits, perform the installation, and dispose of the old unit responsibly—all in a single visit.
