FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?
Frequent jams, unusual grinding or humming noises, foul odors that persist after cleaning, water leaking from the unit or cabinet, and the disposal failing to turn on or immediately tripping the reset button are all indicators that something is wrong. If you notice any of these issues in your Reliance home, it’s best to shut the unit off and call our plumbers to prevent further damage.
Can my garbage disposal be repaired, or will it need to be replaced?
In many cases, problems such as loose mounting hardware, worn gaskets, stuck flywheels, or minor electrical faults can be repaired quickly. However, if the motor has burned out, the metal grinding plate is cracked, or the unit is more than 8–10 years old, replacement is usually more cost-effective. Our technician will inspect the disposal on-site, give you an honest assessment, and outline your repair versus replacement options.
How soon can your Reliance plumbers respond to a garbage disposal emergency?
We offer same-day service throughout Reliance for garbage disposal repairs. If you call before noon, we can usually arrive within a 2-hour window. For after-hours leaks or complete disposal failures that threaten flooding, we provide 24/7 emergency dispatch. Just let our dispatcher know it’s an emergency, and we’ll prioritize your call.
Is there anything I should do before the technician arrives?
For safety, switch off the disposal at the wall and the breaker panel if accessible. Clear out the under-sink area so the plumber has room to work. Avoid using the dishwasher (it shares the drain line) and refrain from pouring chemical drain cleaners into the disposal, as they can corrode internal parts and create a hazard for our technician.
Do your garbage disposal repairs come with a warranty?
Yes. All labor is covered by a 1-year workmanship guarantee, and any replacement parts we install carry the manufacturer’s warranty (typically 1–5 years). If the same problem recurs within the warranty period, simply give us a call and we’ll return to make it right at no charge.
How can I prevent future clogs or breakdowns in my garbage disposal?
Run cold water before, during, and after grinding to solidify and flush fats. Feed food scraps slowly rather than all at once. Avoid fibrous items (celery, corn husks), starchy foods (potato peels, pasta), coffee grounds, and grease. Once a month, grind a handful of ice cubes with a slice of lemon to clean the blades and freshen the unit. Regular preventive habits paired with our annual plumbing maintenance plan will help your disposal last longer and run more quietly.
