FAQs
What are the most common garbage disposal problems you repair in the Harriman area?
The majority of service calls we receive involve jammed impellers, worn-out splash guards, humming but non-spinning motors, persistent clogs in the drain line, and leaks at the sink flange or dishwasher inlet. Because we focus on cost-effective solutions, we first diagnose whether the part can be freed, cleaned, or resealed before recommending a full replacement.
How much does a typical garbage disposal repair cost in Harriman?
For most homes in Harriman, basic repairs such as unjamming the impellers, tightening mounting hardware, or replacing a splash guard range from $95–$150, including trip charge. More involved work, such as motor capacitor replacement or drain line re-piping, usually falls between $175–$275. We always provide a written, upfront quote after inspection so you can decide whether the repair or a full replacement is the most economical choice.
Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?
Our rule of thumb is to repair if the unit is under 7–8 years old, the housing is not cracked, and replacement parts are still available. If the motor is burned out, the grinding chamber is rusted through, or the appliance is older than 10 years, replacement is usually more cost-effective in the long run. We stock several budget-friendly, energy-efficient models in our Harriman warehouse and can swap the unit the same day if needed.
How fast can you come to my Harriman home for a disposal emergency?
We offer same-day service Monday through Saturday for calls received before noon and 24/7 emergency dispatch for severe leaks or complete kitchen drain blockages. Because our technicians are based right here in Harriman, average arrival time is 60-90 minutes. All service vans carry common disposal parts so most fixes are completed in a single visit.
What can I do to keep my garbage disposal running smoothly and avoid future repairs?
Run cold water before, during, and 15 seconds after use; feed food waste slowly; avoid fibrous items (celery, corn husks), grease, and expandable starches like pasta or rice; and freshen the unit weekly with a handful of ice cubes and a slice of lemon. These habits reduce jams, keep blades sharp, and prevent odors, saving you money on service calls.
Do you offer any warranties or guarantees on your garbage disposal repairs?
Yes. All labor is backed by a 90-day workmanship guarantee, and replacement parts carry the manufacturer’s warranty, typically one year. If the same issue reoccurs within the guarantee period, we return at no charge to make it right. For new unit installations, we register the product on your behalf to ensure full coverage.
