FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Warning signs include persistent clogs, loud grinding or rattling noises, water leaking from the unit or beneath the sink, frequent resets, a foul odor that won’t go away after cleaning, and the motor humming without spinning. If you notice any of these issues, shut off the disposal and call Precision & Care Plumbing so we can diagnose and fix the problem safely.
Can Precision & Care Plumbing repair any brand or model of garbage disposal in Pikeville?
Yes. Our licensed technicians stay current with all major disposal manufacturers—including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, and Whirlpool. We carry a comprehensive inventory of replacement parts on our service vehicles, allowing us to handle repairs on older, discontinued, and high-end models during the same visit whenever possible.
What should I do if my garbage disposal suddenly stops working?
First, turn off the power at the wall switch and never put your hand inside the unit. Check the reset button on the bottom of the disposal—if it has tripped, press it once. If that doesn’t restore function, look for a tripped circuit breaker in your electrical panel. Still no luck? Call us. A jammed flywheel, burned-out motor, or electrical fault could be to blame, and operating the unit further can cause additional damage or injury.
How quickly can Precision & Care Plumbing reach my home in Pikeville for a garbage disposal repair?
We provide same-day service for most Pikeville addresses when you call before noon, and 24/7 emergency availability for severe leaks or total kitchen drain backups. Our centrally located dispatch center lets us reach most neighborhoods within 60–90 minutes, fully equipped to diagnose and repair your disposal on the spot.
Is repairing a broken garbage disposal more cost-effective than replacing it?
In many cases, yes. Minor issues such as jammed impellers, worn splash guards, or leaking seals are inexpensive to fix and can extend the unit’s lifespan by several years. However, if the motor is burned out, the unit is over 10 years old, or the repair cost exceeds 50% of a new disposal, we may recommend replacement. During our visit, we’ll present clear pricing for both options so you can make an informed decision.
How can I prevent future clogs and damage after my disposal is repaired?
Run cold water before, during, and at least 15 seconds after grinding food; cut large scraps into smaller pieces; avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), starchy peels (potatoes), grease, coffee grounds, and eggshell membranes; feed waste gradually instead of all at once; and clean monthly by grinding ice cubes and citrus peels. These practices minimize jammed blades, buildup, and odors, helping your repaired disposal operate efficiently for years.
