Ready to upgrade your garbage disposal?

A garbage disposal is an essential appliance that does more than simply chop food waste. By disposing of food waste efficiently, it helps maintain a clean, odor-free kitchen. It plays a role in reducing food waste in landfills, thus minimizing environmental impact. It also prevents clogging and ensures smooth meal cleanup.

Garbage Disposal Replacement and Installation

Your garbage disposal is one of the hardest-working appliances in your kitchen. It performs best when installed correctly with precision and craftsmanship that Grayson Valley Plumbing Services brings to every job. We offer comprehensive services to ensure the installation of your garbage disposal is smooth, including leak detection and sewer repairs. Rest assured, we’ll install your garbage disposal correctly, whether it’s a first-time installation or a replacement.

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. Every garbage disposal installation we undertake is customized to fit your specific plumbing and electrical setup. For first-time installations, we’ll ensure your kitchen’s plumbing system is ready for the new disposal. We can help you choose the best garbage disposal for your needs and budget.

For families or avid home cooks, a higher horsepower unit may be necessary. More powerful disposals tend to be bigger than regular models, so your sink's available space will affect the choice. Do you prefer stainless steel or galvanized steel components? Do you want a hard-wired model or one that plugs into an electrical 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. We provide financing solutions to help you purchase the right equipment within your budget.

Keeping Your Garbage Disposal in Top Shape

Keep your garbage disposal running smoothly with these simple maintenance suggestions. Keep your drain smelling fresh by grinding lemon peels. Avoid grinding fibrous foods like celery, or hard waste like fruit pits and chicken bones. Some advanced disposals can handle tougher waste, so check your model’s instructions. Sharpen your disposal blades by grinding some ice cubes now and then. Grease and shells from seafood should never go into your garbage disposal. Always run cold water when using the disposal to help flush food particles down the drain. Avoid overloading the disposal with excessive food scraps.
