What are the signs I need a new garbage disposal?
Replace your disposal if it jams frequently, makes grinding or humming noises without working, leaks from the bottom (seal failure), takes longer than usual to grind food, or produces persistent odors despite cleaning. Most disposals last 8–12 years, so age alone is a good indicator.
Can I install a garbage disposal myself?
If you have basic plumbing skills and your sink is already wired for a disposal, a DIY swap can take 1–2 hours. However, new installations requiring electrical wiring or plumbing modifications should be done by a licensed professional. Incorrect installation can cause leaks, electrical hazards, or void your warranty.
