FAQs
What kinds of garbage disposal problems can you fix?
Our licensed plumbers can diagnose and repair virtually any disposal issue, including jammed flywheels, seized motors, persistent clogs, humming units that won’t spin, leaks at the sink flange or discharge tube, bad odors caused by trapped food, and electrical problems such as tripped reset buttons or faulty wall switches. If a repair is not cost-effective, we’ll explain why and discuss replacement options.
How much does garbage disposal repair cost in New Market?
Most common repairs fall between $95 and $225, depending on the complexity of the problem, the cost of any replacement parts, and how easily we can access your plumbing. After a no-obligation inspection, we provide a flat, upfront quote so you’ll know the exact price before work begins—no hidden fees, weekend surcharges, or mileage charges inside the New Market area.
Can you provide same-day or emergency service?
Yes. We keep fully stocked service vehicles in the New Market/Frederick County area, allowing us to reach most homes the same day you call. Emergency appointments outside normal business hours are available 24/7 for situations involving major leaks, electrical hazards, or total loss of kitchen drainage.
Is it better to repair or replace an older disposal?
If your unit is less than 8 years old and the motor isn’t burned out, a repair is often the most cost-effective route. However, if the disposal has significant rust, chronic leaks, or repair costs that exceed 50% of the price of a new unit, replacement generally offers better value and longer warranty coverage. We’ll lay out both options so you can make an informed choice.
How long does a typical garbage disposal repair take?
Most repairs are completed in 45–90 minutes. Simple jams may be fixed in under half an hour, while jobs requiring seal or flange replacement can take a bit longer. Because we arrive with common parts (gaskets, splash guards, wiring, drain fittings) on hand, follow-up visits are rarely necessary.
What maintenance tips will help me avoid future disposal problems?
Run cold water before, during, and 15–20 seconds after grinding; feed food scraps gradually rather than in large batches; avoid fibrous items like celery, corn husks, and onion skins; never pour grease or fats down the drain; freshen the unit monthly by grinding ice cubes and citrus peels; and press the reset button if the motor overheats instead of repeatedly toggling the switch. Scheduling an annual plumbing checkup with us can also spot small issues before they become expensive repairs.
