FAQs
What are the most common signs my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Watch for persistent clogs, humming without grinding, water leaks under the sink, foul odours that won’t go away, or the unit tripping the circuit breaker. If you notice any of these issues in your Mascot home, it’s best to switch the disposal off and call our licensed plumbers before further damage occurs.
Should I repair or replace a malfunctioning garbage disposal?
A repair is usually worthwhile when the unit is less than eight years old, the motor still works, and the problem involves a jammed flywheel, worn gasket, loose mounting, or minor wiring fault. Replacement makes more sense when the motor has burnt out, the grinding chamber is cracked, or rust is significant. Our technicians will inspect the unit on-site and give you an honest recommendation along with cost comparisons so you can decide confidently.
How long does a typical garbage disposal repair take in Mascot?
Most repairs—such as freeing a jam, replacing a gasket, or rewiring the switch—can be completed within 45–90 minutes once we arrive. Complex jobs like motor or chamber replacement may run 2–3 hours. We carry common parts in our service vehicles, enabling same-day fixes for the vast majority of Mascot customers.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured to work on garbage disposals in Mascot?
Yes. Every technician on our team holds a current NSW plumbing licence, carries public liability insurance, and undergoes regular training on waste-disposal systems. You can have peace of mind knowing your appliance and property are protected throughout the repair process.
What items should I avoid putting down the disposal to prevent future breakdowns?
Keep fibrous foods (corn husks, celery, onion skins), starchy items (rice, pasta, potato peels), large bones, coffee grounds, eggshells, grease, and non-food materials out of the unit. Run cold water before, during, and 15 seconds after grinding to flush debris through the pipes. Following these practices can prolong the life of your disposal and reduce the need for service calls.
How much will a garbage disposal repair cost, and do you offer upfront pricing?
Minor repairs in Mascot start from $150, while more involved jobs such as motor replacement can range from $300–$450, parts included. We provide a detailed, fixed quote after assessing the problem on-site—no hidden fees or overtime surprises. If replacement is more economical, we’ll quote you on new-unit supply and installation so you can choose the best value option.
