Garbage Disposal Installation Garden Grove
Got a dead garbage disposal? Maybe it hums but won’t spin, or worse, leaks water under your sink. Our garbage disposal installation in Garden Grove gets your kitchen back to normal without the mess or guesswork. Whether it’s a brand-new unit or replacing a jammed-up old one, we make sure it fits, drains right, and doesn’t trip the breaker.
We show up with fresh cords, new putty, and the right flange hardware for your sink. We check for any rusted wiring, cracked drain lines, or broken mounting rings that could cause future problems. Everything gets torqued and tested before we leave. You won’t need to clean up after us, and you won’t be left Googling why it won’t turn on.

Replacing a Disposal by Twin Lakes Park in West Garden Grove
We got a call from a guy living near Twin Lakes Park, close to the West Garden Grove Little League fields. His disposal locked up solid and tripped the breaker every time he flipped the switch. He figured it was clogged, but it turned out the bearings were completely rusted and the motor smelled burnt.
He had a new unit already, so we swapped it in that same day. The flange was warped and the sink had old dried putty that never sealed right. We cleaned the area, replaced the mounting ring, checked for leaks, and ran a full test cycle. He said it was the quietest one he’d ever heard. Even got a thumbs-up from his kid who thought it was “cool it ate an ice cube.”
What Happens During a Garbage Disposal Install
First, we shut off the power under the sink or at the panel. Then we unbolt the old disposal from the mounting ring, disconnect the drain pipe, and remove the wiring. If the old flange is still good, we clean and reuse it. If not, we replace it with a new stainless one using fresh plumber’s putty.
We connect the wiring with new wire nuts and a strain relief clamp. Once the new unit is mounted and locked into place, we hook up the dishwasher drain if needed and bolt on the tailpiece to your sink’s P-trap. Then we flip the power back on and run water through it while checking for vibration, leaks, and jams.
Every install’s a little different depending on the age of the plumbing and the model of disposal. But no matter what, it ends clean and tight.
DIY Garbage Disposal Mistakes That Happen A Lot
One guy used duct tape instead of a proper strain relief clamp. The wires pulled loose and blew a fuse.
Another customer on Orangewood Ave installed a disposal without knocking out the dishwasher plug. It flooded his cabinet every time he ran a cycle.
We even had a homeowner try sealing a leak with caulk instead of replacing the gasket. It worked for a day… until it didn’t.
