When a disposal is beyond repair, replacement is a straightforward job. Here is what Dayton homeowners should know.
When to replace
A disposal that leaks, keeps jamming, trips the breaker, or is more than eight to ten years old is usually a better candidate for replacement than another repair.
Choose the right unit
Match the disposal to your household's use — a larger motor handles more, and a quieter unit matters in an open kitchen.
The install
Replacing a disposal means disconnecting the old unit, mounting the new one, and reconnecting the drain and dishwasher line. A pro also checks the drain for buildup.
Do it with the drain line
While the disposal is off, it is the ideal moment to clear the sink drain. freezing winters put stress on exposed lines, and many older homes still have aging galvanized pipes In Dayton, this prevents a clog right after the new unit goes in.
