FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?
Watch for humming without grinding, repeated tripped breakers, water leaking from the unit or sink cabinet, foul odors that don’t rinse away, or the sink backing up when the disposal runs. Any of these symptoms indicate worn-out blades, a seized motor, cracked seals, or a clogged discharge line that should be inspected by a professional plumber.
Do you provide same-day garbage disposal repair service in Calhoun?
Yes. Because we keep fully stocked service vehicles in the Calhoun area, we can usually dispatch a licensed plumber the same day you call—often within a two-hour window. Emergency service is available 24/7 for severe leaks or total unit failure that prevents you from using the kitchen sink.
Which garbage disposal brands and models can you work on?
Our technicians are factory-trained to diagnose and repair all major residential and light-commercial disposals, including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, Whirlpool, Badger, and many others. Whether your unit is continuous-feed, batch-feed, 1⁄3-HP, or 1-HP+, we carry OEM and high-quality aftermarket parts to complete most fixes on the first visit.
How much does a typical garbage disposal repair cost in Calhoun?
Most repairs fall between $125 and $275, which includes the trip charge, labor, and common parts such as gaskets, splash guards, or reset switches. Complex repairs—like motor replacement or extensive drain re-piping—can run higher. You’ll receive a written, upfront estimate before any work begins, and we never add surprise fees after the job is done.
Should I repair my existing disposal or replace it with a new one?
If the unit is less than eight years old and only needs minor parts, repair is usually the most economical choice. However, replacement makes more sense when the motor is burned out, the grinding chamber is cracked, or repair costs exceed 50% of a new unit. Our plumber will lay out both options, including warranty details and energy-efficiency benefits, so you can make an informed decision.
What maintenance steps can I take to keep my garbage disposal running smoothly after it’s repaired?
Run cold water before, during, and 10–15 seconds after grinding; feed food scraps gradually; avoid fibrous items like celery or corn husks; never pour grease down the drain; and freshen the unit monthly with ice cubes, a handful of rock salt, and a sliced citrus peel. Scheduling an annual plumbing inspection also helps catch small leaks or drain issues before they escalate.
