Though repairs can fix many disposal problems, sometimes a complete replacement is best. If you’re running a disposal older than 8-10 years old, it may be on its last leg and frequently breaking down. If the motor has burned out, it’s not usually cost-effective to repair it, and replacing the unit with a newer, energy-efficient model is a wiser investment. If you’re consistently dealing with clogs and jams, your disposal may lack the power necessary for your household’s demands, and upgrading could lead to better performance. If the bottom of the unit continues to leak, that most often means there is internal damage, and the unit will usually need to be replaced.
Modern garbage disposals constantly incorporate new features like quieter operation, better grinding power, and better efficiency. If your unit is old and inefficient, upgrading to a new unit can improve its performance and minimize the chances of plumbing issues in the future. Our skilled plumbing professionals will assist in determining the appropriate disposal for your residence, providing an efficient setup that blends flawlessly with your current plumbing network.
