FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Frequent clogs, humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit or under the sink, foul odors that won’t clear, and the disposal tripping the circuit breaker are all indicators of trouble. If basic troubleshooting—like pressing the reset button, clearing obvious blockages, or running cold water—doesn’t fix the issue, it’s time to call our Guild-based technicians.
How quickly can your Guild plumbing team respond to a garbage disposal emergency?
For most addresses in Guild, we offer same-day service and can often be at your door within 2–4 hours of your call. Our trucks are stocked with the most common disposal parts, allowing us to complete 90% of repairs on the first visit.
Will you recommend repair or replacement, and how do you decide?
We evaluate the age, horsepower, brand, and condition of your current unit, plus the severity of the problem and cost of parts. If a disposal is over 8–10 years old, has a cracked grinding chamber, or the repair cost exceeds 50% of a new unit, replacement is usually more economical. Otherwise, we’ll carry out a durable repair backed by our 12-month parts and labor warranty.
What can I do to prevent garbage disposal clogs and breakdowns?
Run cold water before, during, and 10–15 seconds after use; feed scraps slowly; avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), grease, bones, coffee grounds, and expandable starches like pasta or rice; and perform a monthly cleaning with ice cubes and a small amount of rock salt or vinegar to keep blades sharp and odor-causing residue at bay.
Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners in my disposal?
No. Caustic chemical cleaners can corrode metal components, damage rubber gaskets, and void many manufacturers’ warranties. If you have a clog, first try a mixture of baking soda and vinegar, then flush with hot water. If the clog persists, switch off the power at the breaker and call our professionals for mechanical clearing.
Do you offer any warranties or satisfaction guarantees on your garbage disposal repairs?
Yes. All repairs include a 12-month parts and labor warranty, plus our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If the same issue recurs within a year, we’ll return at no cost. New disposal installations come with the manufacturer’s warranty (typically 5–10 years) and our own labor warranty for two full years.
