Professional Garbage Disposal Installation to Keep Your Kitchen Running Smoothly

Is your sink backing up, or is your current unit making a loud, metallic screeching sound? Dealing with a broken kitchen appliance is a major headache, especially when it results in standing water and unpleasant odors. At AP Plumbing, we understand the frustration of a kitchen that isn’t functional. We provide seamless garbage disposal installation services to replace your faulty unit with a high-performance model, restoring convenience to your daily routine.

How AP Plumbing’s Garbage Disposal Service Works

When you choose AP Plumbing, you aren’t just getting a quick fix; you’re getting a professional solution backed by years of expertise. Our process begins with a thorough inspection of your existing setup. If your unit is beyond repair, we specialize in garbage disposal replacement, helping you select from top rated garbage disposals that fit your household’s needs and sink configuration.

Our Master Plumbers handle the heavy lifting, from disconnecting the old unit to ensuring the new one is properly wired and sealed. We check for leaks, verify the electrical connections, and test the unit to ensure it grinds efficiently without vibrating excessively. Our goal is to provide a stress-free experience that keeps your plumbing healthy and your kitchen clean.

Expert Solutions for Fixing Garbage Disposal Issues

Whether you need a minor adjustment or a full garbage disposal replacement, we diagnose the root cause to provide the most cost-effective solution.

• Jammed Impellers: Often caused by hard objects like fruit pits, bones, or even non-food items falling into the unit. This typically results in a humming sound without grinding.
• Persistent Leaks: Leaks can occur at the sink flange, the dishwasher connection, or the discharge pipe. If the body of the unit is cracked, a replacement is usually necessary.
• Motor Burnout: If the unit won’t turn on or smells like burning plastic, the motor may have reached the end of its lifespan.
• Slow Drainage or Clogs: Fat, grease, and fibrous vegetables (like celery) can create stubborn clogs in the disposal or the drain line, requiring a professional flush.
• Electrical Failures: Sometimes the issue isn’t the unit itself, but a tripped reset button or a faulty outlet. We ensure your electrical supply is safe and compatible.

Quick Tips to Keep Your Disposal in Top Shape

To avoid frequent garbage disposal repair, follow these simple maintenance steps:

1. Always use cold water: Run cold water before, during, and after use to help solidify fats so they can be ground up easily.
2. Avoid the “No-Go” list: Never put grease, coffee grounds, eggshells, or fibrous vegetables like corn husks down the drain.
3. Clean with citrus: Grind a few lemon or orange peels once a week to freshen the scent and remove slimy buildup.
4. Sharpen with ice: Dropping a few ice cubes into the unit and grinding them can help clear debris from the blades.
5. Run it regularly: Frequent use prevents rust and keeps the internal components from seizing up.

FAQ: Common Questions About Garbage Disposals

What is the typical garbage disposal installation cost?

In 2026, the cost for a professional garbage disposal installation generally ranges from $250 to $650, depending on the horsepower of the unit and the complexity of your plumbing and electrical connections.

Is it better to repair or choose a garbage disposal replacement?

If your unit is over 10 years old or has a cracked housing, a garbage disposal replacement is usually more cost-effective than frequent repairs. We can help you determine the best path during our inspection.

Why is my garbage disposal making a humming noise?

A humming noise usually indicates a jam. An object may be stuck between the impellers and the grinding ring. It’s best to call a pro for fixing garbage disposal jams to avoid damaging the motor.

What are the top rated garbage disposals for Minnesota homes?

We often recommend stainless steel models from brands like InSinkErator or Moen, which are more resistant to corrosion and offer higher horsepower for busy kitchens.

Can a plumber help with an electrical issue on my disposal?

Yes! As Master Plumbers, we are trained to handle the electrical connections required for your unit. If the problem is a tripped breaker or a dead outlet, we can diagnose and resolve it safely.
