Questions About Garbage Disposal Repair

What people ask most before they call.

Call (800) 555-0199
Why does my disposal hum but not spin?

Something is jamming the plates, or the motor is seizing. With the power off, the unit can often be freed from underneath with a hex key.

What should not go down a disposal?

Grease, bones, fruit pits, eggshells, coffee grounds, fibrous vegetables and pasta or rice in large amounts.

How long do disposals last?

Often around 8 to 15 years, depending on the model and how it is used.

How much will it cost?

The plumber gives you a price before any work starts. Prices are set by the plumber, not by us, and you are under no obligation to go ahead.

Are you a plumbing company?

No. We are a referral service. We connect you with independent local plumbers and may be paid for the referral. The plumber you speak to does the work.

Is the call free?

Yes. There is no charge to call or to get a quote. You only pay the plumber if you agree to the work.
