FAQs
What are the most common garbage disposal problems you repair in Tellico Plains?
Our plumbers frequently handle jammed impellers, seized motors that only hum, persistent drain clogs, leaks at the sink flange or discharge tube, and units that won’t power on at all. We carry the most common replacement parts on our trucks so repairs can usually be completed in a single visit.
How fast can you get a plumber to my home for garbage disposal repair?
Because we’re based right here in Tellico Plains, we offer true same-day service. Calls received before 2 p.m. are almost always handled the same day, and after-hours emergency service is available 24/7 for severe leaks or backed-up sinks.
Should I try to fix a jammed disposal myself before calling you?
You can safely attempt two things: press the red reset button on the bottom of the unit and use a 1⁄4-inch Allen wrench in the flywheel slot to gently turn the impeller. Never put your hand inside the chamber. If those steps don’t work or the unit keeps tripping the breaker, shut off power and call us to avoid motor damage or personal injury.
How much does professional garbage disposal repair typically cost in the Tellico Plains area?
Simple fixes like clearing a jam or replacing a gasket usually fall in the $95–$140 range. Motor or wiring repairs average $150–$225. We provide a firm, up-front price after diagnosis, and our service call fee is waived when you approve the repair.
Is it better to repair or replace an older garbage disposal?
If your disposal is over 8–10 years old, has recurring motor issues, or the repair exceeds 50 % of the cost of a new unit, replacement is usually the smarter investment. We stock several energy-efficient, quiet-grind models and can install a new unit the same day.
Do you guarantee your garbage disposal repairs?
Yes. All labor is covered by a 1-year workmanship warranty, and any replacement parts come with the manufacturer’s warranty—typically 1–5 years. If the same problem reoccurs within the warranty period, we’ll return and fix it at no charge.
