Our Professional Garbage Disposal Installation Services

Unless you have plumbing experience, you should probably avoid installing a garbage disposal yourself. A garbage disposal unit must be installed correctly because even a small mistake can damage kitchen plumbing, resulting in a big mess or possible injuries. 

With professional garbage disposal installation, an expert plumber talks to you about your options and helps you select the right type of disposal for your needs. When you’re ready, they’ll professionally integrate it into your kitchen plumbing. They’ll expertly install the disposal, test it to ensure it’s working properly, and show you how to use it before they leave. 

Sky Heating, AC, Plumbing, and Electrical offers expert plumbing services to the Portland area, including garbage disposal replacement. We’re your trusted local plumbing provider, helping Oregonians with all their plumbing needs, as well as HVAC and electrical services. Whatever home services you require, we’re here to help.

What Are the Signs That You Need a New Garbage Disposal?

You may need a new garbage disposal if you notice the following signs:

• Frequent resets or power loss
• Clogs easily
• Less responsive
• Water leaks around or under the sink
• Persistent bad odors
• Increased noise
• You’re planning a kitchen renovation 
• It’s more than 10 years old

A new garbage disposal can handle your food scraps, making it easier to rinse off your dishes before washing. Garbage disposals are also eco-friendly and prevent odors in your trash can.

How Does Professional Garbage Disposal Installation Save You Time and Money?

When you hire an experienced professional for garbage disposal installation, the benefits include: 

• Quick and safe garbage disposal installation
• Prompt attention to nearby plumbing issues
• Code-approved electrical connections

Garbage disposals are not a one-size-fits-all appliance and there are important differences between models. A plumber can help you choose the type of disposal that best suits your needs and your home plumbing system’s capabilities. 

When you hire a Sky professional plumber, the disposal will be installed correctly and coded the first time, so you won’t have to waste money calling a plumber if anything goes wrong with your DIY job. 

How To Maintain Your Garbage Disposal After Installation?

While your garbage disposal is sturdy, it’s only built to handle food waste. Avoid putting drain-clogging fats, bones, coffee grounds, eggshells, produce stickers, fibrous vegetables like celery or asparagus, and non-food items into the sink.

Other top garbage disposal maintenance tips include:

• Cleaning the splash guard
• Only putting allowed materials down the disposal
• Avoid overfilling the disposal, as this can cause strain on the motor
• Using enough cold water while running the disposal
• Running the disposal regularly 

Regular, professional garbage disposal maintenance is key to extending its lifespan. We make it simple with Sky, offering plumbing maintenance and cleaning services that’ll keep your disposal working like new for longer.
