FAQs
What are the most common signs my garbage disposal needs repair?
Frequent clogs, humming without grinding, water leaks under the sink, foul odors that don’t go away after cleaning, and the unit tripping the breaker are all indicators that the disposal is malfunctioning. If you notice any of these issues, turn the unit off to avoid further damage and call our Huntland plumbing team for a professional inspection.
How fast can your Huntland technicians respond to a garbage disposal emergency?
We offer same-day service for calls received before 2 p.m. and 24/7 emergency dispatch for serious leaks, electrical issues, or complete disposal failure. Most customers in Huntland and the surrounding Franklin County communities see a technician at their door within 2–4 hours of placing an emergency call.
Will my garbage disposal need replacement, or can it usually be repaired?
About 70 % of the units we inspect can be repaired with part replacements such as a new flywheel, splash guard, or reset switch. We recommend full replacement only when the motor is burned out, the grinding chamber is cracked, or the unit is over 10 years old and parts are no longer cost-effective. We’ll always explain your options and provide upfront pricing so you can make the best decision.
How much does garbage disposal repair typically cost in Huntland?
Minor repairs like unjamming or replacing a worn splash guard start around $90–$125. Mid-level repairs (leak fixes, new flange installation, wire or switch replacement) range from $150–$250. Full motor or chamber repairs can cost $250–$400. After our on-site assessment, you’ll receive a written quote with no hidden fees before any work begins.
Do you provide a warranty or guarantee on your garbage disposal repairs?
Yes. All parts we install carry the manufacturer’s warranty (usually 1–5 years), and we back our labor with a 1-year workmanship guarantee. If the same issue reoccurs within that period, we’ll return to correct it at no additional charge.
What maintenance tips can prevent future garbage disposal problems?
Run cold water while grinding and for 15 seconds afterward, avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), grease, coffee grounds, and expandable foods like pasta or rice, and clean monthly by grinding ice cubes and a small amount of dish soap. A citrus peel at the end of cleaning helps deodorize. Scheduling an annual inspection with our Huntland plumbers will also catch small issues before they become costly repairs.
