FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?
Key indicators include humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit or under the sink, frequent tripped breakers, foul odors that won’t dissipate, and slow drainage even after clearing visible debris. If you notice any of these issues in your Soddy-Daisy home, it’s best to call Mystery Leaks Plumbing before further damage occurs.
Can a garbage disposal really cause a “mystery leak” under my sink?
Yes. Worn gaskets, cracked disposal housings, loose mounting assemblies, or deteriorated discharge tubes can allow water to escape only while the disposal is running—making the source of the leak hard to pinpoint. Our technicians perform dye tests and pressure checks to identify exactly where the leak originates and repair or replace the failed part.
Do you offer same-day garbage disposal repair service in Soddy-Daisy?
Absolutely. Mystery Leaks Plumbing keeps fully stocked service vehicles in the Soddy-Daisy area. Calls received before 2 p.m. are usually handled the same day, and emergency after-hours dispatch is available 24/7 for severe leaks or total disposal failure.
Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?
If your disposal is under eight years old and the issue is limited to clogs, seal replacements, or minor electrical faults, repair is often cost-effective. Units older than ten years, those with cracked housings, or motors that have burned out are better replaced. We provide an on-site assessment and a clear cost comparison so you can make an informed decision.
What maintenance tips help prevent leaks and extend the life of my disposal?
Run cold water before, during, and after grinding; avoid fibrous foods like celery or corn husks; cut large scraps into smaller pieces; never pour grease or oils down the drain; and periodically grind ice cubes with a citrus peel to clean the blades and deodorize. Annual checkups by a plumber can catch seal wear or mounting looseness early.
How much does garbage disposal repair cost, and do you provide upfront estimates?
Typical repairs in Soddy-Daisy range from $120 to $250, depending on parts and labor. Complex jobs such as motor replacement can run higher. Mystery Leaks Plumbing offers free written estimates after diagnosing the problem, and we honor that price—no hidden fees or unexpected add-ons.
