FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Watch for persistent clogs, humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit, foul odors that won’t go away, or the disposal tripping the circuit breaker. If you notice any of these issues in your Sparta home, it’s best to schedule a service call so we can diagnose the problem before additional damage occurs.
Can my garbage disposal be repaired, or will it need to be replaced?
Many problems—such as jammed impellers, loose wiring, or minor leaks—can be repaired quickly. However, if the motor has burned out, the grinding chamber is cracked, or the unit is over 10–12 years old, replacement is usually more cost-effective. Our technicians will inspect your disposal on-site and provide an honest recommendation based on its condition and your budget.
How fast can Lasting Repairs Plumbing respond to a garbage disposal emergency in Sparta?
For most addresses in Sparta, we offer same-day service if you call before 2 p.m. For after-hours emergencies, our on-call plumber can typically be at your door within two hours. We stock common replacement parts on our trucks so we can complete many repairs in a single visit.
What should I do if my garbage disposal is clogged or jammed?
First, turn off the unit and disconnect power at the breaker to ensure safety. Use tongs or pliers—never your hand—to remove visible debris. You can also insert the provided hex key into the bottom of the disposal and turn it clockwise to free a jammed flywheel. If these steps don’t restore operation, call us. Continued attempts to run a jammed disposal can burn out the motor or damage pipes.
Do you provide any warranty on your garbage disposal repair services?
Yes. All parts we install are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, and our workmanship is guaranteed for one year. If the same issue recurs within that period, we will return and correct it at no additional charge. New disposal installations come with extended warranty options of up to five years.
How can I prevent future garbage disposal problems?
Run cold water before, during, and after grinding food; cut large scraps into smaller pieces; avoid fibrous foods like celery, potato peels, and corn husks; never pour grease or fats down the disposal; and once a month grind ice cubes with a little rock salt to clean the blades. Regular maintenance visits from our Sparta team can also catch small issues before they become major repairs.
