FAQs
What are the most common warning signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Typical red flags include a loud humming sound without any grinding, repeated tripping of the reset button or circuit breaker, water leaking from the unit or the sink flange, persistent foul odors that don’t clear with cleaning, and slow drainage even after you’ve cleared visible debris. If you notice any of these issues in your Sharps Chapel home, it’s best to have our technicians inspect the disposal before more serious damage occurs.
Can I safely reset or unclog my garbage disposal on my own?
You can perform a basic reset by switching the disposal OFF, pressing the red reset button on the bottom of the unit, and then turning power back on. For minor jams, you may insert a ¼-inch Allen wrench into the flywheel hole underneath and turn it clockwise to free the impeller. However, if the unit immediately jams again, leaks, or trips the breaker, shut off the power and call Reliable Repairs Plumbing. Forcing stuck food or using harsh chemicals can strip gears, crack housings, or ruin seals, leading to costlier repairs.
How quickly can Reliable Repairs Plumbing get to my Sharps Chapel residence when my disposal stops working?
Because we’re based right here in Union County, our fully stocked service vans can typically reach any Sharps Chapel address within 60–90 minutes for emergency calls, and we offer same-day scheduling for non-urgent repairs made before noon. Weekend and evening appointments are also available at no extra charge, so you won’t have to wait days to restore your kitchen convenience.
Do your technicians carry replacement parts or new garbage disposals on the truck?
Yes. Each service vehicle is stocked with the most common disposal motors, flanges, splash guards, and electrical cords from leading brands such as InSinkErator, Waste King, and Moen. If your existing unit is beyond repair, we can install a new, energy-efficient model during the same visit, saving you an extra trip fee and downtime.
Is my garbage disposal repair covered by any warranty?
All labor performed by Reliable Repairs Plumbing comes with a 12-month workmanship warranty. If we install new parts or an entire disposal, you’ll also receive the manufacturer’s warranty, which ranges from 1 to 10 years depending on the model. Should any covered defect arise during that period, simply call us and we’ll correct the issue at no additional labor charge.
What steps can I take to prevent future jams, clogs, and odors after the repair?
Run cold water for 15 seconds before and after each use, feed small food scraps gradually, and avoid fibrous items (celery, corn husks), starchy foods (potato peels, rice), grease, and coffee grounds. Once a month, grind a tray of ice cubes with a handful of rock salt to scour the grinding chamber, then flush with a mix of baking soda and white vinegar to neutralize odors. Following these habits will help your freshly repaired disposal last many years.
