A properly working garbage disposal makes a real difference in a kitchen. It speeds up cleanup, cuts down on food waste going into the trash, and helps keep your sink drain clear by breaking food scraps down before they reach the pipes. A poorly installed unit, on the other hand, can leak under the cabinet, trip a breaker, or leave behind odors that keep coming back.
At Taft Plumbing Services, our plumbers install and replace garbage disposals for homeowners in Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Miramar, Southwest Ranches, Weston, West Park, and Hallandale, FL. Before any work begins, we check your existing sink, drain line, and electrical connection, then fit the new unit, seal every connection, and run water through it to confirm it is working properly before we consider the job finished.
We handle the technical details so you can enjoy a hassle-free kitchen:
New Unit Installation: Fitting a new disposal to your existing sink opening and connecting it to your home's drain line and electrical switch.
Old Unit Replacement: Removing a worn-out, leaking, or jammed disposal and installing a new unit in its place, matched to the plumbing and wiring already under your sink.
Power & Sound Upgrades: Walking you through horsepower options and insulated, quieter models if you want more grinding power or less noise.
Leak-Proof Sealing: Sealing the connection between the disposal and the sink flange so water stays in the pipes instead of leaking into the cabinet below.
Dishwasher Integration: Connecting your dishwasher's discharge line to the disposal so both appliances drain the way they should.
Precision Plumbing: We line up the P-trap and drain connections correctly so water does not pool under the sink or leave lingering odors.
Electrical Safety: We handle the wiring and switch connection so the unit is properly grounded and wired to code.
Vibration Reduction: A disposal that is mounted correctly runs with less vibration, which protects your sink and keeps the unit quieter day to day.
Warranty Protection: Many manufacturers require professional installation to keep the unit's warranty valid, so having it installed correctly matters from day one.
What size (horsepower) garbage disposal do I need?
Most households do well with a 1/2 HP or 3/4 HP disposal. If you cook often or have a larger household, a 1 HP model handles tougher food waste with less chance of jamming.
How long does a typical installation take?
Most installations and replacements take under an hour when the existing plumbing and electrical connections are already in good shape. If something under the sink needs attention first, we will let you know before starting the work.
Why is my disposal humming but not grinding?
This usually means something is jammed or the motor has seized. Turn it off and avoid running it again, since that can burn out the motor. Give us a call and we will take a look to see whether it needs a simple reset or a full replacement.
