Garbage Disposal Installation in San Antonio
Garbage Disposal Services From Will Fix It
Upgrading your kitchen with a new garbage disposal? Tired of your old disposer being underpowered or needing frequent repairs? When it’s time for a new garbage disposal installation, count on the expert plumbers at Will Fix It to help you decide on the right unit for your San Antonio home.
Signs You Need a New Garbage Disposal Installed
Garbage disposals generally have lifespans of 10-12 years. If you have had your unit for around this long, signs that it is ready to be replaced include:
- Noises – Garbage disposals make noise, but strange or unusual noises can indicate that waste is not being properly ground up.
- Clogs – While a single clog is not cause for concern, clogs occurring with increasing frequency may indicate repair is needed.
- Leaks – Garbage disposals should never leak, and leaks can be extremely unhygienic. When this happens, it is likely time for a replacement.
If you think that the issue might be the drain, Will Fix It can use our high-quality drain cleaning equipment to resolve that issue for you. We can also offer a no-cost analysis of the disposal unit.
Which Garbage Disposal Is Best?
Here at Will Fix It, we hear that question a lot. While there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer that works for all homeowners, here are a few factors to consider when deciding which garbage disposal to buy:
- Continuous-feed models tend to be easier to use, quicker to work through waste and can be less expensive.
- Batch-feed models are easier to install and can be somewhat safer, though they may be more expensive.
- Horsepower – Most models run from 1/2 hp to 1 hp. Depending on the amount and type of waste in your kitchen, the more horsepower, the quicker the job with finer grinding to reduce clogged pipes.
- Hard-wired or Outlet – Disposal units that don’t come equipped with a cord will have to be hard-wired.

How to Install a Garbage Disposal?
Installing a garbage disposal involves blades, electric work, and plumbing. While getting a garbage disposal installation kit and installing a unit yourself might be tempting, this mix of water and electrical work can be risky. Avoid increasing garbage disposal costs by getting a professional installation that prevents costly errors.
