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.
