A high-performing garbage disposal is the unsung hero of a modern kitchen. It makes cleanup faster, reduces kitchen waste in your trash cans, and helps prevent sink clogs by grinding down food particles. However, a poorly installed unit can lead to leaks, electrical issues, and persistent odors.
At Taft Plumbing Services, we provide professional garbage disposal installation and replacement services. Whether you are upgrading to a more powerful, quieter model or installing a unit for the first time, our licensed plumbers ensure a perfect fit and leak-free operation.
We handle the technical details so you can enjoy a hassle-free kitchen:
New Unit Installation: Expertly fitting the disposal to your existing sink and connecting it to your home’s drainage and electrical systems.
Old Unit Replacement: Safely removing your worn-out or jammed disposal and replacing it with a modern, high-efficiency model.
Power & Sound Upgrades: Helping you choose between different horsepower (HP) levels and insulated models for ultra-quiet operation.
Leak-Proof Sealing: Ensuring a watertight seal between the disposal and the sink flange to prevent cabinet water damage.
Dishwasher Integration: Properly connecting your dishwasher discharge line to the disposal for seamless kitchen drainage.
Precision Plumbing: We ensure all P-traps and drainage lines are correctly aligned to prevent standing water and foul smells.
Electrical Safety: Our team safely handles the wiring and switch connections, ensuring your unit is grounded and code-compliant.
Vibration Reduction: Proper installation reduces excessive vibration, which protects your sink’s structural integrity and lowers noise levels.
Warranty Protection: Many manufacturer warranties require professional installation to remain valid.
What size (horsepower) garbage disposal do I need?
For a typical household, a 1/2 HP or 3/4 HP unit is usually sufficient. If you cook frequently or have a large family, a 1 HP model offers more power to grind tougher food waste without jamming.
How long does a typical installation take?
Most garbage disposal installations or replacements can be completed in under an hour, provided the existing plumbing and electrical connections are in good condition.
Why is my disposal humming but not grinding?
This usually indicates a jam or a seized motor. Do not continue to run the motor, as it could burn out. Give us a call, and we can determine if it’s a simple fix or if a replacement is the more cost-effective option.
