Garbage Disposal Repair & Installation in Pleasant Hill, Iowa

Half the Pleasant Hill disposal calls we take turn out to be a drain problem rather than a disposal problem - the unit is working fine and the line beneath it is packed. We check the line before selling anyone a new unit, which saves a fair number of Pleasant Hill households the cost of one.

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.

Spring thaw is when sump pumps get tested

A sump pump in Pleasant Hill sits idle for months and then has one important night. That is usually also the night the power flickers. We check the float, the check valve and the discharge line, and we talk to most Pleasant Hill homeowners about a battery backup, because an unbacked pump and a storm outage is how basements flood here.

Pleasant Hill customers on our garbage disposal repair work

★★★★★

Toilet had been running for who knows how long. Quick visit, new flapper and fill valve, and my water bill dropped noticeably the next month. Wish I had called a year earlier.

★★★★★

We run a small restaurant and the grease line backed up during service. They jetted it after we closed that night so we opened normally the next morning. That flexibility is worth a lot to us.

Bought an older house and had them scope the sewer before closing. Found roots in two joints. We used the video to negotiate the repair into the sale. Best money I spent on that purchase.

Garbage Disposal Repair in Pleasant Hill: 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 Pleasant Hill kitchen lines we end up cabling.

How much does a plumber cost in Pleasant Hill?

We quote flat, per job, before any work starts. You hear the number on the phone or at your door, you agree to it, and it does not change because the job took longer than expected. There is no hourly clock running while we diagnose.
