FAQs
What are the most common signs my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
If you notice persistent clogs, humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit or under the sink, foul odors that won’t go away after cleaning, or the disposal tripping the circuit breaker, it’s time to call a technician. These symptoms often point to worn‐out seals, jammed flywheels, damaged wiring, or motor failure—issues that require experienced hands and specialized tools to fix safely.
Do your technicians service every brand and model of garbage disposal in Robbins?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers are trained on all major brands, including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, and GE, as well as less common or discontinued units. We keep a wide inventory of replacement parts on our service vehicles, so most repairs can be completed during the first visit, regardless of the manufacturer or horsepower rating.
How fast can you get to my Robbins home if my garbage disposal stops working?
We offer same-day appointments throughout Robbins and surrounding neighborhoods. For no-water or major leak emergencies, we prioritize calls and can usually have a technician at your door within two hours. Our dispatch system tracks real-time technician locations, allowing us to route the nearest available expert to you quickly.
What should I do before the technician arrives?
First, turn off the disposal switch and unplug the unit—or cut power at the breaker box—to prevent accidental starts. Avoid putting additional food down the drain and do not reach inside the disposal with your hand. If there’s a leak, place a bucket or towels under the sink to catch water. These simple steps keep you safe and help minimize damage until we arrive.
Will I know the repair cost upfront, and do you guarantee your work?
Absolutely. After diagnosing the problem, our technician will present a written, flat-rate quote that includes parts, labor, and tax—no hidden fees. Once you approve, we proceed with the repair. We back our workmanship with a one-year parts and labor warranty, and many replacement components carry additional manufacturer warranties.
Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?
A repair usually makes sense when the unit is under eight years old, the motor is still strong, and the issue is limited to a jam, worn gasket, or minor electrical fault. Replacement is recommended if the motor has burned out, the grinding chamber is cracked, rust is extensive, or the unit is over ten years old and frequently breaking down. Our technician will explain the pros, cons, and costs of each option so you can make an informed decision tailored to your budget and household needs.
