"Sterling was the best!!! He came on short notice and during the middle of a snow storm. He even shoveled our driveway so he could service us. He fixed our problem and then tripled checked to make sure everything ran smoothly. He also fixed our garbage disposal which was a bonus as that was a separate issue. He was professional courteous and very patient with us explaining every single detail of the job he had to perform. I would highly recommend him for services and would definately use him again in the future. Sterling was a GOD send In helping us get our draining problem fixedð"

"Great experience with Tawn from Day & Night Plumber! He arrived on time, wore a mask, was friendly and professional, and quickly replaced our broken garbage disposal. Day & Night Plumber was even offering a fantastic deal on garbage disposal replacement so Tawn came prepared with the new disposal and the cost was far less than I had anticipated. I'm happy with the work and plan to use the company again."

"I hired this company as the previous company scheduled to install my garbage disposal were a no-show. I called this company at 4:30pm. James arrived an hour later. By 6pm, he completed the job. A plumber is pricey but the quality of the work is top notch. I'd be elated to hire this company again."

"Two gentlemen showed up- ON TIME and both had masks on and were very polite. Per my request, they texted when they were close so I could get my large dog settled. They took out the old garbage disposal and installed new one. The space under my sink is very tight, so it was not an easy job! They completed the job- did not leave any trash behind. Very clean and very respectful."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.

However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.

The most common garbage disposal size in the U.S. is 1/2 horsepower. This size is ideal for households with three or fewer people or those that don't produce much food waste. Although 1/2 horsepower can't handle the typical food waste load for a household of four (which is about 250 pounds of food waste annually) as effectively as 3/4 horsepower, it remains the most common size of garbage disposal on the market.

There are many maintenance and repair issues that lead to a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Regular clogs place wear and tear on the motors, leading to an eventual shutdown. Electrical issues at the breaker, wall outlet, or disposal itself can fry the unit. The most common cause is simply a worn-down motor. These motors can only handle so much use before powering down for good. 

These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly when you replace your garbage disposal. Make sure you shut the power off to the area first and check that it’s off with a voltage detector. Disconnect the main drain line and P-trap, and then disconnect the dishwasher drain line if you have one connected. You can then unscrew your garbage disposal using a disposal wrench. Just make sure you disconnect the electrical lines before removing your appliance.

As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with proper care and maintenance, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.
