Keep Your Kitchen the Heart of Your Home
A garbage disposal problem is more than a minor annoyance. It disrupts meal prep, cleanup, and the daily rhythm of your home. At Veteran Plumbing Services, our technicians diagnose, repair, and install high efficiency disposals so your kitchen runs smoothly again.
What an Old or Faulty Disposal Costs You
A failing unit creates problems that reach well beyond the sink.
Foul odors. Trapped food particles in an old or clogged unit create smells that spread through your kitchen and home.
Leaks and water damage. Drips under the sink damage cabinets and flooring and can lead to mold, mildew, and costly repairs.
Stubborn clogs and backups. Food stuck in the disposal slows your sink and disrupts every cleanup.
Electrical hazards. A unit that overheats or keeps tripping the breaker puts your electrical system at risk.
Pests and odor. Lingering food waste attracts pests and keeps the smell coming back no matter how often you clean.
Loud, inefficient grinding. An aging motor is noisy, wastes energy, and often fails to grind waste the way it should.
What We Handle
Repair or replacement, every type and brand of disposal.
Jam & Motor Repair
Humming but not spinning? We clear jams, free the impeller, and test the motor.
Leak Repair
We seal flange leaks, fix hose and drain connections, and stop the drips under your sink.
New Installation
Continuous feed, batch feed, and high power models installed and wired correctly.
Wiring & Switches
We confirm proper circuits, grounding, and switch setup so the unit runs safely and to code.
Done Safely, Sealed, and Tested
A disposal ties into your plumbing and your electrical, so the details matter.
Safe Wiring
Proper grounding and circuits remove the shock and fire risk of a bad install.
No Leaks
We seal every connection and pressure check the fittings so nothing drips later.
Quieter Unit
We help you pick insulated, modern models that grind faster and run far quieter.
Right Size
We match the horsepower to your household so the unit handles your real workload.
Warranty Backed
Our repairs and installs include warranties on parts and labor.
How a Disposal Service Works
Clear, clean, and quick. Most jobs are done in one visit.
Diagnose
We inspect the unit, the plumbing, and the wiring to find the real problem.
Repair or Replace
You get upfront pricing and a clear recommendation on fixing or replacing the unit.
Install & Seal
We fit the unit, seal every connection, and haul away the old disposal.
Test & Clean

Repair or Replace? We Will Tell You Straight
Many disposals last 8 to 12 years with good care. If the motor is burned out, the body is cracked, or it needs repair after repair, a new unit is usually the smarter, more affordable choice. We give you the honest call, not the upsell.

What Our Customers Say
Garbage Disposal Questions, Answered
What types of garbage disposals do you install or repair?
We handle continuous feed, batch feed, and high power models, installing new units and repairing existing ones.
How do I know if my disposal needs repair or replacement?
Warning signs include humming without grinding, leaks, persistent clogs, frequent resets, or strange noises.
Can you repair a disposal that hums but will not spin?
Yes. That usually means it is jammed or the impeller is stuck. We clear the jam and test the motor.
What causes a garbage disposal to leak?
Leaks can come from the sink flange seal, the dishwasher hose connection, the drain fittings, or a cracked disposal body.
Do disposals require special electrical work?
Many units need a dedicated circuit. We make sure the wiring, grounding, and switch are set up correctly and to code.
How long does disposal installation take?
Installing a new unit usually takes one to two hours, depending on plumbing changes and the electrical setup.
What maintenance can prevent disposal problems?
Run cold water while grinding, avoid fibrous or hard waste and grease, clean with ice and salt, and flush with water after use.
What should I keep out of the disposal?
Avoid grease, oils, coffee grounds, and starchy or fibrous waste like potato peels, since they clog and coat the unit.
What is the lifespan of a garbage disposal?
With good use and maintenance, many disposals last 8 to 12 years. Frequent issues or heavy wear can shorten that.
How powerful a disposal do I need?
It depends on your household size, waste volume, and usage. We recommend the horsepower and capacity that fit your needs.
Do you remove and dispose of the old unit?
Yes. Removing and properly disposing of or recycling the old unit is part of our installation service.
