You get a disposal that actually grinds food waste like it’s supposed to. Quick cleanup after meals. A kitchen that stays clean and fresh. That’s what proper garbage disposal service looks like.
We’ve been serving Blanton homeowners since 2013. We know the older homes in this area and understand what it takes to properly integrate modern garbage disposals with existing plumbing systems.
Every job is an opportunity to do right by our neighbors. We treat your home with the same respect we’d want for our own. Professional service that’s still friendly enough that you’re comfortable having us work in your kitchen.
We offer 10% discounts to seniors and military members because we appreciate what you’ve done for our community. When we say we’ll be there, we show up. If something’s going to take longer than expected, we tell you upfront.
First, we assess your current setup and kitchen sink to determine what type of disposal will work best. Not all disposals fit all sinks, and we make sure you get one that’s properly supported and won’t cause problems down the road.
Next, we handle the installation or repair work. This includes proper electrical connections, plumbing hookups, and making sure everything is sealed correctly. We test the unit thoroughly before we consider the job complete.
Finally, we show you how to use and maintain your disposal properly. This includes what you can and can’t put down it, how to keep it clean, and simple maintenance that will extend its life. You’ll know exactly how to keep your new disposal working right for years.

Our garbage disposal service includes proper unit selection based on your specific kitchen setup and usage needs. We consider factors like your sink type, available space, and how much food waste your household typically generates.
Installation includes all necessary plumbing and electrical work, plus proper testing to ensure everything functions correctly. We use quality components and follow manufacturer specifications to prevent future problems.
Blanton’s older homes often require special attention when installing modern disposals. We understand the unique challenges of working with older plumbing systems and have the experience to handle integration properly. Many homes in our area have specific requirements that generic installation doesn’t address.
You can safely put most soft food scraps down your disposal, including vegetable peels, small amounts of cooked meat, pasta, and citrus fruits. The key is running cold water before, during, and after use to help everything flow properly.
Never put grease, oil, or fat down your disposal as these solidify and cause clogs. Coffee grounds might seem harmless but they clump together and create blockages. Eggshells are problematic because the membrane inside can wrap around the blades.
Avoid fibrous vegetables like celery, corn husks, and potato peels in large quantities. These can tangle around the disposal mechanism and cause jams. When in doubt, throw it in the trash instead.
If your disposal is making unusual grinding, buzzing, or rattling noises, that’s usually a sign something’s wrong. Complete loss of power, frequent jamming with soft foods, or water leaking from the unit all indicate repair needs.
Age is another factor. Most disposals last 10-15 years with proper maintenance. If yours is approaching that age and having frequent problems, replacement often makes more sense than repeated repairs.
Strange smells that don’t go away with cleaning, or if the disposal struggles with foods it used to handle easily, these are signs the unit is wearing out. We can assess whether repair or replacement is the better option for your situation.
Most disposal jams happen because people put the wrong things down them or don’t use enough water. Fibrous foods, grease buildup, or trying to grind too much at once are common causes.
Sometimes the problem is the disposal itself. Older units or improperly sized disposals for your household’s needs will jam more frequently. If your disposal can’t handle normal food waste, it might be underpowered for your kitchen.
In Blanton’s older homes, sometimes the issue is with the plumbing connections or electrical supply. We check the entire system to identify whether the jamming is from user error, disposal problems, or installation issues.
Most garbage disposal installations take 2-3 hours, depending on your current setup. If you already have a disposal, replacement is usually straightforward. First-time installations take longer because we need to modify plumbing and add electrical connections.
Older Blanton homes sometimes require additional work if the existing plumbing or electrical isn’t compatible with modern disposals. We assess everything upfront so you know what to expect before we start.
We don’t rush the job. Proper installation means checking all connections, testing thoroughly, and making sure everything works correctly. Taking time to do it right prevents problems later and ensures your disposal will last for years.
Yes, we warranty our installation work because we stand behind what we do. The specific warranty terms depend on the type of work and components involved, but we make sure you’re protected if something goes wrong with our installation.
Manufacturer warranties on the disposal unit itself are separate from our installation warranty. We’ll explain both coverages so you understand what’s protected and for how long.
If you have any issues with our installation work, we come back and make it right. That’s part of treating every job as an opportunity to do right by our neighbors. We’re not satisfied until you’re satisfied with how everything works.
Garbage disposals typically range from 1/3 horsepower to 1 horsepower. Higher horsepower units handle tougher food waste and are less likely to jam, but they’re not always necessary for every household.
For most Blanton families, a 1/2 horsepower disposal provides good performance without being overkill. Larger households or those who cook frequently might benefit from 3/4 horsepower units.
The key is matching the disposal to your actual needs and your sink’s capabilities. Some kitchen sinks can’t properly support heavier, high-powered units. We help you choose the right balance of power and compatibility for your specific situation.
