disposal will clog up or break down. This may not normally be a big deal, but since these small appliances are attached to the most heavily used sink in the house, the kitchen sink, it is important to keep them up and running.
It pays to invest in power. Get a garbage disposal unit that delivers at least one-half horsepower—1 horsepower is even better. Weaker (1/3 horsepower) models will not last as long or perform as reliably, especially with bones and hard food scraps, and are more likely to allow waste to clog pipes.
Our technicians are available to install, service, or repair many brands of garbage disposers. Our fast and reliable service will have your garbage disposal up and running in no time at very competitive price.

Garbage Disposals We Recommend
Another under appreciated workhorse of the Home or Business, we have only supplied and installed one Brand of Disposal. In our opinion Insinkerator is the only way to go! They have the track record to prove they are the best!
InSinkErator food waste disposers are the best-selling brand in the world, and with good reason, they provide the greatest peace of mind. All models offer these exclusive features:
Dura-Drive Induction Motor These powerful, heavy-duty motors are manufactured by InSinkErator to exacting specifications that help ensure high performance and long life.
Quick-Lock Sink Mount Available only from InSinkErator, this “twist-on, twist-off” sink mount makes installation fast and easy, no matter what disposer you’re replacing.
They don’t dominate a kitchen like a massive refrigerator. They don’t feature elaborate control panels like a microwave oven. But InSinkErator food waste disposers take their rightful place of honor in kitchens around the world. Day after day, perhaps more often than any other appliance, they bring convenience and practicality to everyone in the home.
With an InSinkErator® food waste disposer in your kitchen, chicken bones, fruit rinds, coffee grounds and more can go right in the sink — where they’re virtually liquefied to safely flow into your sewage system or septic tank. You’ll enjoy a cleaner food preparation area, and less bagged garbage cluttering your home.

Garbage disposals work best if you:
- Do not put your hand into the disposer.
- Use cold water when grinding food (hot water can melt fats and clog the mechanism and the pipes)
- Do not overfill
- Do not pour bleach, drain cleaners, or other chemicals into the unit
- Do not grind overly fibrous materials, bones, or coffee grounds (check the owners manual) or materials like glass, metal, or rubber
- Run water before and for about a minute after you use the disposal
- If something has been put in the disposal that should not have been, including metal, rubber, glass objects, or fibrous food waste such as artichokes and corn husks, shells, or large whole bones, use tongs or pliers to pull the material out. Never use your hand.
- TIP: To clean a garbage disposal of built-up sludge and debris, fill it with ice cubes and a cup of rock salt, then run it for about five seconds. If your garbage disposal smells bad, you can deodorize it by running warm water down it while you grind a lemon.
