A leaking garbage disposal is one of those problems that starts small and gets out of hand fast. Water pooling under the sink, soggy cabinet floors, the smell - it adds up. And most of the time, a repair just doesn't cut it. Sometimes you need a full replacement done right.
That's exactly what we were dealing with here. The old disposal had run its course, and the under-sink plumbing needed attention too. We pulled everything out and got to work - new disposal mounted, drain lines checked, connections tightened down properly.
This kind of job looks straightforward from the outside, but there's a lot going on in a tight cabinet space. Getting the disposal seated correctly, making sure the drain connections are leak-free, and keeping the supply lines clear and organized - it all matters. A sloppy install under the sink is how you end up back in the same situation a few months down the road.
We don't cut corners on the stuff you can't see. The whole point is that once we close that cabinet door, you shouldn't have to think about it again. Garbage disposal repair and installation is one of the most common calls we get, and we've seen just about every scenario there is.
If your disposal is humming but not grinding, leaking at the base, or just flat-out dead - don't wait on it. A small leak can do real damage to your cabinet and subfloor over time. Total Care Plumbing handles it all, start to finish.
