FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Warning signs include humming without grinding, frequent resets, water leaking from the unit or under the sink, foul odors that won’t go away after cleaning, and circuit breakers that trip when the disposal is turned on. If you notice any of these issues in your Kodak home, it’s time to call Proper Function Plumbing before further damage occurs.
What brands or models of garbage disposals do you service in Kodak?
Our experienced technicians service all major brands—including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, GE, Whirlpool, and KitchenAid—along with many lesser-known or older models. Whether your unit is batch-feed or continuous-feed, we carry OEM and high-quality aftermarket parts to get it running smoothly again.
Can I safely troubleshoot or unjam my disposal on my own?
You can try a few basic steps—turn off the power, insert the supplied Allen wrench into the bottom hex hole, and rotate to free a jam. Never put your hand inside the chamber. If the reset button won’t stay in or the jam returns quickly, the motor or impellers may be damaged and require professional attention. Attempting advanced DIY repairs can void warranties and create safety hazards, so call us if simple resets don’t solve the problem.
How quickly can Proper Function Plumbing schedule a garbage disposal repair in Kodak?
We offer same-day and next-day appointments throughout Kodak and the surrounding Sevier County area. Emergency service is available 24/7 for severe leaks or backed-up sinks. Most standard repairs take less than an hour once we arrive, and we come with fully stocked trucks so there’s minimal wait for parts.
What happens if my disposal is beyond repair—do you handle replacements too?
Absolutely. After a diagnostic inspection, we’ll explain whether repair or replacement is the more cost-effective option. If you choose replacement, we can install a new disposal on the same visit, haul away the old unit, and provide a warranty on both parts and labor. We’ll also suggest models that match your household’s size, noise preferences, and budget.
How can I prevent future garbage disposal problems?
Run cold water during and 15–30 seconds after each use, avoid fibrous foods (corn husks, celery), starches that turn to paste (potato peels, rice), and hard items such as bones. Cut large scraps into smaller pieces, feed them gradually, and pour a mix of ice cubes and coarse salt monthly to clean the grinding chamber. A yearly professional inspection by Proper Function Plumbing can catch minor wear before it leads to costly breakdowns.
