An average garbage disposal will last about 10 years. If your disposal begins clogging more often than it used to, it’s a sign that it could need to be replaced.
We service and install all brands of garbage disposals, including InSinkErator, GE, Franke, Moen, Waste King, Frigidaire, and more.
We recommend 1/2 to 3/4 horsepower garbage disposals to most of our residential customers. If you use your disposal daily and grind tough waste, you may wish to upgrade to a 1 horsepower model.
No, you will need to purchase a garbage disposal that fits your plumbing and sink. If you’re not sure how to do this, our plumbers can help.
If your garbage disposal won’t turn on or it turns on and doesn’t make any noise, you’ll need to have it serviced. Other signs of trouble include leaks, slow drainage, jams, and odors.
A garbage disposal should be cleaned once a week if you use it daily, or every 2 to 3 weeks if you use it less often or maintain it well.
No, a garbage disposal that is clogged cannot be snaked. In addition, if you have a clogged sink, it can’t be snaked if it has a garbage disposal installed unless your sink has two basins with separate drains.
One tried-and-true way to clean a garbage disposal is by pouring 1/2 cup of baking soda directly into the disposal, then pouring in a cup of white vinegar. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then turn on the cold water and run the disposal to flush the unit.
A plumber is not always needed to install a garbage disposal, but if you’re not experienced in doing DIY plumbing work, it’s better to hire a skilled plumber to do the job.
Yes, it’s best for a dishwasher to drain into the garbage disposal so food doesn’t clog the dishwasher drain. If your dishwasher is not connected to the garbage disposal, we can connect it for you.
