Our Complete Garbage Disposal Solutions
Garbage Disposal Installation
Adding a new garbage disposal or upgrading an existing unit dramatically improves your kitchen’s functionality. Our professional installation services ensure your new disposal is perfectly integrated with your plumbing system, properly aligned, and securely mounted to prevent vibration and noise.
Our installation process includes selecting the right horsepower and model for your needs, properly connecting all plumbing components, ensuring correct electrical connections, and testing the unit thoroughly before completion. We take the time to explain operation and maintenance, helping you maximize the lifespan of your new garbage disposal.
Garbage Disposal Repair
When your disposal malfunctions, our skilled technicians quickly diagnose the problem and implement effective solutions. We repair common issues including:
Persistent Jams: Food particles or foreign objects can prevent blades from turning. We safely remove obstructions and restore normal operation without damaging internal components.
Unusual Noises: Grinding, rattling, or humming sounds often indicate specific mechanical problems. Our technicians identify the cause and resolve it through expert repair techniques.
Leaking Units: We locate and fix leaks at sink flanges, discharge pipes, or within the disposal housing to prevent water damage to your cabinets.
Electrical Problems: From tripped reset buttons to wiring issues, we diagnose and repair electrical malfunctions that prevent your disposal from operating properly.
Performance Issues: If your disposal isn’t grinding effectively or drains slowly, we can restore its efficiency through professional repairs and adjustments.
Garbage Disposal Replacement
When repairs aren’t practical or cost-effective, our replacement services provide a fresh start with a newer, more efficient model. We help you select the right unit based on your household size, cooking habits, and budget considerations.
Our replacement process begins with carefully removing your old unit, protecting your sink, plumbing connections, and cabinets. We then install your new model with precision, ensuring proper alignment, secure mounting, and perfect integration with your existing plumbing system.
Garbage Disposal Maintenance Tips
Proper daily care of your garbage disposal not only prevents common issues but also extends its lifespan considerably. Simple habits can make a significant difference in how well your disposal functions and how often it requires professional attention. Follow these expert-recommended maintenance practices to keep your disposal running smoothly year-round.
- Always run cold water before, during, and after using your disposal to flush food particles.
- Avoid disposing fibrous (celery, corn husks), starchy (potato peels), hard (bones), or greasy items.
- Clean regularly by grinding ice cubes with lemon or lime peels to remove residue and odors.
- Use your disposal frequently with moderate food amounts instead of large overloads.

TESTIMONIALS
FAQ's
How long does a typical garbage disposal last?
Most quality garbage disposals last between 8-15 years with proper maintenance and use. If your unit is older than 10 years and experiencing problems, replacement is often more cost-effective than continued repairs. Factors affecting lifespan include frequency of use, what types of food are processed, and whether the unit has been properly maintained.
What should never be put down a garbage disposal?
Avoid putting fibrous foods (celery, corn husks, onion skins), starchy items (potato peels, rice, pasta), hard objects (bones, fruit pits), grease/oils, eggshells, coffee grounds, and non-food items down your disposal. These can dull blades, jam the motor, or create stubborn clogs in your plumbing system that require professional attention.
Why does my garbage disposal smell bad even after cleaning?
Persistent odors usually indicate food particles trapped in areas standard cleaning doesn’t reach. This trapped food decays over time, creating unpleasant smells. Our technicians can professionally clean the unit, including hard-to-reach areas under the splash guard and around the internal baffle. For regular maintenance, grinding ice cubes with lemon peels can help minimize odors.
How do I know if I need a repair or complete replacement?
Consider replacement if your disposal is more than 8 years old, experiences frequent jams despite proper use, makes excessive noise that repairs haven’t resolved, or has a leaking main housing (not just connections). For newer units with issues like jams, minor leaks at connections, or reset problems, professional repair is typically more cost-effective.
What size/horsepower garbage disposal do I need?
For most households (1-3 people), a 1/2 HP unit works well for normal use. Larger families (4+ people) or those who cook frequently should consider 3/4 or 1 HP models for better performance and fewer jams. Commercial kitchens typically require specialized continuous-feed units with 1+ HP. Our technicians can help you select the right size based on your specific household needs and usage patterns.
