Garbage Disposal Installation & Replacement
Garbage disposal installation and replacement helps South Florida homeowners restore a cleaner, more functional kitchen sink when an old disposal is leaking, jammed, noisy, rusted, or no longer grinding food waste properly. Solid Plumbing & Electrical provides residential garbage disposal service in Miramar, Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Deerfield Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and nearby South Florida areas.
Short Service Explanation
Garbage disposal installation and replacement is needed when an old disposal stops working, starts leaking, jams often, smells bad, or no longer drains correctly. A properly installed garbage disposal helps the kitchen sink handle small food scraps while keeping the drain connection secure and reducing mess under the cabinet.
Common Problems / Reasons
Homeowners usually call for garbage disposal service when the unit hums but does not spin, trips the reset button, leaks from the bottom, leaks at the sink flange, makes grinding noises, drains slowly, or has a burning smell. Replacement may also be needed during a kitchen remodel, sink replacement, countertop upgrade, or when the existing disposal was installed poorly.
What We Do / Service Details
We inspect the existing garbage disposal, check the drain connection, look for leaks, confirm the sink opening and mounting assembly, remove the old unit when needed, install the new disposal, connect the discharge pipe, check the dishwasher drain connection when applicable, test the unit, and make sure the sink drains properly before the work is complete.

FAQ
Can you replace my old garbage disposal with a new one?
Yes. We can remove the old garbage disposal and install a new residential unit with proper drain connections and leak testing.
Why is my garbage disposal leaking under the sink?
Leaks can come from the sink flange, discharge pipe, dishwasher connection, or the disposal body itself. If the unit leaks from the bottom, replacement is usually the better option.
Can a garbage disposal be installed if I do not already have one?
Yes, in many kitchens a new garbage disposal can be installed, but the sink, drain piping, cabinet space, and electrical power need to be checked first.
Do you connect the dishwasher drain to the garbage disposal?
Yes, when the dishwasher drains through the disposal, we check and connect the dishwasher drain line properly during installation.
