Getting Started with Garbage Disposal Installation Near Me in Austin, Texas

Keeping plumbing systems up and running efficiently is one of the most important concerns when it comes to residential property maintenance. Buried, hidden plumbing such as gas lines, sewer connections and garbage disposals can become seriously damaged or clogged if not properly maintained. In Austin, Texas, Abacus residential and commercial plumbers are proficient in repairing all kinds of plumbing issues and can help ensure your garbage disposals are correctly installed and running smoothly.

Installing a garbage disposal is one of the most common plumbing services offered in Austin, Texas. Garbage disposals are designed to shred food waste down to a particle size small enough to be flushed from the plumbing system. When installed properly, garbage disposals save time and make disposing of food waste easy. The process of installing a new garbage disposal into an existing or new plumbing system should not be attempted as a DIY project. It is always best to contact a licensed plumber.

One of our licensed, capable plumbers will make sure not only that it is properly installed, but will check for mistakes such as corrosion or other potential problems. They will also take time to answer all questions and address any concerns. Abacus' top-of-the-line technicians are certified and experienced in garbage disposal installation, committed to proper safety protocols, disabled safeguards, and the prevention of water damage and hazardous materials in your home.

Garbage disposals are usually powered by electricity and connected to the nearest receptacle. To ensure the electricity is correctly supplied, a dedicated 20-amp, 115-volt outlet must be installed properly to avoid any potential plumbing damage due to overloads and short-circuiting. The outlet should also be GFCI-protected, in accordance with safety regulations.

Once the necessary electric connections are made, the actual disposal unit should be mounted securely to the disposal area and connected to the nearest sink drain. This should be done by a knowledgeable and experienced plumber. Next, the drain pipe has to be reconnected to the disposal unit and the dishwasher drain hose connected to the disposer’s air gap.

Finally, the sink drain pipe assembly must be properly sealed. This is necessary to avoid any risks of flooding or water damage, as well as to prevent foul odors due to gas or any sewer-related issues. For proper testing of the garbage disposal’s capacity and performance, a plumber may even suggest using food waste of different consistencies and textures to run the process a few times.

Garbage disposal installation can be a difficult and hazardous process when done improperly, but with the help of our Abacus licensed plumbers, you can rest assured that your new disposal will be connected properly and meet all safety regulations. Abacus provides professional services and a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.
