FAQs
What kinds of garbage disposal problems can your seasoned technicians repair in Pelham?
Our Pelham-based plumbers can diagnose and fix virtually any disposal issue, including jammed impellers, humming motors, slow or clogged drains, leaking seals, foul odors, worn splash guards, faulty reset buttons, and electrical connection problems. We work on all major brands and models, from compact under-sink units to heavy-duty continuous-feed disposals.
How quickly can you respond if my garbage disposal stops working?
Because we keep a dedicated repair crew in the Pelham area, most service calls are scheduled the same day you contact us—often within just a few hours for true emergencies such as kitchen backups or leaks that could cause water damage. Weekend and after-hours appointments are also available for an additional fee.
Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?
One of our technicians will evaluate the unit’s age, motor condition, and overall wear. If the disposal is under 8-10 years old and the motor windings, bearings, and housing are still sound, a cost-effective repair (such as clearing a jam, replacing a gasket, or installing a new switch) generally makes sense. If the motor is burned out, the grinding chamber is cracked, or parts are discontinued, replacement is usually the smarter long-term investment. We’ll give you a clear estimate for both options so you can decide.
What does a typical garbage disposal repair cost in Pelham?
Simple fixes like unjamming, resetting the overload, or replacing a worn splash guard start at about $125, including the service call. Mid-level repairs—such as installing a new flywheel, seal kit, or power cord—range from $175 to $275. Complex jobs involving motor rebuilds or extensive plumbing modifications can run $300 or more. We provide up-front, flat-rate pricing before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
Are your garbage disposal technicians licensed and insured?
Yes. Every plumber we dispatch holds a current Alabama journeyman or master plumbing license, carries state-required general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and receives ongoing factory training on the newest disposal technologies. You can feel confident that your kitchen, plumbing system, and home are fully protected.
How can I prevent future garbage disposal problems?
Run cold water before, during, and 20–30 seconds after grinding; feed food scraps slowly; avoid fibrous items (celery, corn husks), grease, bones, and large fruit pits; periodically grind a few ice cubes and citrus peels to clean the blades and freshen the chamber; and press the reset button if the unit overheats rather than repeatedly toggling the power switch. Scheduling an annual maintenance visit allows our Pelham technicians to check electrical connections, tighten mounting assemblies, and replace worn gaskets before they fail.
