FAQs
What are common signs my garbage disposal in Huntland needs professional repair?
Look for humming without grinding, frequent resets, persistent foul odors, water leaks beneath the sink, and repeated clogs. If you notice any of these, it’s best to call a local Huntland plumber before damage worsens.
Can I try to fix a jammed garbage disposal myself before calling a Huntland plumber?
You can safely attempt a reset by pressing the red reset button underneath the unit and use a ¼" hex key to manually turn the flywheel from the bottom. Always cut power at the breaker first. If these steps don’t free the jam or if the reset trips again, professional service is recommended to avoid motor burnout.
How quickly can your Huntland plumbing team respond to a garbage disposal emergency?
Our local technicians are on-call 24/7. For most Huntland addresses we can arrive within 1–2 hours, fully stocked with replacement parts and new disposals if a swap-out proves more economical than repair.
Is it better to repair or replace an older garbage disposal?
If the unit is over 8–10 years old, has severe corrosion, or needs expensive parts such as a motor or grinding components, replacement is usually more cost-effective. During our diagnostic visit, we’ll provide an upfront comparison of repair vs. replacement costs so you can make an informed choice.
What foods should I avoid putting down my new or repaired garbage disposal?
To extend the life of your disposal, skip fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), starchy items (potato peels, rice, pasta), large bones, coffee grounds in bulk, eggshell membranes, grease, and cooking oil. Run cold water before, during, and after use to flush waste through Huntland’s plumbing system.
Do you offer warranties on garbage disposal repairs and installations in Huntland?
Yes. Repairs come with a 12-month labor warranty and any parts we install carry the manufacturer’s warranty—typically 1–5 years. For new disposals, we handle the registration process so your coverage is active from day one.
