Expert Garbage Disposal Installation & Replacement Services in South Tampa

A garbage disposal simplifies kitchen cleanup by grinding food scraps into small particles, which can safely flow through your plumbing system. However, improper installation or worn-out units can lead to frequent clogs, unpleasant odors, or even plumbing damage. That's why it’s crucial to trust professionals like South Tampa Plumbing to handle your installation and replacement needs.

If your garbage disposal isn't performing as it should, it may be time for a replacement. Here are some signs to watch for:

• Frequent Clogs: A unit that clogs often, even with proper use, could indicate it's no longer grinding effectively.
• Strange Noises: Unusual grinding or rattling sounds might mean internal components are worn or broken.
• Persistent Odors: Lingering smells after thorough cleaning can signal buildup or inefficiency.
• Leaks: Water pooling under the sink may be due to a cracked unit or improper seal.
• Age: If your system is over 10 years old, upgrading to a newer model can improve performance and efficiency.

Not all garbage disposals are created equal. Selecting the right unit involves considering factors like power, noise level, and durability. At South Tampa Plumbing, we’ll guide you through the options to find the perfect fit for your household.

1. Motor Size: We recommend 1/2 horsepower for light use, while 3/4 or 1 horsepower units handle heavier workloads for larger families.
2. Noise Levels: Models with sound insulation reduce noise, perfect for open kitchen layouts.
3. Material Quality: Stainless steel components resist corrosion, ensuring longer-lasting performance.

• Secure Mounting: We guarantee the disposal is firmly and safely installed, preventing leaks or vibrations.
• Correct Electrical Connections: Garbage disposals often require proper wiring, which we handle with expertise.
