Garbage Disposal Installation

If you’ve never had a garbage disposal before, adding one can feel like a big decision. But with the right technician, it doesn’t have to be complicated. Lee’s Air, Plumbing & Heating starts by looking at your sink’s current setup, checking the drain and plumbing. If your kitchen can support it, we’ll guide you through unit options that fit your needs.

Once you’ve picked the right model, the rest is handled for you. Our technicians secure the disposal to the sink and hook it into the drain line. We also test everything to make sure it runs smoothly and quietly. It’s a simple job with the right tools and training, and it makes a sizable difference in how your kitchen feels. You’ll wonder why you waited so long to install one.

Garbage Disposal Replacement

Disposals don’t last forever. Over time, they can wear down, rust, or jam more easily than they used to. When that happens, it might be time to replace instead of repair. If your disposal rattles, leaks, or stops grinding the way it used to, it’s probably time to move on to something newer.

Our plumbers don’t just pull out the old and jam in the new. We take the time to inspect the surrounding plumbing, make sure the drain is clear, and confirm that the electrical connection is safe. Then we install a new unit that fits your space and your habits. The goal is to get your kitchen back to working order without making a mess of your day.

Garbage Disposal Repair

Ice, bones, grease, and soap scum can all build up inside your garbage disposal unit. Over time, the impellers can jam or the unit can develop a slow leak. If your disposal makes a loud humming noise but doesn’t spin, or it starts leaking under the sink, you’re dealing with a problem that needs attention now.

Our plumbers don’t just patch the problem; they troubleshoot it completely. If we can save the disposal, we will.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs that I need garbage disposal repair instead of replacement?

If your unit suddenly stops working but isn’t that old, we’ll usually recommend garbage disposal repair. Common signs include humming without spinning, minor leaks, or a stuck impeller that might need a quick hex key adjustment or reset button press.

What’s the average lifespan of a garbage disposal unit?

Garbage disposals usually last around eight to 15 years. If your unit is older than that or you’re noticing constant jams, leaks, or strange noises, it might be time for a garbage disposal replacement in Fresno or Sacramento.

Can a garbage disposal be added to any kitchen sink?

Most modern kitchen sinks can support garbage disposal installation, but we’ll always check to be sure. We look at your drain pipe layout and under-sink space before recommending a unit that fits your setup.

Is it safe to use ice or vinegar to clean my disposal?

Ice can help clean the grinding chamber and remove stuck debris, and vinegar is great for odor control. For a quick clean, run cold water, drop in a few ice cubes, and turn on the unit. Then, flush with a mix of vinegar and baking soda. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the interior or pipes.

What should I avoid putting in my garbage disposal?

Avoid bones, grease, fibrous vegetables like celery, pasta, coffee grounds, and large food chunks. These items can clog the impeller, jam the blades, or build up inside the drain. Always run cold water while the disposal is in use, and continue for a few seconds after it stops to flush everything through.
