FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
If your unit frequently trips the reset button, makes loud grinding or humming noises, emits persistent odors even after cleaning, drains slowly, or fails to power on at all, it’s time to call our Calhoun-based technicians. These symptoms usually point to issues such as dull blades, motor failure, jammed flywheels, or wiring problems that should be diagnosed and fixed by an experienced professional.
Can I use chemical drain cleaners to clear a clog in my garbage disposal?
We strongly advise against using chemical drain cleaners. These products can corrode metal components and rubber seals inside the disposal and the connected plumbing, shortening the life of your unit. Instead, shut off power at the breaker and try manually turning the disposal with an Allen wrench in the bottom socket. If that doesn’t free the clog, schedule service with our licensed plumbers in Calhoun to remove the obstruction safely.
How long should a garbage disposal last, and is repair or replacement more cost-effective?
A well-maintained garbage disposal typically lasts 8–12 years. If your unit is under eight years old and the repair cost is less than half the price of a new disposal, repair is usually the economical choice. For older units or those with cracked housings, burnt-out motors, or repeated breakdowns, replacement is recommended. Our technicians can provide an honest assessment and upfront estimate so you can make an informed decision.
Are your technicians certified to work on all major garbage disposal brands?
Yes. Our Calhoun plumbing team is fully licensed by the state of Georgia and factory-trained on leading brands such as InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, and more. We maintain a comprehensive inventory of OEM and high-quality aftermarket parts to ensure fast, reliable repairs that keep your manufacturer’s warranty intact whenever possible.
What steps do you take to protect my kitchen during the repair process?
Before we start any work, we cover the cabinet floor and nearby countertops with clean drop cloths, wear protective shoe covers, and shut off power at the service panel. We also use specialized drain plugs to prevent debris from entering other plumbing lines. After completing the repair, we run and flush the disposal, test for leaks, and leave the work area spotless—no mess left behind.
