FAQs
What areas around Benton do you service for garbage disposal repair?
Our licensed plumbers serve all of Benton, including neighborhoods such as Downtown Benton, Hurricane Lake Estates, Bryant, Haskell, and surrounding Saline County communities. If you’re within a 25-mile radius of Benton, chances are we can get a technician to your door the same day you call.
What are common signs my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Persistent clogs, humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit or sink flange, frequent resets, foul odors that won’t go away, and circuit breaker trips all point to a failing disposal. If you notice one or more of these symptoms, it’s best to shut off the unit and schedule an inspection to avoid motor burnout or plumbing damage.
Can you repair any brand and model of garbage disposal?
Yes. Our technicians stock parts for and are factory-trained on leading brands such as InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, and GE, as well as many discontinued models. If a component is no longer manufactured, we’ll source a compatible part or recommend a cost-effective replacement option.
How much does a typical garbage disposal repair cost in Benton?
Most minor repairs—such as jam removal, reset switch replacement, or flange resealing—range from $95 to $175. Motor or grinding plate repairs generally cost $175 to $300, depending on parts availability. We provide a flat-rate written estimate after diagnosis, so you know the exact price before any work begins.
Should I repair or replace my malfunctioning garbage disposal?
If your unit is fewer than 7 years old and the repair cost is under half the price of a new disposal, repair is usually the economical choice. Units older than 10 years, those with cracked housings, or motors drawing excessive amperage are better candidates for replacement. Our technician will explain both options so you can make an informed decision.
What can I do to keep my garbage disposal running smoothly after the repair?
Run cold water before, during, and 15 seconds after use; feed food waste gradually; avoid fibrous items like celery, grease, coffee grounds, and expandable foods such as pasta or rice; and freshen the unit monthly with a mix of ice cubes and citrus peels. Regular maintenance prolongs motor life and minimizes future clogs.
