Ready to upgrade your garbage disposal?

Your Alabama garbage disposal does so much more than grind food scraps. It prevents food scraps from rotting and emitting unpleasant odors. It helps reduce the amount of food waste in landfills, decreasing harmful greenhouse gas emissions. It also prevents clogging and ensures smooth meal cleanup.

Garbage Disposal Replacement and Installation

The garbage disposal is undoubtedly one of the most essential appliances in your kitchen. For optimal performance, a garbage disposal must be installed correctly, with the utmost care and expertise from Auburn Plumbing Services. You can count on us for leak detection, sewer repair, and other services. Our professionals will ensure a perfect fit for your new garbage disposal, no matter the complexity.

Garbage disposals typically last around 12 to 15 years with proper maintenance. If your disposal frequently jams or makes excessive noise, it could be nearing the end of its lifespan. We approach each installation or replacement based on your kitchen’s unique plumbing and electrical needs. For first-time installations, we’ll ensure your kitchen’s plumbing system is ready for the new disposal. Our team will guide you in selecting the right garbage disposal based on your preferences and budget.

If you have a large family or cook frequently at home, you might need a more powerful unit. More powerful disposals tend to be bigger than regular models, so your sink's available space will affect the choice. Would you like stainless steel or galvanized steel parts for your new garbage disposal? Should your new disposal be hard-wired or plug into a regular outlet? Is a continuous feed or batch feed model more suitable for your needs?

With a continuous feed model, you can add food waste while it operates. Batch feed models run only when a stopper covers the drain, providing additional safety. Let our team help you choose between options like noise reduction, multiple grinding stages, push-button starters, and dishwasher drain connectors. Take advantage of our convenient financing options for purchasing the best garbage disposal for your home.

How to Extend the Life of Your Garbage Disposal

Keep your garbage disposal running smoothly with these simple maintenance suggestions. To keep your disposal smelling clean, grind up some lemon peels occasionally. Stay away from fibrous foods (e.g., celery) and tough waste (like fruit pits or bones). High-powered models may handle tougher foods, so check your manufacturer’s instructions. Grinding a few ice cubes from time to time helps sharpen your disposal’s blades. Grease and shells from seafood should never go into your garbage disposal. Cold water should always run while using the garbage disposal to ensure proper food particle flow. Avoid overloading the disposal with excessive food scraps.
