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

Yes, you can install a basic garbage disposal yourself, but leaks, drain alignment, or jams often make a pro the safer choice. Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling installs and repairs disposals, offers free estimates with upfront pricing, and can often provide same-day service. Licensed technicians can also handle related sink and drain issues. For reliability, run plenty of cold water during use, feed only soft foods slowly, and avoid harsh chemical drain cleaners. We’re available 24/7 for urgent clogs in Elkhart and South Bend.
