FAQs

What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?

Watch for persistent clogs, humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit or the sink flange, foul odors that won’t clear after cleaning, repeated tripped breakers, or grinding noises that sound unusual. If any of these issues occur, shut the disposal off and call our Dunlap plumbing team to prevent further damage.

How quickly can your Dunlap plumbers respond to a garbage disposal emergency?

Because our technicians are based right here in Dunlap, we offer same-day service for calls received before 2 p.m. and 24/7 emergency coverage for severe leaks or total stoppages. Most customers see a licensed plumber at their door within two hours of scheduling.

Is it better to repair or replace a malfunctioning garbage disposal?

If the unit is under 8–10 years old and the motor isn’t burned out, repair is usually the most cost-effective choice. We can replace worn seals, reset jammed flywheels, or swap out a failed switch. If the motor is seized, the grind plate is cracked, or the housing is corroded, replacement is the safer long-term option. Our technician will inspect the disposal onsite and explain both paths so you can make an informed decision.

What does garbage disposal repair typically cost in Dunlap?

For most repairs—such as clearing jams, replacing gaskets, or installing a new splash guard—our prices range from $150 to $350, parts and labor included. Complex fixes that involve motor work or extensive plumbing rerouting can reach $400–$500. Before any work begins you’ll receive a written, upfront quote with no hidden fees.

Which garbage disposal brands and models do you service?

Our experienced team services all major residential and light-commercial brands, including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, and Badger. We stock common replacement parts on our trucks, allowing us to complete 90% of repairs during the first visit regardless of model or horsepower rating.

How can I prevent future problems with my garbage disposal?

Run plenty of cold water before, during, and after grinding; feed food scraps slowly; avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), grease, coffee grounds, and expandable starches; and refresh the unit monthly with a half cup of ice cubes followed by a citrus peel. Scheduling an annual inspection with our Dunlap plumbers ensures bolts stay tight, seals remain watertight, and electrical connections are secure.
