What are the most common garbage disposal issues?

  • Jammed Disposal: One of the most common garbage disposal repairs in jammed or clogged disposals. This issue is usually caused by food scraps or other debris trapped in the disposal. We’ll clear any obstructions and restore proper function.
  • Leaking Disposal: Another common issue is leaking disposal. Improper connections, loose seals, damaged pipes, or other issues can lead to a leaking disposal. We can identify where the leak is coming from and make the necessary repairs to ensure the leak stops.
  • Malfunctioning Motor: If your garbage disposal motor is not working at all or making uncommon noises, the motor could be malfunctioning. This is a common problem in older garbage disposals. Our team can diagnose the malfunctioning garbage disposal motor and repair or replace the motor.
  • Electrical Issues: Electrical issues can cause the circuit breaker to trip or even cause the disposal to stop functioning altogether. Our team is experienced with electrical issues and can diagnose the issue and make all necessary repairs to ensure you have an operating garbage disposal once again.

How much will a garbage disposal repair cost in Richmond, VA?

The cost of repairing a garbage disposal depends on a few factors. The main factors include:

  • Nature of the Problem: Minor issues like jammed disposals or leaking disposals generally cost less to repair than major problems like a malfunctioning motor.
  • Garbage Disposal Age: It can be difficult to find replacement parts for older garbage disposals, therefore usually the older garbage disposals get replaced with newer, more efficient disposals. The usual life expectancy of a garbage disposal is between 8-15 years.
  • Parts: The cost of the part can influence the overall price
  • Garbage Disposal Type: There are different types of garbage disposals (batch feed, continuous feed, and bio-charge garbage disposals). Continuous feed garbage disposals are the most common and generally cost less to repair or replace, whereas a batch feed or a bio-charge garbage disposal tend to cost more to repair or replace.
  • Horsepower: The larger the horsepower (hp) of the replacement garbage disposal the larger the cost of that disposal.
  • Time: If we already have plumbing existing and its a simple replacement then it tends to cost less than if we are installing a new one from scratch or have to make modifications for the new one to fit.

While repair costs can vary based on specific factors, we have found the average price most of our customers invest to repair or replace their garbage disposal.

I couldn’t be happier with the work that was done at my home. The experience was seamless, professional and exceeded all expectations. Silas was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain every step of the process in a way that I could understand. Not only did he diagnosis the problem quickly but the repairs were don’t efficiently and with meticulous attention to detail. I highly recommend this company and Silas to anyone who needs maintenance or repairs.

We had a problem with our system on Christmas Eve day. Called in and got a professional and caring response. Even though their techs were off for the holiday weekend, they sent someone out who fixed our problem quickly. Very kind and professional service. We're so glad we had them install all our systems! Just had a semi-annual service call. The tech went over all our systems quickly but thoroughly, with a friendly but professional manner. Just what we’ve come to expect from this company. Another semi-annual service call. Tech was professional, responsive, and worked quickly. In a time of diminishing service quality, SG stands out. They really do it right! Semi-annual service call: both technicians highly professional. Helpful, great suggestions for improving system efficiency. Main floor system went down. Yovani came out the same day and spent hours diagnosing the problem, which turned out to be in the air handler. Very impressive analytical process, and problem solved. SoGood is so good!

Mr. Silas the service mechanic of SoGood Plumbing came out and analyzed the situation after I told him what was going on.... he made a prediction on what it could be, then he did the diagnostic and it was exactly what he said it was. and he replaced it on the spot. Now my Unit is up and running. As I was out there with him he also educating me on a few things that I needed to know. Silas was the person that worked on my unit last year and did a great job! I will start requesting him.

Ty and Johnny were a fantastic team and offered exceptional service. They quickly unclogged our toilet and upgraded our connector to repair a leak. They even took the time to explain in detail how we could perform some additional work on our own in the future. Ty and Johnny were friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Thanks so much for going above and beyond!!

The two guys that came out to our house today and serviced our garbage disposal and our dishwasher had to come from Petersburg and then they were only here. It only took about 30 to 40 minutes they fixed both of them. They charged us less than $100 to fix both of the issues that we were having and they just took care of it in record time very friendly guys and we will definitely be calling them whether it’s a plumbing heating regardless will be calling these guys good group of guys!!!!😎👌 Great Plumbers

Billy was the best hvac tech I have ever had. Not only was he very good at his job, he was genuinely pleasant to be around. He kept me informed every step of the repair. He stayed until after 7pm, making sure everything was working. Then he even stayed to clean the outside unit. Amazingly great service. I will continue using this company and I have already recommended it to one of my students who has 2 friends who are having hvac problems.

Great service. The only thing is companies today are forced to ask/beg for 5star google reviews in order to be at the top of the list when a Google search occurs. I’ve been asked multiple times by many companies to give a 5 star review. I just want great service and not have to advertise for them.
