FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal or connected drain line needs professional repair?
The red flags include persistent humming without grinding, water backing up into the sink, foul odors that don’t go away after cleaning, visible leaks under the sink cabinet, and frequent tripping of the unit’s reset button or the household circuit breaker. Any of these symptoms indicate that the grinding chamber, motor, or drain line may be jammed, worn, or clogged and should be evaluated by a licensed Thorn Hill plumber before further damage occurs.
Do you service both the garbage disposal and the kitchen drain line in the same appointment?
Yes. Our Thorn Hill technicians come prepared to address the entire drainage system in one visit. We’ll inspect the disposal, the P-trap, and the main kitchen drain branch with video or manual methods. If we find a clog farther down the line, we can clear it with a cable snake or hydro-jetting on the spot, saving you an extra trip charge and ensuring the whole system runs smoothly.
My disposal suddenly stopped working. What steps should I take before calling you?
First, switch the unit off to prevent motor damage. Press the small red reset button on the bottom of the unit; if it was overheated, this may restore power. Check that the wall switch and the breaker in your electrical panel are both on. Never put your hand inside the disposal—use a wooden spoon or disposal wrench to try rotating the impellers. If it still won’t run or only hums, turn off the circuit breaker and contact our Thorn Hill office; continued attempts can burn out the motor or flood the drain line.
How much does garbage disposal repair cost in Thorn Hill?
Most minor repairs such as jam removal or seal replacement range from $120–$180, including parts and labour. More complex jobs—replacing the motor, the grinding plate, or clearing a major drain obstruction—can run $250–$450. We provide upfront, written estimates after a diagnostic check, and our flat-rate pricing includes travel, disposal of old parts, and a 90-day workmanship guarantee.
How fast can you respond to a garbage disposal or drain emergency in Thorn Hill?
For calls received before 4 p.m., we offer same-day service Monday through Saturday, with a 60- to 90-minute arrival window. After-hours or Sunday emergencies are handled by our on-call plumber and usually reached within two hours. Because we’re based in Thorn Hill, our fully stocked service vans rarely need a return trip for parts, so most disposals are back in service the same day.
Can you install a new or upgraded garbage disposal, and do you handle permits in Thorn Hill?
Absolutely. If your existing unit is beyond repair or you want a higher-horsepower model, we’ll help you choose a disposal that matches your sink configuration, household usage, and Thorn Hill by-laws for noise and grease management. Our team disconnects and removes the old unit, adapts plumbing and electrical connections as required, and files any necessary permits with the City of Vaughan. New installations are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty plus our own one-year labour warranty.
