Garbage disposal installation and replacement: mounting, drain and dishwasher connection, power cord or hardwire and leak testing.
Replacing a garbage disposal sounds simple, but small mistakes cause big messes: a mount that is not seated leaks every time the sink runs, an uncut dishwasher knockout blocks the dishwasher, a cord that does not reach is a hazard and a drain that is not aligned gurgles. In Nashville kitchens with stone or composite sinks, careful mounting is also important to avoid damage to the sink flange and the surrounding counter.
We disconnect the old disposal, clean the sink flange, mount the new unit with the proper ring and gasket, connect the drain and the dishwasher hose, remove the knockout plug when needed and connect power with a cord or a safe hardwire connection. We test with water and leak-check every joint, then show you the reset button and how to keep the unit running well. Many homeowners also ask us to check the sink drain, the strainer and the dishwasher connection while we are under there, and we are happy to do that, because a few minutes of extra attention can prevent the next clog or leak and extend the life of the new unit.
A clean flange, new gasket and secure mounting ring stop leaks at the sink.
We remove the knockout plug when a dishwasher is connected so it can drain freely.
A cord or a safe hardwire connection is installed with a switch you can reach.
A properly aligned drain prevents gurgles and slow flow.
