You can install a basic garbage disposal yourself if the sink, drain, and a switched outlet already exist. Hire a plumber if new wiring, a drain reconfiguration, or corrosion/misalignment is involved. DIY errors can cause leaks, vibration, or tripped breakers. We provide installation and replacement for homeowners in Roanoke and nearby areas. A technician will confirm model fit and set the mounting, discharge, and seals correctly.
- Turn off power at the breaker and unplug the old unit.
- Replace worn sink flange/gasket and use plumber’s putty.
- Align discharge to the trap, tighten, then leak-test.
- Remove the dishwasher knockout if needed.
