Common questions

Garbage Disposal Installation: your questions, answered

Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?

A jam or a tripped reset button can often be cleared. A disposal that leaks from the body is usually done, because the seals inside have failed, so replacement is the right call.

What size disposal do I need?

Most households do well with a 1/2 or 3/4 HP unit. Bigger families or people who cook a lot often prefer 3/4 to 1 HP. Quiet-series units are worth it in an open kitchen.

Can I put a disposal on a septic system?

Some models are made for septic systems, but a disposal adds solids to the tank. If you're on septic, ask us about septic-rated units and how they affect pumping frequency.

Do you haul away the old disposal?

Yes. We remove and take the old unit with us.
