FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Frequent clogging, a humming noise without blade movement, persistent foul odors, water leaking from the unit or under the sink, and repeated tripped breakers are all indicators that your disposal requires service. If resetting the unit or clearing visible obstructions does not restore normal operation, it’s time to call our Jellico‐based plumbers for reliable repairs.
How quickly can your Jellico team respond to a garbage disposal repair call?
We offer same-day service throughout Jellico and nearby communities. For calls received before 2 p.m., a technician can typically be onsite within 2–4 hours. Emergency after-hours service is also available 24/7 for sudden leaks or complete disposal failures that could damage cabinets or flooring.
What is the average cost of a garbage disposal repair in Jellico?
Most minor repairs—such as freeing jammed impellers, replacing a splash guard, or tightening a loose flange—range from $95 to $185. More complex issues like motor replacement, advanced leak repairs, or electrical rewiring can cost $200–$350. Before any work begins, our technician will provide an exact, written quote so there are no surprises.
Is it better to repair or replace my garbage disposal?
If your disposal is under 7–8 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of a new unit, repairing is usually the cost-effective option. However, if the motor is burnt out, the housing is cracked, or the unit is over 10 years old, replacement often makes more sense. We stock standard 1/3-, 1/2-, and 3/4-horsepower disposals on our service trucks, so we can repair or replace during the same visit.
What items should I avoid putting down my garbage disposal to prevent future repairs?
To extend the life of your disposal, avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), starchy items that swell (rice, pasta), grease or cooking oil, large bones, fruit pits, eggshell membranes, coffee grounds in large amounts, and non-food items. Always run cold water before, during, and at least 15 seconds after grinding to flush debris through your plumbing.
Do your garbage disposal repairs come with a warranty?
Yes. All labor is backed by a 1-year workmanship warranty, and any replacement parts or new disposal units include the manufacturer’s warranty—typically 2 to 5 years, depending on the model. If the same issue recurs within the warranty period, we will return to your Jellico home and correct it at no additional charge.
