FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Warning signs include persistent humming without grinding, repeated tripping of the reset button or circuit breaker, water leaking from the unit or the sink flange, foul odors that won’t go away after cleaning, and slow drainage or frequent clogs in the kitchen sink. If you notice any of these issues in your Wartburg home, it’s best to shut the unit off and call our licensed plumbers before further damage occurs.
Can you service or replace any brand or model of garbage disposal in Wartburg?
Yes. Our technicians carry parts for major brands such as InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King, KitchenAid, and GE. Whether your disposal is a compact 1⁄3-HP unit or a heavy-duty 1-HP model, we stock the right seals, flanges, splash guards, motors, and electrical components to handle repairs on the spot. If replacement is the better option, we can install a new disposal matched to your sink configuration and household needs.
How quickly can you respond to a garbage disposal emergency in Wartburg?
We offer same-day appointments Monday through Saturday and 24/7 emergency service for severe leaks, electrical faults, or backups that threaten to flood your kitchen. In most cases, a licensed plumber can be at your Wartburg address within 60–90 minutes of your call, fully equipped to diagnose and repair the problem during a single visit.
Is it more cost-effective to repair or replace an older, jammed garbage disposal?
If the unit is under 7–8 years old and the motor is still in good condition, repairs such as clearing a jam, replacing an impeller plate, or fixing a leaking gasket are usually economical. However, if the disposal is 10 years old or more, has significant corrosion, or the motor is burnt out, replacement generally saves you money in the long run. We provide transparent estimates for both options so you can make an informed decision.
What items should never go down a garbage disposal to avoid future repairs?
Avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks, onion skins), starchy items that swell (rice, pasta, potato peels), grease or cooking oil, coffee grounds, eggshells, fruit pits, bones, metal, plastic, and harsh chemicals. Run cold water before, during, and after use to help flush particles, and feed waste slowly rather than all at once to prevent jams and clogs.
Do you offer warranties or maintenance plans for garbage disposal repairs and installations?
All repairs come with a one-year parts-and-labor warranty. New disposals we install carry the manufacturer’s warranty—typically 3–10 years—plus our own 2-year labor guarantee. For added peace of mind, Wartburg homeowners can enroll in our annual kitchen drain maintenance plan, which includes a disposal tune-up, drain line inspection, and priority scheduling at a discounted rate.
