FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Watch for persistent clogs, humming without grinding, water leaks under the sink, foul odors that won’t wash away, frequent resets, or the unit refusing to turn on at all. These symptoms usually indicate worn-out blades, a jammed flywheel, failed seals, or electrical problems—issues best diagnosed and fixed by a qualified plumber.
Is it safe to press the reset button or attempt minor fixes myself before calling a plumber?
You can safely press the red reset button on the bottom of the disposal after switching off the power and clearing visible obstructions with tongs (never your hand). If the unit still hums, trips the breaker, or stays unresponsive afterward, discontinue DIY efforts; continuous attempts can burn out the motor or worsen internal jams. At that point, professional service is the safest, most cost-effective step.
What foods or items should I avoid putting into the garbage disposal to prevent future repairs?
Never grind fibrous vegetables (celery, corn husks), starchy foods (potato peels, pasta, rice), coffee grounds, eggshells, bones, fruit pits, grease, or non-food items. These materials can tangle around the impellers, solidify and clog the drain line, or dull the blades—dramatically shortening the disposal’s lifespan and increasing the likelihood of repair calls.
How long does a typical garbage disposal repair visit take, and what will it cost in Newcomb?
Most repairs—jam removal, seal replacement, or minor electrical fixes—take 30–60 minutes on-site. More complex jobs, such as motor swaps or drain re-piping, may require 1–2 hours. In Newcomb, our trusted partner plumbers charge a standard diagnostic fee that’s waived if you approve the repair. Overall costs range from $120–$250 for common fixes, while major component replacements can reach $300–$400. You’ll receive an upfront, written quote before any work begins.
Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal if it’s over 10 years old?
Disposals typically last 8–15 years. If yours is a decade old and experiencing frequent breakdowns, excessive noise, or leaks that involve the shell or motor housing, replacement is usually more economical in the long run. However, for newer units or those with isolated issues—like a jammed impeller or faulty switch—a targeted repair can add years of reliable service at a fraction of replacement cost. Our technician will assess wear, model availability, and your budget to recommend the best option.
