FAQs
What are common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Warning signs include repeated tripped reset buttons, humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit or sink flange, foul odors that won’t clear, chronic clogging, or breakers that keep tripping when the disposal is switched on. If you notice any of these symptoms, shut the unit off and call our Dunlap-based plumbers to prevent motor burnout or further pipe damage.
Do you repair all brands and sizes of garbage disposals in Dunlap?
Yes. Our licensed technicians carry parts and documentation for all major brands—InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, Whirlpool, and more—as well as compact 1/3-HP models up to heavy-duty 1-HP commercial units. If a proprietary component is required, we can usually source it the same or next business day within the Dunlap area.
How much does garbage disposal repair typically cost?
Most repairs in Dunlap fall between $110 and $250, depending on factors such as motor replacement, jam clearance, or pipe resealing. We diagnose the issue onsite, provide an upfront flat-rate quote before work begins, and never add hidden trip or fuel surcharges. If the repair approaches 50% of the cost of a new unit, we’ll give you straightforward replacement options as well.
Do you offer same-day or emergency garbage disposal service?
Absolutely. Our dispatch line is open 24/7, and we keep technicians on call for after-hours or weekend emergencies. For most Dunlap addresses we can arrive within 90 minutes, fully stocked with replacement gaskets, splash guards, and universal cords to complete common repairs in one visit.
Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?
We typically recommend repair if the unit is under eight years old and the problem is limited to jams, leaks at the flange, or minor electrical issues. Replacement is more cost-effective when the motor is burned out, the grind chamber is cracked, or the disposal is over ten years old and experiencing frequent failures. During our diagnostic, we’ll explain both options, show you the price difference, and let you decide—no pressure sales.
How can I avoid future garbage disposal problems after the repair?
1) Run cold water before, during, and 15 seconds after use. 2) Feed scraps slowly—no large batches. 3) Keep fibrous foods (celery, corn husks, onion skins) and expandable starches (pasta, rice) out of the disposal. 4) Grind ice cubes or citrus peels monthly to clean blades and eliminate odors. 5) Never pour grease, fats, or coffee grounds down the drain. Following these tips extends the life of your newly repaired disposal and prevents clogs in your Dunlap plumbing system.
