Is fixing a leaking garbage disposal worth it?

• <div><p>If the cost of repairing a leaking garbage disposal is close to the cost of replacing the disposal, then fixing the unit might not make sense. When deciding if you should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garbage-disposal-repair-and-replacement.htm">repair or replace your garbage disposal</a>, consider the age of your garbage disposal, the cost of the repair, and whether your garbage disposal has had other problems recently to help you decide if the cost of repairing the leak is better than the cost of replacing the disposal.</p></div>

Q: What is the average life span of a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Garbage disposals last an average of seven years but can function well past 10 years. However, as time goes on and more food is ground, the grinding plates will slowly lose their edge and need replacing. A motor likely won&rsquo;t last 10 or more years, but you should be able to get a minimum of five years at least, even under heavy usage. </p></div>

Q: Will any size garbage disposal fit my sink?

• <div><p>While the part of the garbage disposal that attaches to the sink is universal, not every single disposal will work in every sink cabinet. A larger disposal may be too big to fit in a compact space, for example. If the pipes under your sink are arranged in an unusual way, it may be difficult to put in a bigger disposal, even if there technically is enough space.</p></div>

Q: Do garbage disposals fit all sinks?

• <div><p>Garbage disposals fit the drains of nearly every sink out there due to universal drain hole sizes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, but the same isn&rsquo;t true for the housing underneath the sink. You need plenty of room to fit a garbage disposal under there, so measure the space ahead of time and use those dimensions when shopping for a new model. If you&rsquo;re replacing an existing model, get one in that size.</p></div>

Q: Are garbage disposals bad for the environment?

• <div><p>Garbage disposals can be considered bad for the environment due to their electricity usage, but good for the environment because they reduce the food waste sent to landfills. If everyone used a garbage disposal, it would tax the wastewater treatment facilities in that region, but if we had to choose one of the options, we&rsquo;d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly. </p></div>

At first it appeared to go well. Floor was completed and the told us the floor would last 10+ years and was "harder than concrete". A month later we moved kitchen appliances in and had to move a piece of equipment and the floor flaked off. They said that shouldn't have happened and then has been...
