Garbage Disposal Repair & Installation in Algona, Iowa

A disposal that hums without turning is jammed, not dead, and that is usually a short visit. A disposal that leaks from the body is finished, because the housing has rusted through and there is nothing to seal. We can tell you which yours is over the phone most of the time.

Call (833) 435-9778 and describe what is happening. We will give you an arrival window before you hang up and a flat price before anyone starts work - the same price at 2am as at 2pm.

When to call us in Algona

  • It hums but the blades will not turn
  • Nothing happens at all when you flip the switch
  • Water leaking from the body or from the sink flange
  • Loud grinding or rattling from inside the unit
  • A persistent smell that cleaning has not fixed
  • The sink backs up whenever the disposal runs

What the visit covers

  • Jam freed and the reset and breaker checked first
  • Sink flange and mounting reseated if it is leaking there
  • Drain line checked so we solve the real problem
  • Replacement units in several horsepower ratings
  • Dishwasher drain connection made correctly
  • Old unit removed and taken away

Older sewer lines here are clay or cast iron

Plenty of Algona homes still run their waste out to the street through clay tile with a joint every few feet, and roots find every one of them. Cast iron scales shut from the inside instead. Either way, a main line that backs up twice in a year is telling you something a camera can confirm in twenty minutes.

Algona customers on our garbage disposal repair work

★★★★★

Basement floor drain smelled for weeks. Turned out to be a dried trap, not anything serious. He explained it, filled it, and charged for the callout only.

Perry N. · Algona, IA

★★★★★

Fast, polite, and they put down drop cloths without being asked. Small thing, but it tells you how the rest of the job is going to go.

Petra S. · Burt, IA

★★★★★

Called at 6am about no water in the house. Frozen line at the meter. He talked me through what to do while he drove over. Sorted by 8.

Garbage Disposal Repair in Algona: common questions

My disposal just hums - is it broken?

Usually not. Something is jammed against the impellers. Cut the power at the switch and the breaker, then use the hex key in the bottom of the unit to turn it by hand. If it frees up, hit the red reset button. If not, call (833) 435-9778.

How long does a garbage disposal last?

Eight to twelve years with normal use. Once the housing leaks it is done. If it is under eight years and simply jammed or tripped, repair is nearly always the better call.

Can you install a disposal where there is not one?

Yes, provided there is a switched outlet under the sink or we can arrange one. We handle the drain reconfiguration and the dishwasher connection as part of the install.

What should never go in a disposal?

Grease, coffee grounds, eggshells, fibrous vegetable skins and pasta or rice. Those are what we find in most of the Algona kitchen lines we end up cabling.

Can you come out the same day in Algona?

Yes, most Algona calls are handled the same day, and genuine emergencies - flooding, sewage backups, no water, gas smells - get moved to the front of the queue immediately.
