FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Typical indicators include a humming motor with no grinding, persistent clogs, water leaking from the unit or under the sink, foul odors that won’t wash away, frequent tripped breakers or reset button pops, and loud metallic or grinding noises. If you notice any of these symptoms in your Greenback home, it’s safest to shut the unit off and call our experienced technicians to prevent further damage.
Can your technicians repair all brands and models of garbage disposals?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers have extensive training and carry OEM and universal parts for major brands like InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, and Whirlpool, as well as many discontinued models. Whether your unit is a basic 1/3-HP model or a high-end, multi-stage grinder, we can diagnose issues, source compatible components, and perform warranty or out-of-warranty repairs.
Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?
We evaluate four key factors: age (units over 10–12 years may be near end-of-life), severity of damage (motor burnout or cracked housing often warrants replacement), frequency of past repairs, and cost comparison (if repair exceeds 50% of replacement price, a new unit is typically more economical). After a thorough inspection, we give you a transparent quote and explain the pros and cons so you can make an informed decision.
How quickly can you respond to a garbage disposal emergency in Greenback?
For most calls made before noon, we offer same-day service throughout the Greenback area, including surrounding neighborhoods and rural addresses. Emergency slots are reserved for active leaks or electrical hazards; in those cases we aim to arrive within 2–4 hours. All appointments are scheduled within a 2-hour arrival window, and our technician will call or text 30 minutes before arrival.
What does garbage disposal repair typically cost?
Costs vary with the problem, but most repairs fall between $125 and $275, including parts and labor. Minor fixes such as jam clearing or reset switch replacement are on the low end, while motor or flange replacement falls on the higher end. After diagnosis, we provide a flat-rate quote—no hidden fees, trip charges, or overtime surprises. If replacement is the better option, we credit the diagnostic fee toward the new installation.
How can I keep my garbage disposal working properly after it’s repaired?
Run cold water before, during, and 15 seconds after grinding food; feed scraps slowly; avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), starches (potato peels, rice), grease, and non-food items. Once a week, grind a handful of ice cubes with a splash of dish soap to scour the chamber, then rinse with cold water and finish with a citrus peel for freshness. Schedule an annual check-up if you notice vibration or slower draining—early maintenance can prevent costly breakdowns.
