FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?
Frequent jams, humming without grinding, water leaking from the bottom or side, foul odors that won’t disappear, and repeated tripped circuit breakers are all indicators something is wrong. If any of these symptoms appear, shut off the unit and call our Benton plumbing team before further damage occurs.
Can I fix a jammed garbage disposal myself, or should I call a professional?
You can safely try two DIY steps: 1) Turn off the disposal’s power at the breaker, 2) Insert a 1⁄4-inch Allen wrench into the bottom flywheel hole and rotate to free debris. If the unit still hums or trips the reset button afterward, stop troubleshooting and call a licensed plumber. For electrical faults, leaks, or blade replacement, professional repair is strongly recommended to avoid injury and voided warranties.
How quickly can your Benton plumbers repair my garbage disposal once I schedule service?
We offer same-day service for most Benton addresses booked before noon and next-day service for late requests. Emergency calls (severe leaks or electrical hazards) receive priority dispatch, often within 60–90 minutes. Standard repairs are usually completed in a single visit because our trucks are stocked with common parts like splash guards, gaskets, and switches.
Do you offer any maintenance advice to extend the life of my disposal after it’s repaired?
Absolutely. We’ll show you proper cold-water usage, recommend grinding small ice cubes with citrus peels monthly to clean the chamber, and provide a list of items never to put down the disposal (fibrous vegetables, grease, coffee grounds, bones). We also offer an optional annual inspection plan where we check mounting assemblies, electrical connections, and drain lines to keep everything running smoothly.
My garbage disposal is an older model. Can you still find replacement parts, or will I need a new unit?
In many cases we can source OEM or compatible aftermarket parts for models up to 15 years old. We partner with regional suppliers that stock discontinued blades, splash guards, and flanges. If the motor or grinding chamber is cracked, however, replacement is usually more cost-effective. We’ll give you a transparent price comparison on repair vs. new installation before any work begins.
How much does garbage disposal repair typically cost in Benton, and what payment options do you accept?
Minor fixes such as unjamming or replacing a splash guard start around $99. Mid-level repairs—leak sealing, flange or switch replacement—average $150–$250. Full motor or chamber overhauls range from $300–$400; beyond that, a new unit may be advised. We provide up-front, flat-rate quotes and accept cash, major credit cards, debit, and Benton utility-bill financing for qualified homeowners.
