FAQs
What are common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Warning signs include persistent clogs, loud grinding or humming noises, water leaking from the unit or the sink drain, frequent resets, and a disposal that won’t turn on at all. If you notice a burning smell from the motor or the circuit breaker trips repeatedly, shut the unit off and call our licensed Spring City technicians right away—continuing to use a faulty disposal can damage your plumbing and electrical systems.
Can a jammed garbage disposal be fixed without replacing it?
In many cases, yes. Our technicians first cut power to the unit, then use a specialty disposal wrench to turn the flywheel and free stubborn jams caused by bones, silverware, or fibrous foods. We also check the overload protector, remove any lodged debris, and test the motor and wiring. These steps usually restore normal operation without replacement; we only recommend a new unit if the motor is burned out or the grinding chamber is cracked.
How quickly can your Spring City technicians arrive for emergency garbage disposal service?
We offer same-day service throughout Spring City and the surrounding townships. For calls placed before 2 p.m., a licensed plumber can generally be on-site within 2–4 hours. After-hours or weekend emergencies are handled by our on-call team, typically arriving within 60–90 minutes. Our fully stocked service vans carry common disposal parts, allowing us to complete most repairs in one visit.
Is it safe to run my dishwasher if the garbage disposal isn’t working properly?
It’s best to avoid running the dishwasher until the disposal is repaired. The dishwasher drains through the disposal’s discharge port; if the disposal is clogged or leaking, wastewater can back up into the sink or overflow onto the floor. Continuing to use the dishwasher may also force food debris deeper into the plumbing, causing larger blockages. Schedule a service call, and we’ll clear the obstruction and test both appliances before you run another cycle.
What items should never be put in a garbage disposal to prevent future breakdowns?
Avoid hard or fibrous foods such as bones, fruit pits, corn husks, celery, artichokes, and onion skins. Grease, fats, and oil should never be poured down because they solidify and coat pipes. Starchy items like potato peels, pasta, and rice can swell and cause jams. Coffee grounds and eggshells create gritty sludge that dulls blades. Finally, never place non-food items—glass, metal, plastic, or rubber—into the unit. Following these guidelines significantly reduces the risk of costly repairs.
Do you provide warranties on your garbage disposal repairs and parts in Spring City?
Yes. All labor performed by our Spring City technicians is backed by a written 1-year workmanship warranty. Replacement parts, including new disposal units, follow the manufacturer’s warranty (typically 2–5 years on the motor and grinding components). If any issue related to our repair arises during the warranty period, we will return promptly at no charge to make it right.
