FAQs
What are the most common signs my garbage disposal needs repair?
Warning signs include persistent clogs, slow drainage, humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit or sink flange, foul odors that don’t clear with cleaning, and the need to repeatedly press the reset button. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to have a professional inspect the disposal before further damage occurs.
Is it safe to keep running my disposal if it’s just humming?
No. A humming noise usually means the motor is receiving power but the flywheel is jammed. Continuing to run it can overheat the motor, trip the built-in thermal overload, or cause permanent damage. Turn the unit off, cut power at the breaker if possible, and call a qualified plumber to clear the jam safely.
How quickly can your plumbers get to my home in Petros for garbage disposal repairs?
We offer same-day service throughout Petros for most disposal emergencies. When you call before 2 p.m., a licensed technician can typically be at your door within a 2-hour arrival window. For after-hours or weekend problems, we provide 24/7 emergency response at a slightly higher rate.
Do you service all brands and models of garbage disposals?
Yes. Our technicians are trained to repair or replace all major brands, including InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King, GE, KitchenAid, and more. We keep a stock of common parts on our trucks, which allows us to complete most repairs in one visit regardless of the unit’s make or horsepower rating.
How much does a typical garbage disposal repair cost in Petros?
Most minor repairs—such as unjamming, replacing a splash guard, or tightening loose fittings—range from $95 to $175, including the service call. Repairs that involve motor replacement, leak correction, or electrical rewiring can run $200 to $350. We provide a written, upfront quote after inspection so you know the exact cost before any work begins.
Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?
If your disposal is under 7 years old and the problem is minor (jam, worn gasket, or loose wiring), repair is usually the most economical choice. However, units over 10 years old, those with a burnt-out motor, cracked housing, or frequent clogs often cost more to fix than to replace. During our visit, we’ll assess the unit’s condition, give you both options with pricing, and help you decide what makes financial sense.
