FAQs
What are the most common signs my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Frequent clogs, humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit or under the sink, reset button trips repeatedly, foul odors that won’t go away after cleaning, or the disposal not turning on at all are all indications that a repair is required. If you experience any of these issues, shut off power to the unit and schedule service to prevent further damage.
Can Prompt Service Plumbing repair any brand or model of garbage disposal?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers are trained to diagnose and repair all major garbage disposal brands—including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, and GE—as well as less-common or discontinued models. We carry universal parts on our service trucks and can order specialty components when needed, so most repairs are completed on the first visit.
How soon can a technician get to my Georgetown home for disposal repair?
We provide same-day service throughout Georgetown and surrounding communities. Call before noon for the best chance of same-day scheduling; emergency appointments are available 24/7. For non-urgent repairs, we offer convenient two-hour arrival windows, and our dispatcher will call or text when the plumber is en route.
Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?
If the disposal is less than eight years old and only has a minor issue—such as a jammed flywheel, worn gasket, or loose wiring—repair usually makes financial sense. Replacement is recommended when the motor is burned out, the grinding chamber is cracked, or the unit is over a decade old and repairs would exceed 50% of the cost of a new disposal. Our technician will explain options and prices so you can decide what’s best for your household.
How much does garbage disposal repair typically cost in Georgetown?
Most repairs range from $125–$250, which includes a diagnostic inspection, labor, and common replacement parts like splash guards, flanges, or wiring. Complex repairs—such as motor or chamber replacement—can cost more. We provide upfront, flat-rate pricing after diagnosing the problem, so you’ll know the exact cost before any work begins.
What maintenance tips can prevent future clogs or breakdowns?
Run cold water before, during, and for 15–30 seconds after grinding; feed food scraps slowly; avoid putting fibrous foods, grease, coffee grounds, or expandable starches down the disposal; grind ice cubes periodically to clean the blades; and refresh odors with a mix of baking soda and vinegar followed by a citrus peel. Scheduling an annual plumbing inspection also helps detect small issues before they become large, costly repairs.
