Disposal Installation

Looking to add or replace a garbage disposal? Our plumbing experts will assess your kitchen setup and recommend the best solution for your needs and budget.

Key factors to consider before installing:

• Motor size: Common sizes include 1/3, 1/2, 3/4, and 1 horsepower. For most households, a 1/2 HP motor works well, but heavy use or tougher food waste may require a stronger motor.

• Power source: Disposals need access to a dedicated power outlet under the sink. If none is available, we can help coordinate installation.

• Dishwasher connection: If you have a dishwasher, your garbage disposal can be connected so it processes food particles from the dishwasher as well.

Already purchased your own model? No problem! we’re happy to install owner-supplied equipment.

Repair & Replacement

If your disposal isn’t working properly, our plumbers can diagnose the problem and recommend the best fix. Common issues include:

• Damaged blades: Usually caused by foreign objects like utensils falling in. Many models require full replacement if the blades are damaged.
• Slow drainage: Often the result of a clog inside the unit.
• Leaks: A cracked housing or seal can cause water damage under your sink which usually requires replacement.
• Unit not starting or blades not spinning: May indicate a stuck flywheel, electrical issue, or broken motor.
