Garbage Disposal Installation

At Squeak’s Plumbing, Heating & Air, our expert technicians make sure your new garbage disposal unit is perfectly integrated into your kitchen’s plumbing system. Here’s how our professionals manage the installation process:

  • Removal of the Old Disposal: Our first step is to safely remove your old disposal unit. We carefully disconnect it so that the sink drain and all plumbing connections are cleanly unhooked without damaging your existing setup.
  • Preparing the New Disposal: We prepare the new unit for installation by applying plumber’s putty around the sink flange for a watertight seal. The flange is then fitted into the sink hole and secured with a snap ring to keep it firmly in place.
  • Attaching the New Disposal: Our technicians carefully lift and position the new disposal unit, aligning it with the mounting ring. We then securely lock it into place and connect the discharge tube to channel waste into the drain system.
  • Making Plumbing Connections: We reattach the P-trap and check that all pipes are tightly fitted. This step is crucial to prevent any potential leaks. If your setup includes a dishwasher, we also double-check and secure that connection.
  • Electrical Connections: We wire the disposal to your home’s power source, adhering strictly to local electrical codes. Once the wiring is safely and correctly installed, we secure the cover plate to protect the connections.
  • Testing the Installation: Finally, we run water through the system to thoroughly check for any leaks and test the disposal to be sure it operates as expected. This step confirms that the installation is successful and the unit is ready for regular use.

Garbage Disposal FAQs:

How do I know if my garbage disposal needs repair?

Common signs include unusual noises (grinding or humming), frequent clogs, leaks, or the unit not turning on. If you notice any of these, contact a professional for a thorough inspection.

Can I fix my garbage disposal myself?

Minor issues like a jam can sometimes be resolved using a hex wrench to turn the blades manually. However, for safety and to avoid further damage, complex issues like leaks or motor problems should be handled by a professional.

How long does a garbage disposal last?

With proper maintenance, a garbage disposal typically lasts 8–12 years. Regular cleaning and avoiding hard or fibrous materials (e.g., bones, celery) can extend its lifespan.

What should I avoid putting in my garbage disposal?

To prevent damage, avoid disposing of:

  • Grease or oil

  • Hard items like bones or pits

  • Fibrous foods like celery or onion skins

  • Non-food items like glass or plastic

How often should I maintain my garbage disposal?

We recommend professional maintenance once a year. Regular cleaning with ice cubes, citrus peels, or vinegar can also help keep it in good condition between visits.

What’s the difference between continuous feed and batch feed disposals?

Continuous feed disposals run as long as the switch is on, ideal for frequent use. Batch feed disposals only operate when a stopper is in place, offering added safety for households with children.
