FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Typical indicators include persistent clogs, humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit or sink flange, foul odors that won’t dissipate after cleaning, and the disposal repeatedly tripping the reset button or your circuit breaker. If you notice any of these issues, turn the power off to the disposal and contact our Birchwood plumbing team for a prompt assessment.
Can I try to fix my garbage disposal myself before calling a plumber?
You can safely attempt a few basic troubleshooting steps: 1) Press the reset button on the bottom of the unit, 2) Make sure the power cord is plugged in or the breaker isn’t tripped, and 3) Use a disposal wrench or an Allen key in the bottom hex slot to manually free a jam (with the power off). If these steps don’t resolve the problem, avoid further DIY work—using improper tools or forcing the blades can damage the motor or cause leaks. Our licensed Birchwood plumbers are equipped to handle repairs quickly and safely.
How quickly can your Birchwood technicians respond to a garbage disposal emergency?
For most calls in Birchwood we offer same-day service, and in true emergencies—such as a complete kitchen drain backup or significant leakage—we aim to arrive within two hours. Our dispatchers will give you a real-time ETA and keep you updated, so you’re never left guessing when help will arrive.
Do you repair all brands and models of garbage disposals?
Yes. Our technicians carry parts and specialized tools for all major manufacturers—including InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King, General Electric, and KitchenAid—as well as many lesser-known brands. Whether your unit is a basic 1/3-HP builder model or a premium, multi-stage grind disposal, we can diagnose and repair it. If a discontinued model needs a part that is no longer available, we’ll recommend the closest compatible replacement and handle the swap for you.
How much does garbage disposal repair typically cost, and do you provide upfront estimates?
Most repairs in Birchwood fall between $120 and $275, depending on the complexity—simple jam removals are on the low end, while motor or seal replacements are higher. Before any work begins, our technician will inspect the unit, explain the issue, and present a written, flat-rate estimate. You approve the price first, so there are no surprise charges when the job is done.
Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?
We use three key factors to guide you: 1) Age—units over 8–10 years old are often near the end of their lifespan; 2) Cost of repair—if the estimate exceeds 50% of the cost of a new disposal, replacement is usually the better value; 3) Performance—frequent clogs, sluggish grinding, or insufficient horsepower for your household’s needs may warrant an upgrade. Our technician will outline both options, including price comparisons and warranty details, so you can make an informed decision.
