Gulf Coast Appliance Repair Also Does Garbage Disposal Installation
Garbage disposals have become a staple in many homes because of their convenience. However, older sinks and garbage disposal systems that no longer work properly should be replaced, and the sooner the better. While you can do it on your own, in most cases, installing a garbage disposal is best left to the professionals. Here is the process we follow at Gulf Coast Appliance Repair:
Remove the Old Garbage Disposal System
This step in the process seems like a no-brainer, but doing it can be tricky. These systems can weigh up to 15 pounds so we like to use supports when removing them – you should too if you’re attempting a DIY garbage disposal removal. Also, be sure the power is turned off to the unit to prevent any accidents.
Installing a New Garbage Disposal
While all systems and installation processes are a little different from unit to unit, most of them require stacking the different components of the disposal. We make sure components like mounting rings and fiber gaskets will need to be fixed in their correct positions before they are attached to the disposal of the drain. The final step in the process is to connect the unit to the electrical system of your home. Again, DIY garbage disposal installation is possible, but it’s easier and safer to reach out to our team at Gulf Coast Appliance Repair for assistance.
Testing the New Garbage Disposal System
Once your garbage disposal has been installed, we’ll fill the sink with an inch or so of water and put the stopper in the drain, then check below the sink for any signs of leaks. If no water drip is evident, we will know that the seals we installed were positioned correctly. Then we will turn the power back on.
We are ready to help things run smoother in your kitchen with our expert garbage disposal installation service. Trust our professionals to handle your install from start to finish. Give us a call today!
