Garbage Disposal Installation
New installs, remodels, continuous and batch feed units, compact and high-HP upgrades.
The Arboretum area is northwest Austin's commercial and residential crossroads: Great Hills, Spicewood Springs Road, and 1980s neighborhoods that have aged gracefully. Disposal work in 78759 is dominated by second-generation replacements in well-kept family homes, plus a healthy stream of upgrades as owners refresh kitchens. The original 1980s builder units are history; the mid-range replacements from the 2000s are now leaking or losing power. We do a lot of 3/4 HP upgrades here because the households cook seriously and the open kitchens amplify noise. Jollyville Road spillover keeps us routed through the area constantly. Expect a flat quote, a single visit, and a work area left cleaner than we found it.
Whether you need a new garbage disposal installed, a jammed or leaking unit repaired, or a full replacement, our plumbers serve Arboretum daily with same-day appointments and flat-rate quotes confirmed before work starts.

Arboretum Homes and Their Disposals
1980s and 1990s single-family homes, many updated with stone counters and deeper sinks, plus condo and townhome complexes near the Arboretum. Cabinets are full-size in the houses and compact in the condos. The disposals being replaced are second-generation mid-range models. Remodeled kitchens with farmhouse sinks need trap-arm height verification, which we include in every quote. The condo complexes near the retail core add HOA coordination to some jobs, which we handle routinely.
Working Around Arboretum
When we are not under a sink in Arboretum, you will find our trucks near local landmarks like:
- The Arboretum
- Great Hills Country Club
- Spicewood Springs Road
- Jollyville Road
Local note: Kitchen refreshes are the rhythm of 78759: when the counters and sink get upgraded, the 15-year-old disposal underneath suddenly looks like the weak link, and it usually is. We coordinate timing with remodelers so the disposal goes in after the sink is set but before the plumber leaves, which avoids a second trip and a second mess. Bundle the flange, the disposal, and the dishwasher hookup in one visit.

- Flange seated with fresh plumber's putty, never dry, so it never weeps
- Discharge and dishwasher lines secured with no sags or low spots
- Horsepower matched to your household, not just the cheapest unit
- Full test run with water before we call the job done
