FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal in La Follette needs professional repair?
Typical warning signs include persistent clogs, loud grinding or humming noises, water leaking from the unit or under the sink, a lingering foul odor that cleaning can’t remove, slow drainage, or the disposal failing to turn on altogether. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to shut off the unit and schedule a repair to prevent further damage.
Can I try fixing my garbage disposal myself, or should I call your La Follette plumbing team?
Minor issues like pressing the reset button or gently removing visible debris with tongs can be homeowner-friendly tasks. However, most problems—especially electrical faults, jammed impellers, leaks, or motor failures—require specialized tools and expertise. DIY attempts can void warranties, cause injuries, or worsen the damage. Our licensed La Follette plumbers diagnose the root cause quickly and repair your disposal safely and effectively, often saving money in the long run.
How much does garbage disposal repair typically cost in the La Follette area?
Repair costs depend on factors such as the model, severity of the problem, and whether replacement parts are needed. On average, simple fixes (un-jamming, minor wiring, or flange resealing) range from $90–$150, while more complex repairs involving motor replacement or extensive leak correction can be $200–$350. We provide free, up-front estimates after a thorough on-site inspection so there are no surprises.
How long will a garbage disposal repair appointment take?
Most standard repairs in La Follette are completed within 45–90 minutes. If special parts are required or the unit is located in a tight or custom cabinet configuration, it can extend to 2–3 hours. Our trucks are stocked with common components to minimize delays, and we schedule appointments at times convenient for you.
Can you replace my existing disposal if it’s beyond repair, and do you offer eco-friendly options?
Absolutely. If a disposal’s motor has burned out or the housing is cracked, replacement is usually more cost-effective. We install a wide range of models, including energy-efficient and noise-reduced units, as well as batch-feed disposals for added safety. We responsibly recycle your old unit and can recommend the best size and horsepower rating for your household’s needs.
What can I do to prevent future garbage disposal problems?
Run cold water before, during, and after use to solidify grease for easier grinding, avoid fibrous foods (like celery or corn husks), starchy scraps (large amounts of pasta or potato peels), coffee grounds, and hard items such as bones. Feed scraps gradually, keep the rubber splash guard clean, and grind a handful of ice cubes with a slice of citrus once a month to sharpen blades and neutralize odors. Scheduling an annual inspection with our La Follette plumbing team can catch wear before it becomes a costly repair.
