FAQs
What are the most common signs my garbage disposal needs repair?
Typical warning signs include persistent humming without grinding, frequent tripping of the reset button, water leaking from the unit or the sink flange, slow drainage, and foul odors that don’t go away after cleaning. If you notice any of these issues in your Spring City home, it’s best to schedule a service call before the problem worsens and becomes more expensive to fix.
Can my garbage disposal be repaired, or will it need to be replaced?
About 70 % of the disposals we inspect in Spring City can be repaired cost-effectively. We start with a full diagnostic check to pinpoint whether the issue is electrical, mechanical, or related to a clog. If the motor is still in good shape and the housing isn’t cracked, a repair is usually your best value. When replacement is the cheaper long-term option—for example, when a worn motor or a corroded grinding chamber is involved—we’ll explain why and provide transparent pricing on both choices.
What does your repair process look like, and how much does it cost?
Our process starts with a flat-rate diagnostic fee that is waived when you approve the repair. A licensed technician will inspect the power supply, reset circuit, flywheel, impellers, and drain assembly. Most repairs—such as clearing jams, replacing seals, or swapping out a faulty switch—fall within our standard price range of $95–$185, including parts and labor. All pricing is quoted upfront, so you always know the total before we begin work.
How quickly can you get to my home in Spring City for garbage disposal repairs?
We offer same-day service for calls received before noon and next-day appointments for late-day requests. Our trucks are stocked with common parts (gaskets, flanges, splash guards, and switches), allowing us to complete 90 % of repairs in a single visit. For emergency leaks that threaten cabinets or flooring, we have a 24/7 on-call plumber who can arrive within two hours.
What steps can I take to keep my disposal running properly after it’s fixed?
Run cold water for at least 15 seconds before and after grinding food, avoid fibrous materials like corn husks and celery, and cut larger scraps into smaller pieces. Once a month, grind ice cubes followed by a mixture of baking soda and white vinegar to clean the chamber and neutralize odors. Never pour grease or cooking oils down the unit—let them cool and dispose of them in the trash instead. These habits can add years to your disposal’s lifespan and reduce future repair costs.
Do you offer any warranties or guarantees on garbage disposal repairs?
Yes. All standard repairs come with a 12-month parts-and-labor warranty, and any replacement units we install carry the manufacturer’s warranty (typically 3–5 years). If the same problem reappears within the warranty period, we’ll fix it at no additional charge. We also provide a detailed maintenance checklist so you can keep your disposal in top shape and avoid unnecessary expenses.
