FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
If you notice persistent clogs, loud grinding or humming noises, water leaking under the sink, bad odors that don’t go away after cleaning, or the unit won’t turn on at all, it’s time to call a professional. In Pelham, mineral-rich water can also accelerate corrosion, so sudden rust around the disposal flange or housing is another warning sign.
Can your Pelham plumbing team repair any brand or model of garbage disposal, or will I need a replacement?
Our licensed plumbers service every major brand sold in Westchester County, including InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King, GE, KitchenAid, and Badger. We carry a full stock of replacement parts on the truck, which means most repairs are completed in one visit. If the motor is burned out, the grind chamber is cracked, or the unit is more than 10–12 years old, we’ll give you honest replacement options and let you decide what’s best for your budget.
How much should I expect to pay for garbage disposal repair in Pelham?
Typical repairs—such as unjamming the flywheel, replacing a splash guard, or installing a new power switch—range from $125 to $250, parts and labor included. More extensive work, like replacing a seized motor or repairing a leak that requires removing the unit, can cost $250–$400. We provide up-front, flat-rate pricing after a quick on-site diagnosis, so you’ll never face surprise charges.
How fast can you get my kitchen back up and running?
Because a broken disposal can shut down your whole kitchen, we prioritize same-day service calls in Pelham and neighboring villages. If you call before noon, we can usually dispatch a technician within a two-hour window. Emergency after-hours service is available 24/7 for an additional fee, and most repairs take less than an hour once we arrive.
What maintenance tips can keep my garbage disposal running smoothly after the repair?
Run cold water for 15–20 seconds before and after each use, feed food scraps gradually, and avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), starchy masses (large potato peels, pasta), and grease or oil. Every two weeks, grind a tray of ice cubes with a handful of rock salt to scour the grind chamber, then follow up with a slice of lemon for freshness. Finally, schedule an annual inspection—often combined with your fall plumbing tune-up—to catch minor issues early.
Are repairs covered by warranty, and do you guarantee your work?
Most disposals come with a 2- to 5-year manufacturer’s warranty covering the motor and grind elements; we’ll check your model and process any valid claim on your behalf. In addition, our company backs every repair with a 1-year parts and labor guarantee. If the same problem recurs within 12 months, we’ll fix it at no charge. All technicians are fully insured and certified to work in Pelham, giving you extra peace of mind.
