FAQs
What types of garbage disposal problems can Honest Solutions Plumbing repair in Tellico Plains?
Our technicians handle every common disposal issue: jammed or seized flywheels, humming but non-spinning motors, electrical faults, persistent leaks under the sink, foul odors caused by trapped food, and full drain line blockages. We also replace cracked housings and worn splash guards, so whether the unit needs a quick reset or major part replacement, we have you covered.
How fast can you get to my Tellico Plains home for a garbage disposal repair?
Because we are based right here in Monroe County, we offer same-day appointments for calls received before 2 p.m. and 24⁄7 emergency dispatch for severe leaks or backed-up sinks. Typical travel time anywhere in Tellico Plains is 30–45 minutes once a service window is confirmed.
Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?
A repair usually makes sense when the unit is less than 8–10 years old and the problem is limited to a jam, minor leak, or replaceable component such as a gasket, flywheel, or reset switch. If the motor is burned out, the grinding chamber is cracked, or the disposal is over 10 years old and under 1⁄2 HP, replacement is more cost-effective. Our plumber will inspect the unit, explain the findings, and provide both repair and replacement estimates so you can decide confidently.
How much does garbage disposal repair cost with Honest Solutions Plumbing in Tellico Plains?
Most repairs fall between $125 and $300, including the service call, labor, and common parts. Complex issues—such as motor replacement or extensive drain clearing—can be higher, while simple jams that require no parts may be lower. You always receive a written, upfront quote before work begins, and there are no hidden fees.
What maintenance tips will help my garbage disposal last longer after the repair?
1) Always run a strong stream of cold water before, during, and 15 seconds after grinding. 2) Feed waste gradually rather than all at once. 3) Avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), grease, and expandable items like pasta or rice. 4) Freshen the unit weekly by grinding a handful of ice cubes followed by citrus peels. 5) Once a month, pour a half cup of baking soda followed by a cup of white vinegar, let it fizz for 10 minutes, then rinse with hot water.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured, and do you guarantee your garbage disposal repairs?
Yes. Every Honest Solutions Plumbing technician holds a Tennessee state plumbing license, is fully insured, and has undergone background and drug screening. We back our garbage disposal repairs with a 1-year labor warranty and honor all manufacturer warranties on any new parts we install, giving you complete peace of mind.
