FAQs
What kinds of garbage-disposal issues can you repair the same day in Whitwell?
Our licensed plumbers can tackle almost any disposal issue during the initial visit, including jammed or stuck flywheels, humming but non-spinning motors, leaks at the sink flange or dishwasher inlet, worn splash guards, clogged drain lines, tripped reset buttons, and units that have completely stopped working. We carry universal parts, seals, and electrical components on the truck so most disposals—regardless of brand—can be repaired on the spot.
How fast can a technician get to my Whitwell home for a garbage-disposal repair?
Because we reserve dedicated service windows for Whitwell residents, calls booked before 2:00 p.m. qualify for arrival within 60–90 minutes. After-hours and weekend requests are dispatched as emergency service, usually within two hours. You’ll receive a real-time text message with your plumber’s name, photo, and GPS-tracked ETA so you’re never left guessing when help will arrive.
Do I need to supply replacement parts or a new disposal unit?
No. Our service vehicles carry factory-approved parts—gaskets, splash guards, flanges, wiring harnesses, and even complete 1⁄2-hp and 3⁄4-hp disposal units. If your existing model is beyond repair, we can install a new disposal during the same visit. All components meet local Whitwell plumbing and electrical codes, and every replacement unit comes with a manufacturer’s warranty plus our own one-year labor guarantee.
Is it more cost-effective to repair or replace a disposal that frequently jams or hums?
A disposal that jams more than once a month, trips the breaker, or leaks from the lower housing usually signals worn bearings or a failing motor. In that case, replacement saves money long-term because repeated service calls can quickly exceed the price of a new unit. However, if the issue is limited to a simple obstruction, dull shredder plate, or faulty wall switch, a targeted repair is the better value. Our technician will diagnose the problem free of charge and present side-by-side repair-vs-replace pricing before any work begins.
How much will my garbage-disposal repair cost, and do you offer upfront pricing?
Yes. After inspecting the unit, your plumber will quote a flat-rate price that includes labor, parts, and disposal of old components—no hourly surprises. Basic repairs such as clearing a jam or replacing a splash guard start around $139. Motor, bearing, or electrical repairs generally run $185–$275. If a full replacement is needed, prices start at $349 installed. Seniors, veterans, and Whitwell city employees receive a 10 % discount.
What steps can I take to keep my disposal running smoothly after the repair?
Run cold water before, during, and 15 seconds after using the disposal; cold water keeps grease solid so it can be ground and flushed away. Feed scraps gradually—never dump a full plate at once—and avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), expandable starches (rice, pasta), and coffee grounds. Once a month grind a tray of ice cubes with a cup of rock salt to scour the grind ring, then rinse with a half cup of baking soda followed by a cup of white vinegar to neutralize odors. If you have hard water in Whitwell, consider installing a scale filter to reduce mineral buildup on the shredder assembly.
