New Garbage Disposals, Installed Right
A garbage disposal is only as good as its installation. A poorly sealed sink flange leaks, a bad drain connection causes clogs, and a missed dishwasher knockout plug can flood your cabinet the first time the dishwasher runs.
Heaton Plumbing removes your old unit, installs the new disposal, connects the drain and dishwasher properly, and tests everything before we leave. If your current disposal might be worth saving, see our garbage disposal repair service first.

Garbage Disposal Installation FAQs
How long does garbage disposal installation take?
Replacing an existing disposal is usually a quick job. Installing a disposal where there wasn’t one before takes longer, since the sink drain may need to be reconfigured and power may need to be available under the sink.
What size garbage disposal do I need?
Most households do well with a 1/2 to 3/4 horsepower unit. Larger families, frequent cooks, and homes that grind tougher food waste may prefer 3/4 to 1 horsepower. We help you pick a size that fits your kitchen and how you use it.
Can you install a disposal where I don’t have one?
Yes. We can add a disposal to a sink that doesn’t have one, including reconfiguring the drain connections. A disposal needs a power source under the sink, so we’ll check that first and let you know if anything else is needed.
Can I install a garbage disposal myself?
Some homeowners do, and our step-by-step installation guide walks through the basics. Professional installation avoids common problems like leaks at the sink flange, poor drain slope, and an incorrect dishwasher connection.
Should I repair or replace my disposal?
Jams, resets, and leaking connections can usually be repaired. A cracked housing, a burned-out motor, or an older unit with repeated problems is usually worth replacing. See garbage disposal repair if you think yours can be saved.
Do you install commercial garbage disposals?
Yes. We install commercial food waste disposers for restaurants and businesses. Learn more about our commercial plumbing services.
