FAQs
What kinds of garbage-disposal problems count as an after-hours plumbing emergency?
Any issue that stops you from using the kitchen sink safely or threatens water damage is considered an emergency. Examples include a disposal that is actively leaking under the sink, humming or smoking while switched on, has jammed so badly that sink water will not drain, or has tripped the breaker and left exposed wiring. If the problem can’t wait until morning without risking further damage or sanitation concerns, call us right away.
How fast can your technician reach my home in Sparta after I call at night or on a weekend?
We have a 24/7 on-call team dedicated to the Sparta area. In most neighborhoods we arrive within 60–90 minutes, often sooner. When you call, our dispatcher gives you a real-time ETA and tracks the technician’s location so you know exactly when help will arrive.
Is there anything I should do while waiting for the plumber to fix my disposal?
Yes. First, shut off the wall switch and, if you can safely reach it, unplug or turn off the circuit breaker that feeds the disposal to avoid accidental starts. Do not stick tools or your hand into the unit. If water is leaking, place a bucket or towels under the sink and turn off the faucet to minimize damage. Keep children and pets away from the area until the technician arrives.
Do after-hours garbage disposal repairs cost more than regular daytime service?
Because we staff licensed plumbers overnight, there is a modest emergency service fee added to our standard diagnostic charge. Once we inspect the unit, we give you a flat, upfront repair price—no surprise labor add-ons later. If you approve the quote, the emergency call-out fee is credited toward the repair, so you only pay for one service visit.
Can you service any brand or model of garbage disposal during an emergency call?
Yes. Our trucks carry replacement parts and specialty tools for virtually every major brand, including InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King, GE, and KitchenAid. We also stock universal jam wrenches, reset switches, and splash guards, allowing us to fix most disposals in a single visit, even after hours.
What happens if my disposal is beyond repair—can you replace it on the spot at night?
If the motor is burned out, the grinding plate is fractured, or the unit is over 10–12 years old, replacement is often the most cost-effective option. Our emergency technicians carry several popular 1/2-hp and 3/4-hp disposals on the truck. With your approval we can remove the old unit, install a new one, test for leaks, and haul the old disposal away—all in the same after-hours visit.
