FAQs
What are the most common garbage disposal problems you fix in Walland homes?
Our seasoned technicians handle jammed or humming units, leaks at the sink flange or discharge tube, worn-out seals, broken impellers, tripped overload protectors, and electrical or switch failures. Because we stock most replacement parts on our service trucks, we can usually diagnose and repair these issues in a single visit anywhere in the greater Walland area.
How do I know whether my garbage disposal needs repair or full replacement?
Age and damage level are the key factors. If your disposal is less than 8–10 years old and the motor housing is intact, a repair is often cost-effective. We recommend replacement when the motor is burned out, the grinding chamber is cracked, or repair costs exceed 50 % of the price of a new unit. During our inspection, we give you a clear, written comparison so you can decide with confidence.
Can I keep running the unit if it just hums but won’t grind?
No. A humming sound usually means the flywheel is jammed. Continuing to run the motor can overheat and permanently burn it out. Turn the disposal off, cut power at the breaker, and try clearing the jam with the hex wrench that came with the unit. If that doesn’t free the flywheel, call us. We offer same-day emergency service in Walland to prevent further damage.
What should I do before your technician arrives to repair my disposal?
Shut off power to the disposal at the wall switch and, for extra safety, at the circuit breaker. Avoid using the sink so food particles and water don’t back up. If you have stored items under the sink, please clear a small working area so our technician can access the disposal and plumbing connections quickly. No other preparation is needed—we bring drop cloths, lighting, and all necessary tools.
How much does garbage disposal repair typically cost in the Walland area?
Minor fixes such as clearing a jam or replacing a flange gasket start around $95. Mid-level repairs like seal replacement, switch wiring, or re-piping usually range from $150 to $225. Motor or chamber repairs can run $250–$350. Youʼll always receive an upfront, flat-rate quote after our diagnostic, and there are never hidden travel fees for customers in Walland or nearby Townsend and Maryville.
Do you offer any warranties or guarantees on garbage disposal repairs?
Yes. All labor is backed by our 1-year workmanship warranty, and any parts we install carry the manufacturer’s warranty, typically 1–5 years. If the same problem reoccurs within the warranty period, we return at no charge to make it right. We’re also fully licensed and insured for your peace of mind.
