FAQs
What are the most common signs my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Watch for persistent clogs that won’t clear with a reset, humming without grinding, water leaks under the sink, foul odors that linger after cleaning, or the breaker tripping every time you switch the unit on. Any of these issues can indicate worn bearings, a seized flywheel, damaged seals, or electrical faults that our Guild-based plumbers can diagnose and fix safely.
Can I try to fix a jammed disposal on my own before calling you?
You can attempt a basic reset by switching the power off, pressing the red reset button on the bottom, and turning the flywheel with a hex key in the disposal’s underside socket. Never reach into the chamber with your hand. If the unit still hums, trips the breaker, or will not rotate freely, shut off power at the breaker panel and call our technicians. Forcing it can strip gears or burn out the motor, resulting in a costlier repair or full replacement.
How quickly can your Guild plumbing team respond to a garbage-disposal emergency?
We provide same-day service throughout Guild and surrounding areas. Calls received before 2 p.m. are typically handled within three hours. After-hours or weekend emergencies are covered by our 24/7 on-call technician, so you are never left without a working kitchen sink for long.
What garbage-disposal brands and models do you service?
Our licensed plumbers are factory-trained on InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, GE, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, Badger, and most other major residential and light-commercial models. We carry common replacement parts on our service vans, enabling us to complete 90 % of repairs in one visit.
Will you recommend replacing my disposal if it’s beyond repair?
Yes. If the motor is burned out, the grinding chamber is cracked, or repair parts exceed 50 % of the cost of a new unit, replacement is usually the most economical choice. We provide a side-by-side quote for repair versus replacement, handle disposal removal, supply a new unit matched to your sink and electrical load, and install it with a full parts-and-labor warranty.
How can I prevent future garbage-disposal problems?
Run cold water before, during, and 30 seconds after operation to flush debris. Feed food waste gradually; avoid fibrous items like celery, corn husks, onion skins, and banana peels. Never pour grease, coffee grounds, or expandable foods such as pasta and rice into the unit. Monthly, grind ice cubes with a splash of citrus peel to scour buildup and keep odors down. Scheduling an annual inspection with our Guild plumbers ensures the splash guard, seals, and electrical connections remain in top condition.
