FAQs
How can I tell whether my garbage disposal needs repair or full replacement?
Common signs you need service include humming without grinding, persistent clogs, water leaking from the unit or sink flange, bad odors that won’t clear, or the reset button tripping frequently. In most cases our Sewanee technicians can fix jammed impellers, worn seals, or minor electrical issues the same day. We recommend replacement only when the motor has burned out, the grinding chamber is cracked, or the unit is over 10–12 years old and parts are no longer available. During our visit we’ll run diagnostics, show you the results, and explain whether a cost-effective repair or a new disposal makes better sense.
What brands and models of garbage disposals do you service in Sewanee?
Our licensed plumbers are factory-trained to work on all major residential and light-commercial units, including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, Whirlpool, and Badger series. We carry a full stock of gaskets, splash guards, and switches in our service vans, so most fixes can be completed without a return trip. If you have an older or less common model, let us know the serial number when you book and we’ll bring any special parts that might be required.
Can I get same-day garbage disposal repair in Sewanee, TN?
Yes. We offer same-day appointments Monday through Saturday for calls booked before 2 p.m. Because our dispatch center is located right on Highway 41A, a technician is usually at your door within 90 minutes for Sewanee addresses. Emergency after-hours service is also available 24/7 for active leaks or disposal backups that threaten water damage. Simply call our hotline and press 1 for immediate assistance.
How much will the repair cost, and do you provide upfront pricing?
Most routine garbage disposal repairs in Sewanee range between $95 and $225, depending on the part that failed and the time required. Before we start any work, your plumber will perform a no-fee inspection and present a written, flat-rate quote that includes labor, parts, and taxes—no surprises at checkout. We also waive the service call fee if you proceed with the repair during the same visit.
What maintenance steps should I follow after the disposal is fixed?
• Run cold water for 15–30 seconds before and after grinding to flush food particles. • Feed small amounts of food at a time; avoid fibrous items like corn husks, celery strings, or onion skins. • Once a month grind a tray of ice cubes and a handful of rock salt to clean the impellers. • Deodorize naturally by grinding citrus peels or running a baking-soda‐and-vinegar rinse. • Never pour grease, fats, or expandable foods such as rice into the disposal. Following these tips extends the life of your unit and keeps your Sewanee drains flowing freely.
Are your Sewanee plumbers licensed and insured, and do you guarantee your work?
Absolutely. Every technician holds a State of Tennessee journeyman or master plumbing license, carries full liability and workers’ compensation coverage, and passes annual background checks. All garbage disposal repairs are backed by our 1-year parts and labor warranty, along with our 100 % Customer Satisfaction Pledge—if the same issue reoccurs within one year, we return and make it right at no extra cost.
