FAQs

What are the common signs that my garbage disposal in Luttrell needs repair?

Some common signs include unusual noises such as grinding or humming without spinning, unpleasant odors coming from the disposal, leakage from the unit, or the appliance failing to turn on. If you notice any of these issues, it may be time to have your garbage disposal inspected and repaired.

How can I tell if the problem is with the garbage disposal motor or a jammed component?

If your disposal is humming at high volume without actually grinding food, this could indicate a jam or a seized motor. You can try using a hex wrench (often provided with the unit) to manually turn the disposal’s motor from the bottom of the unit. If it doesn’t budge or if the problem persists, professional repair is recommended.

Why is my garbage disposal leaking and what can I do about it?

Leaks can be caused by issues such as worn out seals, loose connections, or cracks in the unit. It’s important to inspect the connections under the sink and around the motor housing. However, if you’re not comfortable handling the problem yourself or if the leak persists, contacting a professional plumber is the safest option to avoid further damage.

Are there any routine maintenance steps I can take to prolong the life of my garbage disposal?

Yes, routine maintenance can help extend your disposal’s life. Regularly clean the unit by running cold water while using ice cubes and a bit of rock salt to help clean the blades. Avoid putting hard or fibrous materials down the disposal and run water frequently to prevent clogs and buildup, ensuring smooth operation over time.

How long does it typically take to repair a garbage disposal in Luttrell?

The duration of repairs can vary based on the issue. Minor jams or seal replacements can be fixed within an hour, while more extensive motor or internal component repairs may take longer. A professional plumber will provide an estimated time after diagnosing the problem.

What should I expect in terms of cost for garbage disposal repairs in Luttrell?

Cost depends on the nature of the repair. Small fixes such as clearing a jam or replacing a seal usually incur a lower charge, while motor repairs or complete unit replacement can be more expensive. It’s best to call a licensed plumber for an assessment and detailed quote to ensure transparency and proper service.

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

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.
