FAQs
What are the most common signs my garbage disposal needs repair?
Watch for humming without grinding, repeated tripping of the reset button or circuit breaker, water leaking from the unit or under the sink, foul odors that won’t go away after cleaning, and slow or clogged drainage. Any of these symptoms indicate an internal jam, worn motor, damaged seals, or drain obstruction that our Blaine-based plumbers can diagnose and fix quickly.
Do you service all brands and models of garbage disposals?
Yes. Our technicians carry parts, specialty tools, and factory specifications for every major brand—including InSinkErator, Waste King, KitchenAid, Moen, GE, and Whirlpool—as well as many older or discontinued models. Whether your disposal is 1/3-hp or a heavy-duty 1-hp commercial unit, we can repair or replace components and restore full operation.
How fast can you get to my home in Blaine, and what are your service hours?
We provide same-day appointments throughout Blaine and the surrounding Anoka County area. Calls received before noon are typically handled the same afternoon, and we have 24/7 emergency dispatch for severe leaks or complete shutdowns. Standard hours are Monday–Friday, 7 a.m.–6 p.m., and Saturday 8 a.m.–2 p.m., with no extra fee for weekday evening appointments.
Will my garbage disposal need to be replaced, or can it usually be repaired?
About 70 % of the units we inspect can be restored with an impeller reset, flywheel realignment, seal replacement, or electrical repair—often in under an hour. We recommend replacement only when the motor is burned out, the grinding chamber is cracked, or the unit is over 10 years old and parts are no longer cost-effective. We always explain options and prices before starting work.
What does garbage disposal repair cost and do you offer estimates?
Most repairs in Blaine range from $135 to $295, which includes the diagnostic fee, labor, and common parts such as gaskets or splash guards. More extensive motor or chamber repairs can run $300–$450 but are still less than replacing many premium disposals. We provide a written, upfront estimate after inspection, and we waive the diagnostic fee when you approve the repair on the spot.
How can I keep my garbage disposal running smoothly after the repair?
Run cold water during and 20 seconds after every use, feed waste gradually, and avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), fats, and starchy build-ups like potato peels. Once a month, grind ice cubes with a cup of rock salt or citrus peels to clean the blades and deodorize. Never use chemical drain cleaners; instead, flush with baking soda and vinegar. If you notice changes in sound or performance, call us early to prevent bigger problems.
