Frequently Asked Questions

How long do garbage disposals last?

Average lifespan is 8-15 years. Higher-end models with stainless steel components last longer. Signs of failure include frequent jams, leaks, persistent odors, and unusual noise.

Are garbage disposals bad for plumbing?

Not with proper use. Avoid putting grease, bones, fibrous foods (celery, artichokes), and non-food items down the disposal. Run cold water while operating and for 15 seconds after.

Why does garbage disposal installation cost different in Dallas than other cities?

Dallas's costs reflect local labor rates driven by the finance-tech-telecom economy, humid-subtropical climate conditions that affect materials and scheduling, and moderate permitting requirements. The competitive labor market also influences competitive pricing.
