Frequently Asked Questions
How long do garbage disposals last?
Most garbage disposals last 8-15 years with proper use and maintenance. If your unit is older and frequently needs repairs, replacement is often more cost-effective.
Can I install a garbage disposal myself?
While it's possible, improper installation can lead to leaks, electrical hazards, or voided warranties. Professional installation ensures safe, code-compliant work.
What shouldn't go in a garbage disposal?
Avoid putting grease, oil, bones, fibrous vegetables (celery, corn husks), pasta, rice, coffee grounds, and non-food items in your disposal.
Why is my garbage disposal humming but not working?
A humming sound usually means the motor is running but the blades are jammed. Turn off the unit immediately and call a plumber to prevent motor burnout.
How much does garbage disposal installation cost?
Installation costs vary based on the unit you choose and whether electrical or plumbing modifications are needed. Call us for a free estimate.
