FAQs
How does your transparent pricing work for garbage-disposal repair in Oneida?
Before any work begins, our technician diagnoses the problem, explains the repair options, and shows you a printed price sheet that lists flat-rate costs for each task. The quoted price already includes labor, standard parts, trip charge inside the Oneida service area (13421 and neighboring ZIP codes), and sales tax—so the amount you see is the amount you pay. You approve the price on our tablet, we email the estimate to you for your records, and we never add surprise fees after the job is finished.
What are the most common signs my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Call us if you notice any of the following: (1) a humming motor but no grinding action, which often indicates a seized flywheel; (2) persistent leaks from the bottom or side of the disposal; (3) frequent tripped breakers or the reset button popping out; (4) foul odors that don’t go away after cleaning; (5) water backing up into the sink or dishwasher; or (6) loud metal-on-metal noises. Addressing these issues early can prevent motor burnout and costly water damage under the sink.
How quickly can you get to my home in Oneida for a disposal repair?
We offer same-day service Monday through Saturday on calls booked before noon and 24/7 emergency coverage for severe leaks or electrical hazards. For standard appointments, you’ll receive a two-hour arrival window (e.g., 10 a.m.–noon). Our dispatcher texts you when the plumber is 30 minutes away, so you’re not stuck waiting all day. Most repairs are completed in one visit because our trucks carry replacement splash guards, gaskets, wiring harnesses, and the most popular 1/2- to 3/4-hp units.
Do you guarantee your garbage-disposal repairs and replacement parts?
Yes. All labor is covered by our 1-year workmanship warranty. Factory parts we install carry the manufacturer’s warranty—typically 1 to 5 years depending on brand and model. If a repaired component fails within the warranty period, we fix or replace it at no charge. You’ll receive a digital copy of all warranty terms on your invoice for easy reference.
Is there anything I should try before calling a plumber?
You can safely troubleshoot with two steps: (1) Press the red reset button on the bottom of the unit to clear an internal overload; (2) Insert a 1/4-inch Allen wrench into the flywheel opening underneath and gently turn it to dislodge jams (unplug the disposal first). Never stick your hand inside the chamber, use chemical drain cleaners, or continue powering a humming motor for more than a few seconds—those actions can damage the unit or injure you. If the disposal still won’t run, hums loudly, or leaks, it’s time to call our licensed technician.
What brands and models do you service or replace?
Our plumbers are trained on InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King, GE, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, and Badger series units ranging from basic 1/3-hp models to premium 1-hp continuous-feed disposers. We stock OEM repair kits, flanges, and cords for the brands most common in Oneida homes, and we can order specialty parts overnight if needed. If replacement makes more financial sense, we’ll present at least three new-unit options—good, better, and best—along with their flat prices so you can choose what fits your budget and usage needs.
