FAQs
What are the most common signs my garbage disposal in Andersonville needs professional repair?
The main red flags are persistent clogs that DIY methods can’t clear, humming but no grinding when you flip the switch, slow drainage accompanied by foul odors, visible leaks under the sink, or the unit tripping your circuit breaker repeatedly. Any of these usually indicate a failing motor, jammed flywheel, worn-out seals, or electrical issues that require a licensed plumber’s attention.
How much does garbage disposal repair typically cost in the Andersonville area?
Most minor repairs—such as unjamming the flywheel, replacing a splash guard, or tightening loose plumbing connections—range from $125 to $200. Replacing worn gaskets, cracked housings, or damaged wiring can run $200 to $350. If the unit’s motor is burned out and a full replacement is needed, expect $350 to $550 for a standard 1/2- to 3/4-horsepower model installed. We always provide a written estimate before any work begins.
Can I fix a jammed disposal myself, or should I call a professional?
You can try a few safe DIY steps: turn off the power, insert the supplied Allen wrench into the bottom hex hole, and rotate it to free the impellers. Never reach inside with your hand. If the Allen wrench won’t budge or the unit still hums afterward, shut off the breaker and call a qualified plumber. Forcing the jam can overheat the motor or damage the flywheel, leading to more expensive repairs.
Do you offer same-day garbage disposal repair in Andersonville?
Yes. Because garbage disposal problems can quickly disrupt kitchen use, we keep dedicated local technicians on call for same-day appointments, typically arriving within a 2-hour window. Emergency evening and weekend service is also available for an additional fee, and all vans are stocked with common replacement parts to finish most repairs on the first visit.
Is it better to repair or replace an older garbage disposal?
If your unit is 8–12 years old, frequently jams, leaks, or requires a motor replacement, a new disposal is usually more cost-effective and energy-efficient. Newer models grind food more quietly, handle tougher scraps, and include improved safety features. We’ll evaluate the unit’s age, horsepower, and repair cost versus replacement cost and give you an honest recommendation.
Will a new garbage disposal fit my existing sink and plumbing setup?
Generally, yes. Most modern disposals follow the same 3-bolt or EZ-mount configuration, so they fit standard sink drains. During installation we verify cabinet clearance, discharge height for the P-trap, and dishwasher drain connections. If your current setup is non-standard, we can adapt it with the right flange, plumbing fittings, or electrical upgrades to ensure a secure, code-compliant installation.
