FAQs
What signs indicate my garbage disposal needs professional repair instead of a DIY fix?
If the unit hums without grinding, trips the reset button repeatedly, leaks from the bottom, or emits a burning smell, it usually points to motor, bearing, or seal failure that requires a licensed plumber’s tools and expertise. Minor jams or clogs you can’t clear with a hex key or a plunger also warrant a service call, especially to avoid damaging the flywheel or grinding ring.
How quickly can Prompt Service Plumbing get to my Andersonville home?
Because our shop is on Clark Street, we dispatch technicians exclusively inside the 60640 and 60660 ZIP codes within 60–90 minutes for emergency calls made before 6 p.m. For non-urgent appointments booked online or by phone, we offer two-hour arrival windows Monday–Saturday and text you en route so you’re not waiting all day.
What does a typical garbage disposal repair cost in Andersonville?
Most repairs fall between $145 and $275, which includes diagnostic time, labor, and common parts such as splash guards or reset switches. If the motor is burned out or the grind plate is cracked, replacement units range from $285 to $525 installed, depending on horsepower and noise-reduction options. All prices are quoted up front after diagnosis—no hidden fees or trip charges within Andersonville.
Can you repair any brand or model of garbage disposal?
Yes. Our technicians carry OEM and universal parts for InSinkErator, KitchenAid, Moen, Waste King, GE, and other major brands. Even if your unit is discontinued, we can often retrofit compatible components or advise on the most economical replacement. All repairs come with a one-year parts and labor warranty from Prompt Service Plumbing.
Should I repair or replace an aging disposal that still works but jams often?
If your disposer is more than 8–10 years old, under 1⁄2 HP, or prone to frequent jams despite proper use, replacement is usually more cost-effective. Newer models grind finer, run quieter, and have stainless steel chambers that resist corrosion. We provide side-by-side estimates so you can compare the repair cost versus installing an energy-efficient upgrade.
Is there anything I should do before the plumber arrives?
Turn off the wall switch, unplug the unit or flip the circuit breaker for safety, and clear the area under the sink so the technician can access the disposal and plumbing connections. Avoid sticking tools or hands inside the chamber—this can bend the impellers or void warranties. If water is leaking, place a shallow pan or towels beneath the unit to minimize cabinet damage until we arrive.
