Can I install a garbage disposal myself without hiring a plumber?

Yes, you can install a garbage disposal yourself, but many homeowners hire a licensed plumber to avoid leaks, misaligned waste pipes, and recurring odors. Eric’s Plumbing & Drain Cleaning offers same-day diagnosis, repair, or replacement in Provo, Orem, and nearby cities. We provide set pricing (no hourly rate), a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and a one-year repair warranty. Our techs explain your options and, per reviews, often complete installs in about an hour.

Quick checks:

• Measure under-sink clearance.
• Confirm drain connections match the unit.
• Test for leaks and odors after install.
