Garbage Disposal Replacement Services in Orlando, Florida
A failing garbage disposal affects daily kitchen function and can create plumbing headaches throughout your home. Whether you live in a newer Celebration or St. Cloud subdivision or an established Orlando neighborhood near downtown, our licensed technicians replace worn-out units with durable stainless steel models rated for 3-7 years of reliable performance. We handle removal of old units, installation of new disposals with updated mounting systems, and full system testing before we leave your home.
The garbage disposal replacement process begins with a site assessment where we evaluate your existing drain line, electrical outlet accessibility, and sink configuration. Next, we shut off power at the breaker, disconnect the old unit, and remove mounting hardware from beneath your sink. We then install the new disposal with fresh rubber gaskets, reconnect the drain line using new PVC fittings and plumber's putty, restore electrical connections, and run a full flush test with hot water to verify proper drainage. Final cleanup removes all debris and old parts, leaving your kitchen ready for immediate use.

Our Garbage Disposal Replacement Process
Assessment and Unit Selection
We evaluate your current sink setup, drain configuration, and electrical access near Waterford Lakes or your Orlando location to recommend the right disposal size and horsepower (typically 0.75-1.0 HP for household use). This takes approximately 15-20 minutes.
Power Disconnection and Old Unit Removal
We shut off the circuit breaker, disconnect all electrical lines, unbolt the mounting ring, and remove the old disposal unit. Removal typically takes 20-30 minutes depending on corrosion or tight drain connections.
New Disposal Installation and Connection
We install fresh rubber gaskets, mount the new unit onto your sink flange, reconnect PVC drain lines with new slip nuts, and establish electrical connections to your kitchen outlet. Installation takes 30-45 minutes for most standard configurations.
Testing and Final Verification
We run a 2-3 minute hot water flush test, check all drain connections for leaks, verify proper motor operation, and confirm drainage flows freely down your main line. We then clean up all debris and explain basic maintenance for your new unit.
