What the visit costs

The service call fee is quoted before the visit is booked, and you get a written estimate with the total price before any repair starts. Every repair comes with a warranty on the work, written on your invoice.

  • Service call fee quoted first. A service dealer must quote the charge for a service call before making it.
  • Written estimate before repair. You must be given a written estimate that includes the total price before the repair starts.
  • No charge for unauthorized work. You are not liable for any repair charge you did not authorize. If more parts or labor are needed, the new total has to be approved by you first.
  • Replaced parts returned. Replaced parts must be returned to you on request, except parts that are unsafe, toxic or exchanged for a rebuilt part.

Garbage Disposal Repair FAQ

How do I reset a garbage disposal?

Turn the switch off. Press the red reset button on the bottom of the unit. If it hums but does not spin, insert a 1/4 inch hex key in the socket on the bottom center and work it back and forth to free the jam, then press reset again. Never put a hand inside.

My new dishwasher will not drain after a disposal swap. Why?

New disposals ship with a plug in the dishwasher inlet. If it is not knocked out before the drain hose is connected, the dishwasher cannot drain. It is a five-minute fix.

Repair or replace a leaking disposal?

A leak at the sink flange or a hose connection is repairable. A leak from the bottom of the housing means the internal seal has failed, and replacement is the only fix.

How much does garbage disposal repair cost?

The service call fee is quoted before the visit is booked, and you get a written estimate with the total price before any repair starts.
