Can I install a garbage disposal myself without hiring a plumber?
Yes, some homeowners can replace a like-for-like garbage disposal with basic tools. If the sink flange, drain alignment, and power connection already match, DIY may be doable. For new installs, drain rework, dishwasher tie-ins, or leak/electrical concerns, hire a plumber. Aquarius Home Services provides disposal removal, installation, and related sink work with up-front, job-based pricing and a service guarantee.
Quick checks before DIY:
- Confirm a working under-sink outlet and switch.
- Verify the mounting ring and gasket condition.
- Check trap alignment and dishwasher knockout.
