Do You Need a New Garbage Disposal?

Not sure if you need a repair or a replacement? Here are some common signs that it's time for a new garbage disposal:

Signs You May Need a New Garbage Disposal

Your Disposal Is Over 8–10 Years Old
Most garbage disposals last about 8 to 10 years with regular use. If yours is approaching or past that age, replacement is often more cost-effective than ongoing repairs—and newer models are quieter, more powerful, and more energy-efficient.

Repairs Are Becoming More Frequent
If you're calling for repairs every few months—whether it's jams, leaks, or motor issues—it's a sign your disposal is wearing out. Replacing it now saves you time, frustration, and repeat service calls.

You're Ready for an Upgrade
Older disposals can be loud, slow, and less effective at grinding food waste. If you want a quieter, more powerful model that handles tougher scraps and runs more smoothly, an upgrade is a smart investment in your kitchen's performance.

Protecting Your Garbage Disposal

A little care goes a long way in keeping your garbage disposal running smoothly:

• Run cold water while the disposal is running and for a few seconds after turning it off.
• Avoid fibrous foods like celery, onion skins, and corn husks—they can wrap around the blades.
• Skip grease and oil—they solidify in pipes and cause clogs.
• Use small amounts of food waste at a time instead of overloading the disposal.
• Keep it clean by occasionally grinding ice cubes or citrus peels to freshen and clean the blades.

Regular maintenance and smart habits help your disposal last longer and work better.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a garbage disposal installation take?
Most installations take 1 to 2 hours, depending on your kitchen's plumbing setup and whether any modifications are needed.

Can you repair my existing garbage disposal?
Typically, no—only if the issue is a jam, reset button, or minor leak. If your disposal is older or the motor is failing, replacement may be more cost-effective. We'll give you an honest recommendation.

What size garbage disposal do I need?
For most households, a ½ or ¾ horsepower disposal works well. Larger families or heavy users may benefit from a 1-horsepower model. We'll help you choose the right size for your needs.

Do you offer emergency garbage disposal repair?
We offer emergency plumbing services Monday–Friday from 5 pm–10 pm and Saturdays from 8–10 pm. If your disposal is causing a leak or backup, give us a call.

How much does garbage disposal installation cost?
Costs vary based on the model and installation complexity. Contact us for an honest estimate—no pressure, no hidden fees.
