FAQs

What are common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?

Common signs include unusual noises, frequent clogs, leaks below the unit, poor drainage, and foul odors. If the unit won't turn on or it's triggering the circuit breaker, those are also key indicators of a problem.

Can I attempt to fix the garbage disposal myself?

While minor issues like a simple reset or clearing a jam can be handled by homeowners, it's generally advisable to call a professional for more complex repairs. Attempting DIY fixes can lead to injury or worsen the problem if not done correctly.

How can I avoid common garbage disposal issues?

Preventive measures include running cold water while using the disposal, avoiding putting in hard items like bones or pits, not disposing of fibrous foods like celery, and avoiding grease and oily substances. Regular cleaning with a mixture of ice and citrus peels can also help maintain your disposal.

How long should a typical garbage disposal last?

The lifespan of a garbage disposal can vary, but typically it lasts between 8 to 15 years. Regular maintenance and proper use can significantly extend its life expectancy.

What should I do if my garbage disposal is leaking?

If your garbage disposal is leaking, first check for loose connections or damage to the unit. Tighten any loose screws and inspect the seal. If the source of the leak is unclear or persists, it’s best to contact a professional for a thorough inspection and repair.

How much does it typically cost to repair or replace a garbage disposal in Gatlinburg?

The cost can vary depending on the extent of the damage and the model of the disposal. Repairing a garbage disposal typically ranges from $70 to $200, while a full replacement may cost between $200 and $500, including labor. For a precise estimate, it's best to contact a local plumbing professional who can assess the situation.

Jorge and Steven were here today to install a new garbage disposal. They were very knowledgeable and did an excellent job. And, not only that...they had great personalities and we could tell they enjoyed their jobs. They are perfect examples that show us that Hep is a top-notch company made that way by their dedicated employees. I love the $7 prices and have already begun referring Hep to several of my neighbors. Keep up the good work! Don and Margo Peltz

Jorge Saldana is a professional and personable person! He took care of installing a new kitchen faucet for us and installing a new garbage disposal. We didn’t realize the disposal would need to be replaced yet we’re so glad he did. The disposal had been there since the house was built in 2004. It had stopped working . Jorge saw another issue we had under the kitchen sink. So thankful for his good assessment, knowledge and training.He replaced 2 emergency shut off valves that were also leaking . Because of a couple of things that popped up while assessing, he was here 3 days in a row for shorter periods of time because of my work schedule . While Working steadily, he educated me along the way in answering my questions about the process, fees, model numbers of new equipment etc. I’m very pleased with the work Jorge did! Thank you, HEP Cleveland for sending him our way.

Replaced grinder/sewage pump. BBUR and Jorge did a great job under terrible weather conditions. They were very courteous and professional. And the office notified me and replaced the pump again when they recognize that the supply house gave them the incorrect pump.
