Garbage Disposal FAQs
Do I need a plumber to install a garbage disposal?
Yes, professional installation ensures your disposal is safely connected, leak-free, and meets local codes. DIY installation can result in leaks, electrical problems, or damage to your plumbing.
What size disposal do I need?
For most homes, a 1/2 to 3/4 horsepower unit suffices. Larger households or cooks who prepare lots of meals may benefit from a higher horsepower model. We help recommend the right size for your needs.
Can a garbage disposal be added to any sink?
Most sinks can accommodate a disposal, but we’ll inspect your space and plumbing to make sure installation is feasible and safe.
How long does installation take?
Most standard installations are completed in 1–2 hours, including old unit removal and thorough cleanup.
What foods should NOT go in the disposal?
Avoid putting bones, grease, fibrous veggies (like celery), coffee grounds, and starchy foods down the disposal to keep it running smoothly.
My current disposal is leaking, should I repair or replace it?
Persistent leaks or frequent mechanical failures often indicate it’s more cost-effective to replace rather than repair. We’ll provide honest guidance after a quick inspection.
