Garbage Disposals
ORMECO can supply replacements for your obsolete or failed disposal unit. Normally, these should last 10-15 years. Installations must meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC), the International Plumbing Code (IPC), and any manufacturer's requirements.

This unit was only 10 years old; it had significant internal corrosion, including rust and oxidation of the aluminum housing.
rusted flywheel
A service request was placed for this unit because of significant vibration. The cause was a missing impeller arm and rusted-out impeller.
New Installation
Shown is a new InSinkErator brand (Emerson) disposal unit. For long-life, it's internal components are fashioned from stainless steel. The housing design ensures ultra-quiet operation.
Leaking Disposal
This customer had an older disposal that began leaking. Unfortunately, this sort of failure is common. For this repair, the customer selected a Badger stainless steel model made by Emerson, which should provide years of trouble-free service. These disposals have a three year, in-home warranty from the manufacturer.
Remember that disposal unit installations are governed by manufacturer's instructions and requirements of the plumbing and electrical codes. After installation, the replacement unit should tested by performing a 15-minute standing water test (check for leaks), and any connected dishwashers operated. In this way, you can ensure the installation was performed correctly.
