FAQs
How can I tell if my garbage disposal needs professional repair or a full replacement?
Common warning signs include persistent clogs, loud grinding or humming without rotation, frequent resets, water leaking from the unit or the cabinet below, and foul odors that don’t go away after cleaning. If the motor has burned out or the grinding chamber is cracked, replacement is usually more cost-effective. Our Shelbyville plumbers will inspect the unit, explain the issue, and recommend repair or replacement based on age, condition, and overall cost.
Do you service all garbage disposal brands and models in Shelbyville?
Yes. Our licensed technicians are factory-trained to work on all major brands, including InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King, KitchenAid, GE, and Whirlpool, as well as less common or older models. We carry a large stock of OEM parts on our trucks, so most repairs can be completed in a single visit anywhere in the Shelbyville area.
What is the average cost for garbage disposal repair, and do you provide upfront pricing?
Minor repairs such as jam removal or switch replacement typically range from $95 to $150, while motor or flywheel repairs can range from $175 to $300. If a replacement is necessary, new units (installed) usually run $325 to $550 depending on horsepower and features. After a thorough diagnostic, we present a flat, written quote before any work begins, so you always know the exact cost—no hidden fees or overtime charges.
Do you offer same-day or emergency garbage disposal repair services?
Absolutely. We provide 24/7 emergency plumbing service throughout Shelbyville and surrounding communities. If your disposal is leaking, completely jammed, or causing a backed-up sink, call us anytime. In most cases, we can dispatch a technician within one hour, even on nights, weekends, and holidays, to minimize water damage and restore your kitchen’s functionality.
What should I do while waiting for the technician to arrive?
First, turn off the disposal and unplug it or switch off the circuit breaker to prevent accidental operation. Avoid using the sink to keep water from leaking into the cabinet. If you see active leaking, place a towel or small bucket under the unit to catch drips. Do not attempt to reach into the grinding chamber with your hand—use tongs or pliers if you must remove visible debris. Gather any warranty paperwork or model information you have; this can help the technician expedite the repair process.
