Ready to schedule your garbage disposal installation or replacement in Flowery Branch? Call us at (770) 285-1887 and we can walk you through your options before any work begins.

An Approach Built Around You, Not a Script

We don’t show up with a recommendation already decided. When we arrive, we take time to understand your kitchen setup, how your household uses the sink, and what matters most to you. Then we present good, better, and best options so you can make a confident, informed decision.

Transparent communication is built into every visit. We’ll confirm our ETA before we arrive, explain what we find when we assess your setup, and walk you through what the installation involves. No surprises on scope, no surprises on price. Financing is available through FTL for qualifying installations if budget timing is a concern.

Garbage Disposal Installation & Replacement in Flowery Branch

A disposal installation isn’t just dropping in a new unit. It involves securing the mounting assembly to the sink flange, connecting the discharge tube and drain lines, and verifying drain slope and P-trap compatibility before we leave. Todd’s master plumber credential means the plumbing connections under your sink meet code and are done right.

We also work alongside local contractors, designers, and granite companies during kitchen renovations. If you’re replacing a countertop or sink in a community like Sterling on the Lake, we can coordinate the disposal connection after the countertop installation is complete, cutting the back-and-forth that can slow down a remodel. We’re already familiar with how that workflow runs in Flowery Branch’s active renovation market.

Schedule Your Installation Today

Our 2-year unlimited warranty covers every garbage disposal installation we complete, parts and labor included. If something isn’t right after we leave, we can come back. Reach us at (770) 285-1887 to get on the schedule.

What Happens During a Disposal Installation

Before we touch anything, we confirm our ETA so you’re not left waiting. Once we arrive, we assess the existing setup under the sink and explain what we’re working with. If you have an older unit, we’ll note its condition and factor that into our recommendations. After you’ve chosen the option that fits your household, we shut off the water supply, disconnect and remove the old unit if one is present, and secure the new mounting assembly to the sink flange. The discharge tube and drain lines are connected and checked for proper slope so water drains cleanly. We test the unit before we pack up, and we leave the work area clean.

Choosing the Right Garbage Disposal for Your Home

Horsepower is the starting point. Units typically range from 1/3 HP for light, occasional use up to 1 HP or more for larger households that process significant food waste regularly. Matching the motor to how your household actually uses the sink can help reduce premature wear.

A few other factors worth considering:

Noise level: Sound-insulated grinding chambers keep things quieter in open-plan kitchens where the sink is close to living spaces
Septic compatibility: If your home is on a septic system, confirm the disposal is compatible with your tank capacity before installation
Drain line configuration: Your existing sink and P-trap setup affect which models install cleanly without modification

Todd can assess your current configuration and recommend a model that fits your kitchen, not just one that fits the box.

Local, Family-Owned, & Familiar with Flowery Branch

Upshaw Plumbing is based in Flowery Branch and serves homeowners throughout Hall County. Being local means we know the construction styles, the renovation contractors, and the neighborhoods where kitchen remodels are happening. When your countertop installer wraps up, we’re ready to follow with the disposal connection without delays from a plumber learning your area for the first time.

Honesty, integrity, punctuality, and efficiency aren’t phrases we use lightly. They shape how we schedule, how we communicate, and how we handle every job. The PlumbingCare Maintenance Agreement extends that relationship with priority service and discounts for customers who want a plumber they already trust for future needs.

When Replacement Makes More Sense Than Repair

Garbage disposals typically last between 8 and 15 years depending on use and maintenance. Past that range, repairs start competing with the cost of a new unit. First-time installation is also common when a kitchen renovation is already underway. If you’re replacing a countertop or sink and don’t currently have a disposal, combining that project with a new installation can reduce overall labor and disruption.

Signs a garbage disposal replacement may be the better investment:

Frequent resets: If you’re hitting the reset button regularly, the motor is struggling
Humming without grinding: The motor runs but the grinding plate won’t turn, usually meaning a seized mechanism
Leaks from the unit body: A crack in the housing can’t be patched and signals the end of the unit’s useful life
Loud or unusual grinding noise: Worn grinding components often make replacement more cost-effective than repair
