Our Complete Garbage Disposal Installation Process
As licensed, bonded, and insured professionals, we follow a step-by-step process that addresses the appliance, under-sink plumbing, and electrical connection. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your home or business.
Our detailed process includes:
- System Inspection and Preparation: We begin by carefully shutting off the power and water supply to the area. We inspect the existing plumbing under your sink for compatibility with the new unit.
- Removal of the Old Unit: We detach the existing disposal, disconnecting the plumbing and electrical wiring. We take care to protect your sink basin and cabinetry throughout the removal process.
- Mounting and Sealing: We install the mounting assembly and new sink flange, applying plumber’s putty to create a watertight seal that helps prevent leaks.
- Wiring and Connection: We connect the electrical wiring and attach the disposal to the mounting assembly. We then connect the drain pipe, including the dishwasher drain line if applicable, confirming all connections are secure.
- Leak Testing and Demonstration: We restore power and water, running the unit multiple times to check for leaks, proper grinding, and smooth operation. We walk you through how to operate and maintain your new appliance.

When to Choose Garbage Disposal Replacement in Spokane
It can sometimes be difficult to know whether you need a simple repair or a complete replacement. Certain signs warrant a professional assessment. An older unit with recurring problems may no longer be cost-effective to repair. Our team provides honest assessments to help you determine whether continued repairs make sense or whether a new installation is the better investment.
Common Signs Your Disposal May Need Replacement
Common signals that prompt Spokane homeowners to call us for garbage disposal replacement include:
Loud Grinding or Humming: Excessive rattling or a persistent hum without grinding often points to a motor or blade problem. A unit that hums without processing food waste should be assessed before continued use.
Frequent Jams and Clogs: Constantly hitting the reset button or dealing with slow drainage may indicate worn grinding components that can no longer handle normal food waste volume.
Persistent Leaks: A leak from the base of the unit often signals failed internal seals or, less commonly, a cracked housing. Either problem typically requires replacement rather than a simple repair.
Strong, Unpleasant Odors: If thorough cleaning can’t eliminate foul smells, waste materials may be trapped in inaccessible internal components, indicating the unit itself has degraded.
Electrical or Power Issues: A disposal that frequently trips the circuit breaker, sparks, or fails to activate shouldn’t be operated until it has been professionally inspected.
When you choose Shaw Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning for garbage disposal replacement in Spokane, we manage the safe removal and disposal of your old unit, making the transition straightforward.
Fast Solutions for Broken or Failing Garbage Disposals
Nothing brings a kitchen to a standstill like a malfunctioning disposal. In Spokane homes and businesses, we regularly address jammed blades, burnt-out motors, persistent leaks, and units that won’t turn on. A faulty disposal isn’t just an inconvenience: left unattended, a leak beneath the sink can reach cabinetry and flooring, turning a plumbing call into a larger repair. Before recommending replacement, we assess whether the problem lies with the appliance itself, the mounting seal, the drain connection, or the electrical supply.
We offer rapid, flexible service to minimize your downtime:
- Same-day appointments when possible, plus weekend appointments
- 24/7 emergency response for situations that can’t wait
If you’re facing a disposal breakdown in Spokane, our team can assess the issue and walk you through your repair or replacement options honestly.
Don’t wait for a leak to get worse. Call our team at (509) 605-6070, or connect with us online today.

Same-day appointments may be available, depending on when you call and the schedule. We offer flexible scheduling, including weekend appointments and 24/7 emergency service for urgent situations. Our team can review the available options and help you find a suitable appointment.
What Should I Do If My Garbage Disposal Is Leaking or Jammed?
Turn off power to the unit and stop using the sink until a professional can inspect it. Don’t place your hands or tools into the disposal, and avoid operating a unit that is leaking, sparking, or repeatedly tripping power. When you call our Spokane plumbers, we can guide you through any immediate safety steps and send a technician to assess the situation.

We work with homes and businesses throughout the Spokane area and can coordinate sourcing a reliable unit suited to your specific installation. The goal is a disposal that fits your kitchen and is suited to the way you actually use it.
