New Disposal Installation
First-time garbage disposal install, including new drain plumbing and a safe, code-compliant electrical connection.
Disposal Replacement
Swap out an old, leaking, or burned-out disposal for a new unit — old unit removed and hauled away.

Already bought an InSinkErator, Waste King, or Moen? We'll install the disposal you picked out.

We install both continuous-feed disposals and safer batch-feed models for homes with young children.
Leak & Drain Repair
Fix leaks at the sink flange, drain, or dishwasher connection — and clear the clogs a worn disposal can cause.
Signs It's Time to Replace Your Garbage Disposal
Most disposals last 8–12 years. If yours is doing any of the following, it's usually cheaper to replace it than to keep nursing it along:
It hums but won't spin, or jams constantly
Water is leaking from the bottom of the unit
It's slow to grind or leaves food behind
Persistent odors that cleaning won't fix
You have to hit the reset button often
It's loud, rattling, or 10+ years old
Not sure whether to repair or replace? We'll take a look and give you a straight answer — sometimes a jammed disposal just needs to be freed and reset, and we'll never push a replacement you don't need.
Our Disposal Installation Process
We do garbage disposal installs the right way — clean, code-compliant, and leak-tested before we leave.
Assess & Recommend
We check your sink, drain, and electrical setup, then help you choose the right horsepower and feed type — or install the unit you already bought.
Protect & Remove
We protect your cabinet, shut off power and water, and remove the old disposal — checking the drain and flange for any underlying issues.
Mount & Seal
We mount the new disposal securely, seal the sink flange properly, and fit the drain so there are no leaks down the road.
Connect Drain & Power
We connect the drain and dishwasher line, then wire or plug in the unit safely and to code — capping the dishwasher inlet if you don't have one.
Test & Clean Up
We run water, test the disposal, check every connection for leaks, and leave your kitchen as clean as we found it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Garbage Disposal Installation
Most garbage disposal installations in the Grand Rapids area run $250–$450 for a new unit with existing connections, and complex jobs (new wiring, new drain, or a non-standard setup) can run higher. We give you an upfront, flat-rate price before any work begins — no surprises.
A disposal ties into your drain, the dishwasher line, and a 120V electrical connection, so a proper install means leak-free plumbing and a safe, code-compliant electrical hookup. Our licensed plumbers handle the whole job, test it, and clean up — so you don't end up with a leak under the sink a week later.
Yes. Customer-supplied disposals are welcome — bring home an InSinkErator, Waste King, or Moen and we'll install it. We'll quickly check that it fits your sink and horsepower needs before we start.
For a 1–2 person household, a ⅓ or ½ HP unit is usually plenty. For 3–4 people or heavier use, ¾ HP is the sweet spot. Larger families or homes that grind a lot of food waste benefit from a 1 HP disposal, which jams less and runs quieter. We'll help you pick the right size.
Continuous feed disposals run while you push food in with the water on — they're the most common and most affordable. Batch feed disposals only run when a special stopper is in place, which is safer for homes with young kids. We install both.
Yes. A dishwasher isn't required — we simply cap the dishwasher inlet on the disposal. And if you add a dishwasher later, the connection is ready to go.
Not always. A humming disposal is usually jammed, and many can be freed and reset. If the motor is burned out, leaking from the bottom, or more than ~10 years old, replacement is the smarter call. We'll diagnose it and tell you honestly which option saves you money.
A straightforward replacement takes about 1–2 hours. A first-time install that needs new wiring or drain work takes longer — we'll give you a time estimate when we quote the job.
Yes. Every garbage disposal installation is backed by our workmanship warranty, plus the manufacturer's warranty on the unit itself. We test for leaks and proper operation before we leave.
Yes. A leaking or dead disposal can leave your kitchen sink unusable, so we offer same-day replacement and 24/7 emergency service across Grand Rapids and West Michigan.
