"It went great! Old 12 yr old 1/2 HP garbage disposal was removed and replaced with installed In-Sink-Erator 3/4 HP disposal. The disposal was tested and no leaks were found."
"Professional estimate, on-time arrival for the install, and knowledgeable installers. Would recommend this company to fix my mother's plumbing needs."
"Very prompt and efficient service. We had to have a garbage disposal replaced. The techs were excellent and very helpful. Will definitely call them again for any plumbing problems."
"The company texted me with a picture of the repairman, gave me a window of 2 hours, he arrived put on disposable boots and a mask and said the repair would be $650. Gave us his opinion on what brand to buy. Overall, an excellent service"
"I met Richard Allbritton owner of Holy Water Plumbing almost a year ago. He installed a tankless system and installed an all house purification system at that time. Both of which was the best changes I could have made. My house regulator failed two days ago and I called Richard this past Monday (memorial day) even though it’s almost a year since I’ve seen him and even though he was away on vacation he still answered my phone call. He told me he was starting a large job the next day but he would find the time to come by. He came over and even though it was at the end of the day, when he was obviously tired and the replacement part that that he picked up that morning, new in the box when he installed it was defective he still took the time to return it to his supplier some twenty minutes away and returned with the replacement part and installed it just to keep me from being inconvenienced. He is honest, diligent and talented. There’s no one like him, I highly recommend him. G. Schmidt."

"The new technologies for on demand water heaters is much better than years ago. I'm just delighted as this new water heater takes up much less space, leaves more floor room in the utility room, cannot leak, and will save me $$ on my gas bill. It took @ 4 hours to remove the old heater and install this, so you aren't without hot water for long."
"an excellent experience from sales all the way through completed installation. The installation crew was extremely efficient and did a fantastic job installing our front door."
"Our house was built in 1918 and had original windows throughout, it was a huge energy drain and in fact some of them we couldnâ t even get open! Mad City gave us a very thorough estimate and overview and we decided to redo every window. The customer service was outstanding, any issue was immediately addressed and dealt with, we were informed of every step along the way and really enjoyed the personal care the display for their customers. Installation was very organized and professional, they were able to install all windows in 2 days, we had leaded glass in some windows and it was a relief to have Mad City take care of disposal for us. Our house is air tight with our new windows, you can feel what a huge difference they make in the house. Finally, they just look so darn nice, we have had so many compliments from neighbors and family and we are always glad to share our great experience with Mad City windows with them!"
Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts
While the drain connection for a garbage disposal is nearly universal and fits standard sink drain holes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, the size of the disposal unit itself is not. You must have enough space in the cabinet underneath your sink to accommodate the disposal's housing. A larger model may not fit in a compact cabinet or if the existing plumbing is arranged in an unusual way. Before buying a new garbage disposal, measure the available space under your sink. If you are replacing an old unit, it's often easiest to choose a new model of a similar size.
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.
On average, it takes one to four hours for a professional to install a garbage disposal. This includes removing the old unit, taking necessary measurements for positioning, removing and fitting new pipes, and installing the brand-new disposal system. If there are unforeseen issues, such as accessibility concerns, the process takes longer.
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’d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly.
Once you have your garbage disposal disconnected, you can remove the mounting bracket by unscrewing the bolts that are holding the bracket. You can back them out just enough to pop off the snap ring, which prevents the bottom portion of the bracket from disconnecting from the top when you unscrew the bolts. Use a regular screwdriver to pop off the snap ring, and the rest of the components should fall off by themselves.
