FAQs

What are common signs that my garbage disposal needs repairs?

Common signs that your garbage disposal may need repair include unusual noises such as grinding or humming, water leaks under the sink, foul odors that don't go away after cleaning, frequent clogs, and the disposal failing to turn on or off. If you notice any of these issues, it's a good idea to have a professional plumber inspect your disposal.

Can I fix my garbage disposal myself?

While some minor issues can be fixed with DIY solutions, such as removing a clog with a hex wrench or resetting the disposal, more complex problems should be handled by a professional plumber. Attempting to fix serious issues yourself can lead to further damage or even injury. Always disconnect the power before attempting any DIY repairs.

How often should I have my garbage disposal inspected?

It's a good practice to have your garbage disposal inspected annually, or at the first sign of trouble. Regular maintenance can help prevent clogs, leaks, and other issues, extending the lifespan of your disposal and ensuring it operates efficiently.

What should I avoid putting in my garbage disposal to prevent damage?

To prevent damage, avoid putting hard items such as bones, nuts, and seeds, fibrous foods like celery and corn husks, grease and oil, coffee grounds, eggshells, and non-food items into your garbage disposal. These materials can cause clogs, dull the blades, or damage the motor.

How much does it typically cost to repair a garbage disposal in Karns?

The cost of repairing a garbage disposal in Karns typically ranges from $75 to $200, depending on the extent of the damage and the specific repairs needed. Minor repairs like unclogging or tightening connections can be on the lower end, while replacing parts or fixing leaks may be more expensive. It's best to get an estimate from a professional plumber for a precise cost.

What steps can I take to maintain my garbage disposal and extend its lifespan?

To maintain your garbage disposal and extend its lifespan, run cold water while using the disposal to prevent overheating, grind food waste in small batches, clean the disposal regularly with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar, and occasionally grind small, ice cubes to clean the blades. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners, as they can damage the disposal's components.

What our customers say

I had a sink disposal that was not working. HEP sent Colin out to look at the issue. Turns out it was a screw in the disposal and Colin found it and fixed it. Thank you!

Dakota Sweat was friendly, courteous and professional! He fixed my sink (by removing disposal per my request) in a timely manner and left area clean. He also gave me options for adding disposal back. I will definitely use Hep again in the future. B. Thomas

Jonathan helped fix our garbage disposal and found out that we needed to replace the switch. He was very quick and efficient. He was also very patient with my very interested 3.5 year old.

Just used HEP again for some electrical issues....Ric was great, informative and had a resolution to our issues quickly!!! Thanks Ric and HEP for another outstanding job...... I have used HEP pretty frequently this year for various jobs that I needed help with in a home I was selling and now in a new home recently purchased. HEP was on the way when I needed a repair for a leaky toilet, installation of a new range hood, installation of 2 garbage disposals for 2 kitchens, electrical outlets installed for the 2 garbage disposals, conversion of a fuse box to a circuit breaker and next week they will be coming to repair/replace my A/C unit. Why do I keep coming back to them? No doubt because HEP is on the way anytime I need them. Their techs are knowledgeable and just get the job done. I most definitely will keep using them in the future!
