FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Persistent clogs, loud grinding or metal-on-metal noises, frequent resets, water leaking from the bottom, and a unit that hums but will not spin are all indicators that the internal motor, flywheel, or seals may be failing. If you experience any of these symptoms, switch the disposal off immediately and call Cutting-Edge Parts Plumbing. Continuing to run a damaged unit can trip breakers, flood the cabinet, or burn out the motor, making a simple repair far more expensive.
Do you service every make and model of garbage disposal in Whitwell?
Yes. Our Whitwell-based technicians stock OEM and high-quality aftermarket parts for InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, and many other brands. Because we carry replacement splash guards, impellers, gaskets, and motors on our trucks, most repairs can be completed in a single visit, regardless of the unit’s age or horsepower rating.
How fast can your team respond if my disposal stops working suddenly?
We offer same-day service throughout Whitwell and the surrounding communities. Calls received before 2:00 p.m. are usually scheduled within a 2-hour arrival window, and after-hours or weekend emergencies are handled by our on-call plumber. With GPS-dispatched vans stationed locally, average doorstep time is 45 minutes, so you can restore your kitchen sink before further damage occurs.
Is it cheaper to repair my garbage disposal or should I replace it altogether?
In many cases a repair—such as swapping a worn splash guard, re-seating the flange, or replacing a jammed rotor—costs less than 40% of a new installation. We always perform a diagnostic first and present a written estimate comparing repair versus replacement. If your unit is over 10 years old, has severe corrosion, or a burnt motor, we may recommend replacement to save you money in the long run. The final decision is always yours.
What should I do while waiting for the plumber if the disposal is jammed or smells like something is burning?
Turn off the wall switch, unplug the unit under the sink, and avoid sticking your hand inside the chamber. Do not pour chemical drain cleaners—these can damage the rubber seals and void the warranty. If water is leaking, place a bowl under the disposal and shut off the sink’s shutoff valves. These simple steps keep you safe and make the eventual repair quicker and cleaner.
How can I maintain my garbage disposal after it has been repaired?
Run cold water for 15 seconds before and after every use, feed food scraps slowly rather than dumping large loads, and avoid fibrous items like celery, corn husks, and potato peels. Once a month grind a few ice cubes and citrus peels to sharpen the impellers and freshen the chamber. Cutting-Edge Parts Plumbing also offers an annual inspection plan for Whitwell homeowners that includes a full disposal check-up, drain line flushing, and tightening of all mounting bolts.
