Garbage Disposal Installation, Replacement & Repair

A garbage disposal is one of those things we use all the time but tend to forget needs servicing, until a stray utensil or a rowdy toddler’s toy ends up down the drain while your back is turned. Every parent knows the cringe-worthy grating sound of something stuck in a garbage disposal, and the heart-sinking feeling when it won’t turn on again.

If you suspect you need a garbage disposal repair or a new unit altogether, call Patrick Riley in Phoenix. Our experienced plumbers have seen it all and can quickly diagnose the issue, whether that means fixing what you have or recommending a replacement. For new installs, expect 100% satisfaction with our work. We aim to fix the problem the first time and provide a positive experience for your family.

If a clogged or slow-draining disposal keeps coming back even after a repair, the underlying cause might be further down your drain line rather than the disposal itself. Our drain cleaning team can take a closer look if that’s the case.

Factors That Affect Your Cost

  • Repair vs. replacement: A repair to an existing disposal, like clearing a jam or replacing a worn part, typically costs less than a full replacement. Our plumbers will tell you honestly if a repair makes sense or if replacement is the better long-term option.
  • Warranty: A garbage disposal warranty can increase the cost of your installation, and comprehensive or long-term warranties cost more upfront. Ask your technician about what’s covered and for how long.
  • Horsepower: Garbage disposals with higher horsepower cost more but can handle tougher food waste. If you have a larger household, consider a garbage disposal of 1/3 horsepower or more.
  • Noise dampening feature: Garbage disposals can be loud, but you can opt for a noise dampener that muffles the sound for an additional cost. If you have sleeping babies or a partner who works night shifts, it can be worth the extra expense.
  • Brand: There are a variety of garbage disposal brands on the market, and higher-end brands increase the unit cost.
  • Material: Material affects the overall installation price. We recommend and install stainless steel systems, since they resist rust and corrosion better than other materials.

Do you need a plumber to install or repair a garbage disposal? Yes. Hiring a professional is recommended because of the time investment and specialized tools needed, and a disposal that’s improperly installed or repaired can leak or fail again quickly. Patrick Riley has the expertise to do the job right the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What usually ends a garbage disposal’s life?

Jammed or burned-out motors, leaking seals, and corrosion. A unit that hums without spinning is often jammed and rescuable; one leaking from the body is done.

Can any sink take a disposal?

Most standard kitchen sinks can, provided the drain and the cabinet space below allow it and an outlet or wiring is available. The electrical side is part of the install, which is where a multi-trade team is convenient.

What should never go down a disposal?

Grease, fibrous vegetables, coffee grounds, eggshells in quantity, and anything expandable like rice or pasta. Disposals grind; they do not make grease or starch disappear, and the drain line downstream collects what the disposal cannot handle.

Why does my disposal smell even though it runs fine?

Food residue films the grinding chamber and the splash guard. Running it with cold water and cleaning the guard helps, and persistent odors can also point to buildup in the drain line beyond the unit.

Is it worth repairing a disposal, or should it be replaced?

Jams, resets, and switch problems are worth fixing. Motor and seal failures on a unit of some age usually make replacement the economical path, since the labor is similar either way.
