FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?
Typical red flags include persistent clogs, humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit or under the sink, frequent circuit resets, foul odors that won’t rinse away, and unusual noises such as metal-on-metal scraping. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to shut the disposal off and schedule a professional inspection to prevent further damage.
How quickly can Peace of Mind Plumbing respond to a garbage disposal emergency in Rutledge?
We offer same-day service for most calls placed before 2 p.m. and 24/7 emergency dispatch for after-hours problems. Because our technicians live and work in the Rutledge area, average on-site response time is typically 60–90 minutes for emergency visits and within one business day for standard appointments.
Is it safe to try fixing my garbage disposal myself, or should I call a professional?
Simple tasks like pressing the reset button or gently clearing visible obstructions with tongs can be done safely with the unit powered off. However, electrical and mechanical repairs—such as replacing a motor, flywheel, or seals—require specialized tools and training. Improper DIY work can void the manufacturer warranty and potentially cause water damage or personal injury. When in doubt, call a licensed Peace of Mind Plumbing technician.
Which garbage disposal brands do you service and repair?
Our team is trained to work on all major residential brands, including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, and Badger models. We also carry common OEM replacement parts on our service vehicles, allowing most repairs to be completed in one visit.
How much does garbage disposal repair cost in Rutledge?
Minor repairs such as jam removal or reset typically range from $99 to $150. Mid-level repairs involving seal or flange replacement generally cost $175–$250, while major motor or flywheel repairs can range from $250–$400. After an on-site diagnostic, we provide a written, flat-rate quote so you know the exact price before any work begins—no hidden fees.
What can I do to extend the life of my garbage disposal after it’s repaired?
Run cold water for 15–30 seconds before and after use, feed scraps gradually, and avoid fibrous foods (corn husks, celery), hard items (bones, fruit pits), and grease or oils. Once a month, grind ice cubes and a small amount of rock salt to clean the blades, followed by a citrus rind for odor control. Schedule annual check-ups with Peace of Mind Plumbing to ensure seals, connections, and electrical components remain in top condition.
