Garbage Disposal Repair & Installation in Urbandale, Iowa

Half the Urbandale 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 Urbandale 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.

When to call us in Urbandale

  • 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 Urbandale 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.

Urbandale customers on our garbage disposal repair work

★★★★★

Fair price, showed up when they said, and did not leave a mess. I do not know how to review a plumber more highly than that.

Sam I. · Urbandale, IA

★★★★★

Emergency call for a burst pipe in a commercial unit. They stabilised it that night and came back to do the permanent repair when we were closed.

Norm B. · Des Moines, IA

★★★★★

They replaced our old tank with a tankless unit and actually upsized the gas line to do it properly. The previous quote we had did not mention the gas line at all, which I now understand would have been a problem.

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

How quickly can you get to an emergency in Urbandale?

Usually within the hour for Urbandale addresses. When you call (833) 435-9778 we give you a real arrival window before you hang up, and we call again if anything changes it.
