FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Frequent jams, humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit or sink flange, foul odors that cleaning can’t remove, and circuit breaker trips are all indicators that your disposal needs attention. If you’re noticing any of these issues in your Grandview home, it’s best to shut the unit off and call our skilled technicians to diagnose the problem before more serious damage occurs.
Can you repair my garbage disposal, or will I need to replace it?
Our first goal is always to repair, not replace. We inspect the motor, flywheel, grinding chamber, and electrical connections to determine if worn parts, loose wiring, or blockages are causing the malfunction. In many cases we can replace seals, reset the overload protector, or clear jams for a fraction of the cost of a new unit. If your disposal is over 10–12 years old, has a cracked housing, or its motor has failed completely, we’ll recommend replacement and help you choose an energy-efficient model that fits your sink and plumbing.
How quickly can your Grandview plumbers respond to a garbage disposal emergency?
We provide same-day service throughout Grandview and the surrounding neighborhoods. Calls placed before 2 p.m. are usually handled within a few hours, and we maintain an after-hours line for true emergencies such as severe leaks or backup into the dishwasher. Our fully stocked service vans carry the most common replacement parts, allowing us to complete 90 % of repairs in a single visit.
Are your garbage disposal technicians licensed and insured?
Yes. Every plumber on our team is Missouri-licensed, background-checked, and fully insured. They receive ongoing factory training for major disposal brands like InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King, and KitchenAid. You can feel confident that any technician who arrives at your Grandview home has the expertise and tools to do the job safely and correctly.
What can I do to prevent future clogs and jams in my garbage disposal?
Run cold water before, during, and after grinding; feed food waste slowly instead of dumping large amounts at once; avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), grease, coffee grounds, and expandable items like pasta or rice; periodically grind ice cubes and citrus peels to clean the blades; and never use harsh chemical drain cleaners. Our technicians are happy to provide a personalized maintenance checklist during your service visit.
How much does garbage disposal repair cost, and do you provide upfront pricing?
Most minor repairs—such as jam removal, reset, or flange tightening—fall between $95 and $150. More complex work involving motor components or leak correction ranges from $175 to $275, while full disposal replacement typically costs $350 to $600 including a new unit and installation. We offer transparent, upfront quotes before any work begins, so you’ll always know the exact price and warranty terms.
