FAQs
What problems with a garbage disposal are considered an after-hours plumbing emergency?
Anything that threatens flooding, electrical hazards, or complete kitchen shutdown is an emergency. Examples include a disposal leaking heavily under the sink, a seized motor that trips the breaker repeatedly, blades jammed with glass or metal causing smoke or burning odors, and clogs that back wastewater into the sink. These situations can damage cabinets and flooring, create health risks, and prevent you from using the kitchen until the unit is fixed.
How fast can your technician get to my Speedwell home when I call after normal business hours?
We maintain a rotating on-call team dedicated to Speedwell and nearby communities. In most cases we can be at your door within 60–90 minutes of your call. When severe weather or traffic delays are possible, our dispatcher will give you an honest ETA and keep you updated by text or phone until your plumber arrives.
What should I do while I wait for the emergency plumber to arrive?
1) Turn off the disposal switch and, if water is leaking or the unit is smoking, switch off the circuit breaker to the sink area. 2) Avoid putting your hand down the disposal. 3) Place a bowl or bucket under any cabinet leaks and wipe up standing water to protect floors. 4) Do not use chemical drain cleaners—they can corrode seals and spray back when we disassemble the unit. 5) Clear a path to the sink so the technician can work quickly.
Do after-hours garbage disposal repairs cost more?
Because technicians, parts suppliers, and dispatch staff must be compensated at premium rates outside normal hours, an after-hours service fee is added to your invoice. We disclose that fee when you call, and we still provide flat-rate pricing for the actual repair work so there are no surprises. If you choose to wait until regular hours, we can schedule you first thing the next business day at no surcharge.
Can you repair any make or model of garbage disposal, or will I need to find the exact brand specialist?
Our plumbers stock common replacement parts and universal components that fit the majority of disposals from InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, GE, and more. We also carry specialty wrenches and reset tools that work on less common brands. If a proprietary part is needed, we can often perform a temporary fix to keep your sink usable until the correct component arrives.
What happens if my disposal is beyond repair during the emergency visit?
If the motor is burned out, the housing is cracked, or repair costs exceed 50% of a new unit, we’ll recommend replacement. We carry several compact and high-horsepower disposals on the truck and can install one immediately, usually in under an hour. You’ll receive warranty paperwork, disposal care tips, and disposal of the old unit at no extra charge beyond the quoted installation price.
