FAQs
What are the most common garbage disposal problems you repair in Monteagle?
Our technicians frequently fix jammed or humming units, leaking seals or flanges, worn-out impellers, clogs caused by food buildup, and disposals that simply won’t turn on. Because our service trucks are fully stocked with replacement parts, we can usually diagnose and repair these issues during the same visit.
How much does garbage disposal repair typically cost?
Simple repairs such as clearing a jam or replacing a rubber splash guard start around $95–$125. Mid-level repairs—like replacing a worn flywheel, reset switch, or leaking gasket—generally range from $150–$225. If the motor or grinding chamber has failed, a full replacement may be more cost-effective, which runs $275–$450 installed, depending on the horsepower and warranty. We always provide a written, upfront estimate before any work begins.
Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?
If your disposal is under 7 years old and the motor still runs, repairing a jam, leak, or minor electrical problem is usually the most economical choice. However, if the unit is over 10 years old, frequently trips breakers, or has a cracked housing or burnt-out motor, replacement is recommended. Newer models are quieter, more energy-efficient, and carry longer warranties—often making them the better long-term value.
How quickly can you come to my home in Monteagle for a disposal issue?
We offer same-day service throughout Monteagle and the surrounding area when you call before 2 p.m. For emergency situations—such as a disposal leak that is damaging cabinetry—we provide 24/7 dispatch. Our technician will confirm an exact arrival window by text or phone, so you’re never left waiting all day.
What can I do to keep my garbage disposal running smoothly after the repair?
Run cold water before and after grinding food waste, avoid fibrous items like celery or corn husks, cut large scraps into smaller pieces, and periodically grind ice cubes with a few citrus peels to clean the blades and neutralize odors. Never pour grease or cooking oils down the unit, and use only biodegradable cleaners—harsh chemicals can corrode internal components.
How do I schedule a repair appointment and what forms of payment do you accept?
Scheduling is easy—just call our office, book online, or use our mobile app to select a convenient time slot. We accept major credit cards, debit, checks, and contactless payments. Financing options with zero interest for 6 months are also available for larger repair or replacement jobs.
