FAQs
What are the most common signs my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Frequent clogs, humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit or sink flange, foul odors that won’t go away after cleaning, and circuit breaker trips are all red flags. If you experience any of these issues, turn the disposal off and call our Monterey-based technicians right away to prevent motor burnout or plumbing damage.
Should I repair or replace my malfunctioning garbage disposal?
If your unit is less than 7–10 years old and the problem is limited to a jam, worn gasket, or minor electrical fault, repair is typically more cost-effective. However, if the motor is burned out, the grinding chamber is cracked, or the unit is older than a decade, replacement is usually the smarter investment. Our experts will inspect the disposal on-site and provide an honest cost-benefit analysis before you decide.
How fast can your Monterey technicians respond to a garbage disposal emergency?
We offer same-day service throughout Monterey, Pacific Grove, Seaside, and neighboring communities. For true emergencies—such as active leaks causing cabinet or floor damage—we can usually arrive within 2 hours. Our trucks are fully stocked with replacement parts, allowing us to complete most repairs in a single visit.
What brands and models of garbage disposals do you service?
Our team is factory-trained to service all major brands, including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, and Whirlpool. We carry OEM and high-quality aftermarket parts for continuous-feed and batch-feed models ranging from 1/3 HP to 1-HP units, ensuring quick, precise repairs no matter what’s installed under your sink.
Do your garbage disposal repairs come with a warranty?
Yes. All repair labor is backed by a 1-year workmanship guarantee, and any new parts we install carry the manufacturer’s warranty—typically 1 to 5 years, depending on the component. If the same issue reoccurs within the coverage period, we will return and fix it at no additional cost.
What maintenance tips can prevent future jams and clogs?
Run cold water before, during, and at least 15 seconds after grinding; feed food scraps slowly instead of dumping large amounts at once; avoid fibrous items like celery, artichoke leaves, and corn husks; never pour grease, oil, or coffee grounds down the disposal; and freshen the grinding chamber monthly with a mixture of ice cubes, rock salt, and a few lemon peels. Following these steps will extend the life of your unit and reduce service calls.
