Signs You Need a New Garbage Disposal
- Frequent jams that require resetting
- Leaking from the unit or connections
- Won’t turn on despite power being available
- Grinding less effectively or taking longer
- Unusual noises during operation

Frequently Asked Questions About Garbage Disposal Installation
How long does garbage disposal installation take?
A straightforward replacement typically takes 30-60 minutes. New installations (where no disposal existed) may take longer due to additional plumbing and electrical work.
What size garbage disposal do I need?
For most households, a 1/2 HP disposal handles everyday use. Larger households or heavy use may benefit from 3/4 HP or 1 HP models. We can recommend the right size for your needs.
Can I install a garbage disposal myself?
While some homeowners DIY disposal installation, it involves both plumbing and electrical work. Improper installation can cause leaks, electrical hazards, or void warranties. Professional installation ensures it’s done correctly.
Do you install disposals bought at home improvement stores?
Yes, we install disposals you’ve purchased. Just make sure all mounting hardware is included. We can also supply quality disposals if you’d prefer.
Will a garbage disposal clog my drain?
When used properly, garbage disposals shouldn’t cause clogs. Always run cold water while operating, avoid putting fibrous foods (celery, artichokes) or grease down the disposal, and don’t overfill it.
