Repair, Replace, or Upgrade Your Garbage Disposal?
We'll give you the straight answer — not the one that makes us the most money.
Replace It
Best when the unit itself is leaking or worn out
Water leaking from the body of the disposal means the seals inside have failed. That, or a 10+ year old motor, usually means it's time for a new one.
Upgrade It
Best for busy kitchens
Step up from a basic 1/3 HP unit to a quieter, more powerful model with sound insulation and jam protection. Qualifying units come with our available lifetime warranty.

Rubber Cement and Optimism
I'll be honest — the wear we see on garbage disposals around here is pretty predictable. Hard water and well water scale. Old drain connections that corrode the mounting flange. Units that were underpowered for the household from day one.
We've been pulling the same problems out of Northern California kitchens since 1998, and I still pick up the occasional surprise. What doesn't surprise me anymore: a 10-year-old unit held together with rubber cement and optimism. (Please don't do that.) Just call us — free quote, no service call fee, and a straight answer.

Garbage Disposal Questions, Answered
Quick, honest answers to what Northern California homeowners ask us most.
How much does garbage disposal replacement cost?
Earl's Plumbing gives a free, upfront quote before any garbage disposal work begins. Price depends on the unit you choose, its horsepower, and whether the drain or dishwasher connection needs work too. You approve the price before we start. There is no service call fee, and online customers get $25 off. Call or text (530) 343-0330.
Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?
Replacement is usually the smarter choice when a garbage disposal leaks from the bottom of the unit, keeps tripping its reset button, grinds loudly, or is more than 10 years old. A jam, a loose connection, or a leaking drain fitting can often be repaired. Earl's Plumbing diagnoses it first and gives you a straight recommendation, with no upselling.
Does Earl's Plumbing charge a service call fee for garbage disposal service?
Earl's Plumbing charges no service call fee, ever. I've always felt that you shouldn't have to pay just to find out what something costs. We come out, take a look at your disposal, and give you a free quote. If you decide not to move forward, you owe us nothing. We've been family-owned in Northern California since 1998.
What garbage disposal brands does Earl's Plumbing install?
Earl's Plumbing installs all major garbage disposal brands, including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, and Kohler. We help you pick the right horsepower for your household, from a basic 1/3 HP unit for light use to a quiet 1 HP stainless model with sound insulation and jam protection for busy kitchens. We can also install a unit you already bought.
Is there a warranty on garbage disposal installation?
Earl's Plumbing offers an available lifetime warranty on qualifying garbage disposal installations, covering parts and labor. If a covered unit fails under normal use, we come back and make it right at no charge. Your technician will tell you which units qualify when they give you your free quote, and all work is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
How long does garbage disposal replacement take?
Most garbage disposal replacements take under an hour for an experienced Earl's Plumbing technician. Installing a disposal where there wasn't one before, or fixing the drain or electrical hookup, can take a bit longer. Your technician will give you an honest time estimate before starting any work, and we test everything and clean up before we leave.
Can a leaking garbage disposal damage my cabinet?
A leaking garbage disposal can ruin a sink cabinet faster than most people expect. Even a slow drip from the sink flange or drain connection can soak particle board in days and lead to swelling, mold, and rot. If you see moisture under the sink, put a towel down, stop running the disposal, and call Earl's Plumbing for a look. Not sure it's the disposal? See our leak detection service.
Can Earl's Plumbing come out today, and can I text instead of calling?
Earl's Plumbing offers same-day service when a technician is available, and calls are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Every office line also takes texts: Chico (530) 343-0330, Redding (530) 244-3275, or Yuba City (530) 674-0330. Text your name and address, and the office will get you on the schedule.
