FAQs
What are the most common garbage-disposal problems you repair in Harrison?
Our technicians frequently resolve jammed impellers, units that hum but won’t spin, chronic clogs in the drain line, leaks from the sink flange or discharge tube, tripped reset buttons, and disposals that simply won’t turn on. Because we stock OEM parts for the leading brands, most repairs are completed in one visit.
How can I tell if my garbage disposal needs repair or full replacement?
Age is the first clue—if the unit is 8–12 years old, replacement often makes more economic sense. Other warning signs include water leaking from the bottom housing, repeated need to hit the reset button, loud grinding or metal-on-metal noises, foul odors that won’t dissipate, and blades that no longer shred food efficiently. During our service call we perform a full inspection and let you know whether a repair will restore safe operation or if a new unit would be more cost-effective.
Is it safe to attempt a DIY fix on my garbage disposal?
You can safely press the red reset button, check the breaker, or use the supplied hex wrench (with power off) to free a jam—those steps resolve many minor issues. Anything beyond that exposes you to sharp impellers, high torque motors, and live wiring. Injuries and further damage are common when homeowners disassemble disposals, so we recommend calling a licensed plumber once basic troubleshooting fails.
How quickly can your Harrison team respond to a garbage-disposal emergency?
For no-drain or leak emergencies we offer 24/7 dispatch; in most Harrison ZIP codes a technician arrives within 90 minutes. Non-emergency appointments can usually be scheduled the same or next business day, and we always call 30 minutes before arrival so you’re not left waiting.
What does garbage-disposal repair cost, and do you provide upfront pricing?
After diagnosing the problem, we present a flat, written estimate before any work begins. Simple jams or electrical resets can be as low as $125, while seal replacement, motor swaps, or extensive drain clearing may range from $180 to $350. All labor is warrantied for one year, and there are no overtime surcharges for evening or weekend service in Harrison.
Can you install a new disposal and help me choose the right model?
Yes. If repair isn’t practical we carry 1/3-, 1/2-, and 3/4-horsepower units from InSinkErator, Moen, and Waste King on our service trucks. We factor in the size of your household, cooking habits, and plumbing layout to recommend the proper horsepower, noise insulation, and grind stages. Installation includes removal of the old unit, new mounting flange, electrical hookup, leak check, and a detailed owner tutorial.
