When your old garbage disposal is no longer doing the job that it should, it’s time to look into having a new one installed. You can do it yourself if you are skilled at plumbing, but can be much harder and more involved than it looks. There are many local plumbers who know how to install the disposals in your kitchen correctly and safely.
Installing a garbage disposal isn’t the easiest task that you can tackle in your home. If you feel inclined to do it yourself, make sure that you know exactly what to do and what steps you need to follow. If you are unsure of what to do, ask your plumber for their help. There are many steps for you to follow in order to make sure it all goes according to plan.
The first tip that your local plumber will give to you is to make sure that the old drain and all of its pieces have been taken out of the sink. You will have to disconnect all of the power to it as well, so as to not shock yourself when you are making the installation. When connecting the new parts and the new disposal, it is always best to start with a fresh, clean slate.
Before you can truly start the full installation, you will need to remove the sink strainer. It is the piece that looks like a large ball that covers the pipe. Once you have taken that off, it is time to start mounting the major parts. The mounting assembly is the first piece that goes on. After you have gotten that in place, make sure that all of the screws are on good and tight. You can now mount the new disposal. It is important to make sure that you connect the waste pipe to the new disposal. This will help the disposal flush waste into your system. The final step is to connect the power source. This is key to having the disposal working.
There is plenty of advice that local plumbers can give you about the installation of a new disposal. If you can follow all of these tips, you are on your way to a successful installation. If you feel as if you need more help, your local plumber can do the installation for you. They can even let you observe as they install the disposal. If you truly want to learn how to do a full installation, ask your plumber to walk you through step by step. They can name the parts for you and perhaps they will even let you take part in the installation. The more that you can learn from watching someone else do it, the better you will be at an installation when it comes time for you to do one on your own. Your next disposal installation may not be right around the corner, but it may come sooner than you think.
