Before you sign
What to ask a Cibolo contractor first
- 01
Does the existing mounting assembly match the new unit, or must the sink flange and gasket be replaced too?
- 02
Is the outlet, switch and cord connection within scope, since some disposal work needs a licensed electrician instead?
- 03
Is the motor seized or merely jammed, because clearing a jam and replacing the unit are very different pieces of work?

Answers first
Garbage Disposal in Cibolo — common questions
My disposal just hums — is it dead?
Usually not. A hum with no rotation means the flywheel is jammed. Cutting power at the breaker and freeing the flywheel often revives it. A unit that is silent with power on has generally lost the motor or the switch.
What should never go in a garbage disposal?
Grease and cooking oil, fibrous vegetable waste, coffee grounds in quantity, eggshells in quantity, pasta and rice, and bones. Most of these do not damage the motor — they build up downstream and become a drain-cleaning call.
How long do garbage disposals last?
Commonly around 8–12 years depending on use. Once the housing itself is leaking, the unit is replaced rather than repaired.
Do I need a permit for plumbing work in Cibolo?
Permit requirements around Cibolo are set locally rather than statewide. As a rule, water heater replacement, gas work, sewer laterals and repiping are permitted work, while a like-for-like faucet or disposal swap usually is not. A licensed contractor pulls the permit — if one offers to skip it, that is the signal to stop.
Is PlumberTexas a plumbing company?
No. Independent licensed professionals perform and contract the work directly with you. PlumberTexas routes the request and links every page to the official Texas licence register.
Does PlumberTexas charge homeowners anything?
No. PlumberTexas may be compensated by a partner when a homeowner connects with a professional through the site. That never changes what the contractor charges for the job.
Does calling create any obligation to hire?
None. A call or a callback request is a conversation, not a contract. Scope, timing and price are only agreed if you decide to proceed with the professional handling Cibolo.
Are night and weekend calls handled differently in Cibolo?
Requests route around the clock, but most contractors price after-hours work differently. Ask for the after-hours rate and a committed arrival window before agreeing to a dispatch.
