A garbage disposal grinds food scraps into fine particles that are washed away through your home’s plumbing. It helps minimize food waste in trash bins, reduces odors, and limits the risk of pipe clogs. However, disposals require proper use and care. When improperly installed or maintained, they can contribute to drain blockages, unpleasant smells, and mechanical failure.
Our garbage disposal services focus on selecting the right unit for your needs, ensuring secure installation, and providing repairs when issues arise.
