FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?
In Tazewell homes, the usual red flags include loud grinding or humming noises, frequent jams, water leaking from the unit or under the sink, foul odors that don’t go away after cleaning, and slow-draining water in the sink. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to shut off the disposal and call a licensed plumber right away to prevent further damage.
Do you offer same-day garbage disposal repair services in Tazewell?
Yes. We keep technicians on call throughout the day, so if you contact us before 2 p.m. we can usually provide same-day service anywhere in Tazewell or the surrounding communities. For after-hours emergencies, we also offer 24/7 dispatch (an additional fee may apply).
How much does it typically cost to repair versus replace a garbage disposal?
Repair costs in Tazewell generally range from $125 to $250, depending on the complexity of the problem (jam removal is on the low end, motor replacement on the high end). A full replacement, including parts and labor, usually starts around $325 for a basic 1/3-hp unit and can exceed $550 for higher-horsepower, stainless-steel models. We’ll always give you an upfront, written estimate so you can decide whether repair or replacement makes better financial sense.
Can I keep running my disposal if it’s humming but not grinding?
No. A humming sound with no grinding usually means the flywheel is stuck or the motor capacitor is failing. Continuing to run the unit can overheat the motor and trip the circuit or even burn out the disposal completely. Turn the unit off at the wall switch and breaker, and schedule a service call as soon as possible.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured to work in Tazewell?
Absolutely. Every technician holds a Virginia/Tennessee state plumbing license (depending on service area) and is fully insured for liability and workers’ compensation. We also background-check all employees and train them specifically in garbage disposal diagnostics, repair, and installation.
What can I do to keep my garbage disposal running smoothly after it’s repaired?
Run cold water during and for 15–30 seconds after using the disposal, feed food waste gradually, and avoid fibrous items like celery, corn husks, and potato peels. Once a month, grind ice cubes followed by a handful of citrus peels to keep the blades sharp and freshen the chamber. Finally, schedule an annual plumbing inspection so small issues can be caught before they turn into major repairs.
