Why Homeowners Choose Our Team

Inviting a plumbing company into your kitchen is a big decision. You are trusting someone with your time, your budget, and your home. We understand that, and our goal is to make the entire experience as straightforward and predictable as we can.

Our company was founded by a Boston native and has been serving the area since 2008. Over those years, we have worked in triple-deckers, brownstones, condos, and single-family homes across the city and nearby communities. That local experience helps us plan for tight cabinets, older piping, and the other quirks that come with homes here.

Clear, flat-rate pricing is at the center of how we work. Before we start a garbage disposal installation or replacement, we review the situation, explain what is needed, and provide a flat price for the work. You know the cost up front, and we do not add surprise fees without talking with you first.

Scheduling is designed around real life, not the other way around. We offer same-day and next-day appointments when our calendar allows, and we provide a two-hour arrival window so you are not waiting around all day. Our plumbers call or message if something changes, and we communicate so you know what to expect.

Once we are in your kitchen, we treat it the way we would want ours treated. We set down protection where needed, work carefully around cabinets and finishes, and clean up when the job is done. Our team takes time to answer questions, show you how the new disposal operates, and confirm that everything is working before we leave.

When To Repair Or Replace

Many homeowners are unsure whether they really need a new disposal or if a repair could keep the current unit working. That uncertainty can make it hard to call for help. We work to explain the difference so you can make a decision that makes sense for your home and budget.

Some problems are often minor. A simple jam from a utensil or food item, a unit that needs to be reset, or a small issue with the switch can sometimes be resolved without a full replacement. During a visit, our plumbers check these basics and talk with you about what they find.

Other signs usually point toward a new disposal. Frequent leaks under the sink, a disposal that trips the breaker repeatedly, a motor that hums but does not turn, or a unit that is very old are all warning signs. In older buildings here, long-term moisture from small leaks can damage cabinet bases and floors, so it is important to address these issues promptly.

Age and cost are two major factors. If a disposal is near or beyond its typical service life and needs a repair that approaches the cost of a new unit, replacement often becomes the practical choice. Our plumbers explain the cost difference between repair and replacement before you decide, and our recommendation is based on what we would do in our own homes.

You stay in control of the decision. We do not pressure you into a specific option. Instead, we walk through what we see, outline the likely lifespan of each choice, and answer your questions in plain language.

Our Garbage Disposal Installation Process

When our plumber arrives, they introduce themselves and inspect your existing setup. This includes the disposal, sink, trap, and visible drain piping. In many Boston homes, space under the sink is tight, and older drain connections can require extra care, so we plan the work with that in mind.

Before any work begins, we explain our recommendations. If there is a reasonable repair option, we describe that. If replacement is the better choice, we explain why and review a flat-rate price for the work. You approve the job and cost before we proceed.

The installation itself typically includes shutting off power, removing the old disposal, checking the mounting assembly, and installing the new unit. We connect the discharge to the existing drain, confirm that dishwasher and drain connections are secure, and restore power. Throughout, we protect cabinets and flooring as needed.

Once installed, we run water through the disposal several cycles and check carefully for leaks or unusual noises. We also go over basic operation and care, such as what should and should not go into the disposal. Our plumber cleans up the work area, gathers old materials, and makes sure your kitchen is ready to use.

Throughout the visit, we keep you informed. If we run into an unexpected issue, such as a drain connection that needs attention, we stop to talk with you about it before proceeding with additional work. That is part of our commitment to integrity and clear communication.

Choosing A Garbage Disposal Unit

Many homeowners call us after picking out a disposal, while others prefer guidance before buying anything. Either way, we help you think through which unit fits your kitchen and household. Our goal is to make the choice less overwhelming and more practical.

Motor size is one of the first considerations. Smaller households with light use may be comfortable with a modest motor, while larger families or those who cook frequently often benefit from a stronger unit. We explain how motor size relates to performance, not in technical jargon, but in terms of day-to-day use.

Noise level and physical size also matter, especially in homes where kitchens can be compact and living spaces are close together. Some units offer quieter operation that might be helpful in open floor plans or condos. We take into account the cabinet's height and width, existing plumbing, and how much storage space you want to preserve.

Compatibility with your current sink, drain, and electrical setup is another key point. Older sinks or drain lines may limit certain configurations. Our plumbers review these details during the visit and let you know which types of disposals are suitable. If you have already purchased a unit, we will let you know if it will work safely with your system.

Whether you choose a new disposal through us or supply your own model, we focus on a safe, code-compliant installation and clear explanations. We want you to feel confident that the unit in your kitchen is appropriate for your home and that you understand how to use it effectively.
