FAQs
What are the most common signs my garbage disposal needs repair?
Slow draining, loud grinding or metal-on-metal noises, frequent tripping of the reset button, persistent odors, leaks under the sink, or the unit not turning on at all are typical indicators. If you notice any of these issues in your Pikeville home, it’s best to shut the unit off and call our licensed technicians right away to prevent further damage.
Do you service all brands and models of garbage disposals in Pikeville?
Yes. Our Pikeville plumbing team is factory-trained to diagnose and repair every major disposal brand, including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, and more. We carry a wide range of OEM replacement parts on our service trucks so we can complete most repairs in a single visit, regardless of the model or horsepower rating.
Can I try to unclog or fix my garbage disposal myself?
Minor jams can sometimes be cleared by pressing the reset button or using the included Allen wrench to manually turn the flywheel. However, inserting hands or improvised tools into the chamber is dangerous and often causes worse damage. If the reset doesn't work, the safest and most cost-effective approach is to let a qualified plumber handle the repair with the proper tools and expertise.
How quickly can your Pikeville technicians respond to a garbage disposal emergency?
We offer same-day service throughout Pikeville and the surrounding communities. For emergencies—such as active leaks or a completely inoperative unit—we strive to arrive within 2–4 hours of your call, even on weekends. Our dispatch team will provide an accurate arrival window and keep you updated in real time.
What does your garbage disposal repair service typically cost?
Repair costs vary based on the problem’s complexity and any parts required, but most service calls in Pikeville fall between $125 and $250, including diagnostics, labor, and common replacement components. Before any work begins, our technician will present a flat-rate, no-surprise quote so you know exactly what to expect.
Should I repair or replace an old garbage disposal?
If your unit is over 8–10 years old, needs frequent resets, or has a cracked housing or burnt-out motor, replacement is usually more economical than repeated repairs. Newer models are quieter, more energy efficient, and come with longer warranties. Our plumbers will inspect the unit, discuss options, and help you decide whether a repair or a cost-effective replacement best fits your household’s needs.
