FAQs
What are the most common garbage-disposal problems you repair in Norris?
Our technicians frequently address jammed impellers, seized motors, leaking sink flanges, worn-out splash guards, foul odors from bacterial buildup, and electrical issues such as tripped reset buttons or faulty wall switches. We carry OEM parts for major brands so most problems can be fixed in a single visit.
How can I tell whether my disposal needs repair or full replacement?
Age and damage level are the main factors. If the unit is under 8 years old and only jammed, leaking at a gasket, or producing unusual noises, repair is usually cost-effective. Units older than 10-12 years with cracked housings, chronic motor failures, or corroded grinding chambers generally merit replacement. During our diagnostic, we measure motor amperage, check for housing integrity, and compare repair costs to new-unit pricing so you can make an informed decision.
What should I do before calling a technician if my disposal suddenly stops?
1) Turn off the wall switch. 2) Press the red reset button on the bottom of the unit. 3) Inspect the breaker panel for a tripped breaker. 4) If the motor hums but doesn’t spin, insert a ¼-inch hex wrench in the underside flywheel slot and turn it both directions to free a jam. Never place your hand inside the chamber. If these steps don’t restore operation, schedule a service call so we can safely disassemble and repair the unit.
How quickly can you provide garbage-disposal service in the Norris area?
We offer same-day or next-morning appointments for most Norris ZIP codes. Emergencies such as severe leaks or backups receive priority dispatch within 2–3 hours. Our warehouse-on-wheels vans let us complete over 90 % of repairs on the first trip, minimizing downtime for your kitchen.
What items should I avoid putting in my disposal to prevent future repairs?
To prolong the life of your unit, keep fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), starchy masses (large potato peels, pasta), grease, oils, coffee grounds, eggshell membranes, fruit pits, bones, and non-food items out of the chamber. Run cold water before, during, and 15 seconds after grinding to flush particles through the drain line.
Do you warranty your garbage-disposal repairs?
Yes. All labor is backed by a 1-year workmanship warranty, and replacement parts follow the manufacturer’s warranty—typically 1–5 years depending on the brand. If a repaired component fails within our coverage period, we’ll return to Norris and correct the issue at no additional charge.
