FAQs
What is included in a scheduled garbage disposal tune-up and repair visit?
Our Speedwell technicians perform a full system inspection, sharpen and clean the grinding components, check electrical connections, clear minor clogs, test for leaks, deodorize the unit, and verify proper motor amperage. If we find worn parts—such as splash guards, flywheels, or seals—we either adjust them on-site or recommend replacement to prevent future breakdowns.
How often should I schedule a garbage disposal tune-up?
For most households, an annual tune-up is sufficient to keep the disposal running smoothly and extend its lifespan. Homes that cook frequently, routinely grind fibrous foods, or host short-term rentals benefit from service every six months. Regular tune-ups catch small issues early and help you avoid emergency repairs.
What are the signs my garbage disposal needs professional attention?
Common red flags include persistent odors even after cleaning, water leaking from the unit or sink flange, unusual grinding noises, slow drainage, frequent resets, or the disposal refusing to start. If you notice any of these issues, schedule a service call before the problem worsens and damages connected plumbing.
Can you repair all brands and models of garbage disposals sold in Speedwell?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers carry parts for—and are factory-trained on—popular brands such as InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, GE, and KitchenAid. For less common or discontinued models, we can typically source compatible parts within 24–48 hours through our supplier network, or recommend cost-effective replacement options if repair is no longer practical.
How long does a typical tune-up or repair take, and will I lose kitchen access?
A standard tune-up lasts 45–60 minutes. Minor repairs, like replacing a gasket or unjamming the flywheel, add about 20 minutes. Extensive repairs that require motor or chamber replacement may take up to two hours. You can still use your sink for non-disposal tasks once we isolate the drain, so kitchen downtime is minimal.
What does a scheduled tune-up cost and are there any warranties?
Our flat-rate tune-up fee in Speedwell is $89, which includes inspection, cleaning, and basic adjustments. Replacement parts and major repairs are quoted up-front before work begins. All labor is backed by a 90-day workmanship warranty, and new parts carry the manufacturer’s warranty—typically one year or more.
