FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?
Typical indicators include persistent clogs, loud grinding or metallic noises, water leaks beneath the sink, frequent resets, slow draining, foul odors that won’t go away after cleaning, and the unit refusing to turn on at all. If you notice any of these issues in your Winfield home, it’s best to schedule a professional inspection before the problem escalates.
Can I fix a jammed garbage disposal myself, or should I call a plumber?
Minor jams can sometimes be cleared safely by turning off the power, using the reset button, and freeing the impeller with an offset hex key or wooden dowel. However, if the jam is severe, the unit hums without turning, or you suspect a foreign object (metal, glass) is stuck, calling a licensed Winfield plumber is safer. DIY attempts with improper tools can damage the motor or cause personal injury.
How quickly can your Winfield plumbing team repair my garbage disposal?
For most service calls in Winfield, we offer same-day appointments and arrive within a two-hour window. Standard repairs—such as clearing jams, replacing seals, or fixing wiring—are often completed in under an hour. If parts need ordering, we’ll provide a temporary solution and return as soon as the components arrive, usually within 24–48 hours.
Which brands of garbage disposals do you service and repair?
Our technicians are trained to service all major garbage disposal brands, including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, Whirlpool, and Badger models. We also handle less-common and commercial units. Whether your disposal is still under warranty or over a decade old, we have access to OEM and high-quality aftermarket parts to ensure a reliable repair.
Is it more cost-effective to repair or replace a failing garbage disposal?
If your disposal is under seven years old and the damage is limited to a jam, loose wiring, or worn seals, repair is usually the economical choice. However, replacement is recommended when the motor is burned out, the grinding chamber is cracked, or multiple parts have failed—and especially if the unit is 8–12 years old. Our Winfield plumbers provide upfront estimates for both options so you can make an informed decision.
What preventive maintenance can I do to avoid future garbage disposal problems?
Run cold water before, during, and after use to flush food particles; feed scraps slowly rather than all at once; avoid fibrous foods, grease, coffee grounds, and hard items like bones or fruit pits; clean monthly with ice cubes, rock salt, and a lemon slice to sharpen blades and freshen the unit; and periodically check for leaks under the sink. Annual professional inspections catch small issues early and keep your disposal running smoothly for years.
