FAQs
What are the most common signs my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Watch for humming without grinding, frequent resets, water leaking from the unit or under the sink, foul odors that won’t go away after cleaning, or the disposal tripping the breaker. Any of these issues indicate worn motor bearings, jammed impellers, or failing seals—problems our Gruetli-Laager technicians can diagnose and fix quickly.
Can your technicians unclog or replace my disposal the same day in Gruetli-Laager?
Yes. Because we keep fully stocked service vehicles in the Sequatchie Valley area, most clogs, jam removals, and motor replacements can be completed during the first visit. If your unit is beyond repair, we can install a new disposal on the spot, haul away the old one, and reconnect all plumbing and power safely the same day.
What brands and models of garbage disposals do you repair or install?
Our licensed plumbers work on all major brands, including InSinkErator, Waste-Maid, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, and Whirlpool. We service continuous-feed and batch-feed units from 1/3-HP residential models to 1-HP heavy-duty disposers used in light commercial kitchens. We also install quiet, septic-safe, and jam-sensor models if you’re ready to upgrade.
How much does garbage disposal repair cost, and do you provide upfront pricing?
Minor jam clearing typically ranges from $95–$150, seal or flange replacements $150–$225, and complete motor swaps $250–$350. Before any work begins, our technician will inspect your disposal, explain the issue, and present a written, flat-rate quote so you know the full cost—no hidden fees or overtime charges.
What can I do to prevent future garbage disposal jams or odors?
Run cold water before, during, and 15 seconds after grinding; feed food scraps slowly; avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), grease, bones, and coffee grounds; grind ice cubes monthly to scour the chamber; and pour a cup of baking soda followed by white vinegar quarterly to neutralize smells. Periodic professional tune-ups also keep blades sharp and seals tight.
Do your garbage disposal repairs come with a warranty?
Absolutely. All parts we supply are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, and we stand behind our workmanship with an additional 1-year labor guarantee. If the same issue recurs within that period, we’ll return to your Gruetli-Laager home at no charge to make it right.
