FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Frequent jams, humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit or under the sink, persistent foul odors that cleaning doesn’t remove, and the need to constantly press the reset button are all indicators your disposal needs expert attention. If you notice any of these issues in your Loudon home, turn the unit off and schedule a service call to prevent motor damage or plumbing backups.
Do you service every brand and model of garbage disposals in Loudon?
Yes. Our technicians carry factory-approved parts and specialized tools to diagnose and repair virtually every major disposal brand—including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, and more. Older or discontinued models can usually be repaired as well; if parts are no longer available, we’ll recommend compatible replacements and handle the swap in the same visit when possible.
How quickly can you arrive for an emergency garbage disposal repair in Loudon?
We offer same-day service across Loudon County when you call before 1 p.m., and 24/7 emergency dispatch for severe leaks or backed-up sinks. Most customers receive a technician at their door within 2–4 hours. Our vans are fully stocked, so 90 % of disposal problems are fixed on the first trip.
What is the typical cost range for repairing a garbage disposal in Loudon?
Minor fixes such as jam removal or reset switch replacement start around $95–$125. Mid-level repairs like replacing a cracked splash guard, worn bearings, or leaking seals usually fall between $150 and $250. Complex issues such as motor replacement or extensive wiring repairs can run $275–$400. We provide a flat, upfront quote after diagnosis, and there is never a trip charge if you proceed with the repair.
Should I repair or replace an old, jammed garbage disposal?
We follow the 50/50 rule. If the disposal is more than 8–10 years old and the repair cost exceeds 50 % of the price of a comparable new unit, replacement is more cost-effective. Newer disposals that just need jam clearing, gasket replacement, or minor electrical work are usually worth fixing. During the inspection, we’ll outline both options so you can make an informed decision.
How can I prevent future clogs and breakdowns after my disposal is repaired?
1. Run cold water before, during, and 15 seconds after grinding. 2. Feed waste gradually—never dump large loads all at once. 3. Avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), starchy peelings, coffee grounds, grease, and expandable foods like pasta or rice. 4. Refresh the unit monthly by grinding ice cubes and citrus peels. 5. Schedule an annual plumbing check-up; we’ll inspect the disposal, drain lines, and P-trap to catch issues early.
