What You Get with Our Service

Choosing our garbage disposal installation replacement service means you get the peace of mind that comes with expert plumbing and a disposal that works.

Top-Grade Installation that Stands the Test of Time

The key to an excellent sink drain and disposal unit installation is getting the sink flange and mounting assembly spot-on. We make sure to create a watertight seal and that he power is off before we start work.

1. Disconnecting the Old Unit: We carefully disconnect the old disposal from the drainpipe, the dishwasher drain hose, and the power supply. We keep a bucket handy to catch any excess water from the drain line and the p-trap when we take out the old disposal.

2. Mounting Preparation: We remove the old mounting assembly and clean the sink surface thoroughly. We then apply some plumber's putty to the underside of the new disposal flange so that when we press it into the drain opening, we get a perfect seal.

3. Mounting Assembly Installation: This is the critical bit - securing the mounting assembly under the sink. That involves getting the fibre gasket, the backup flange, and the mounting ring the right way round, securing it with a snap ring, and finally tightening the lower mounting ring using mounting screws. Get this bit right, and you're well on your way to a leak-free disposal installation.

Our guys know their way around all sorts of mounting assemblies - we're not limited to just one type of disposal. We make sure every step - including securing the lower mounting ring with the proper mounting screws - is done just right, which makes for a disposal that will last. When you need a new disposal, we're the team to trust to get it right the first time.

Electrical and Plumbing Connections Done Right

Working with electrical wiring for a new disposal requires care. We make sure to check the circuit breaker and he power is off before we start messing around with any electrical connections including the electrical cord .

• Wiring: We get the electrical wiring from the power cord (if it comes with one) or from the power supply to the disposal unit terminal box, and secure the wires under the electrical cover plate. If the old disposal was direct-wired and the new one comes with a power cord, we can get it hooked up correctly. And we double-check that the circuit breaker is off throughout this part of the job.

• Plumbing: The disposal discharge tube needs to fit perfectly into the drain pipe or p-trap. We connect the discharge tube from the disposal unit using a rubber gasket and a pipe clamp. If you've got a dishwasher, we need to disconnect the dishwasher drain hose from the old unit, remove the plug inside the new disposal, and get it hooked up securely to the disposal intake. We use adjustable pliers and the right tools to tighten all plumbing connections so there are no leaks.

• Testing: We double-check all plumbing connections, turn the power back on, and run water through the sink drain to test for leaks before running the disposal. And then we test the disposal with a cold water supply and a small amount of food scraps.

Our guys are meticulous about getting the mounting ring, the fiber gasket, the drain trap, and plumbing connections right - that minimises the risk of leaks and gives you a reliable disposal unit that will last.

Get rid of that old disposal and replace a garbage disposal with a shiny new garbage disposal replacement.

Plumbing Focus

Safe electrical connections, including the electrical cover plate, are key - so we get the wiring of the power cord (or hardwiring into the electrical wiring) just right.

Installation Guarantee

We're all about creating a watertight seal at the sink flange and plumbing connections using plumber's putty .

Materials Used

We use top-notch plumber's putty, a good fibre gasket, and all the right mounting assembly components.

Safety Protocol

Before we get started, we shut off the power supply, slip on our safety glasses, and isolate the water supply.

We bring all the tools we need to complete the job quickly - including special wrenches for the mounting ring and multi-meters to double-check that the power is off. We follow a step-by-step guide that ensures every technician adheres to the highest standards. We even make sure that the disposal unit is aligned correctly so the discharge tube connects to the drain pipe without any strain.

We can handle disposal units that require a separate power cord or those that get hard-wired into the electrical wiring. And getting the mounting ring, the backup flange, and the lower mounting ring just right is key - their tensioning is what prevents vibration and leaks. Our disposal installation expertise is what will keep your new disposal running smoothly for years to come.

Installation and Reliability

We focus on making our garbage disposal installation process reliable, so your new garbage disposal is leak-free and functional for a long time to come.

A Reliable, Step-by-Step Installation

The reliability of our work and the installation guarantee depend on the precision of the installation process which is crucial. Our step-by-step guide makes sure that every technician follows the same rigorous standards.

1. Preparation: We start by cutting power at the circuit breaker and, if needed, shutting off the water supply. We get a bucket under the work sink area to manage the mess from the old unit. We use safety glasses throughout the disposal removal and installation.

2. Removal: We disconnect the old unit by loosening the mounting ring with the right tools - often a garbage disposal wrench or hammer. We disconnect the dishwasher line and the drain line to remove the old disposal.

3. New Unit Prep: We apply plumber's putty to the sink flange and press it into the drain opening. If you have a dishwasher, we unplug the dishwasher cord inside the new disposal unit before we install it.

4. Mounting: We build the mounting assembly components - including the mounting ring and lower mounting ring - onto the sink flange under the sink. We use adjustable pliers to tighten the mounting ring via the mounting tabs or the three tabs until the sink flange is securely fastened to the sink surface.

5. Final Connections: We hang the new disposal on the mounting ring, connect the discharge tube to the drain pipe, and reconnect the dishwasher drain hose and the power cord (or hardwire the electrical wiring).

Guaranteed Leak-Free Performance

After installation is complete, we put the disposal through rigorous testing. We run water into the sink and check under the sink for any signs of leaks around the sink flange and plumbing connections. We then test the disposal itself, making sure it switches on and off correctly after we restore power. And, of course, this thorough approach to testing ensures that the disposal is fully functional and that the installation is solid. We're committed to using top-notch techniques and tools - including plenty of plumber's putty - so your new disposal provides reliable disposal for your food scraps and long-term service without any leaks. We double-check every connection so that you can be confident in your new disposal unit.
