Garbage disposal installation in Charlotte, NC
Starting at $195 — a starting point, not a final estimate
Disposals fail in predictable ways: they hum without turning, leak from the bottom housing, or simply stop. Replacement is straightforward when the sink flange and drain layout cooperate, and we test the whole drain run before packing up.

What this typically includes
- Disconnecting and removing the failed unit
- Fitting the new mounting assembly and sink flange
- Re-plumbing the drain and dishwasher inlet as needed
- Running water through it to confirm no leaks at any joint
What can affect the final price
- Whether the existing mounting ring is reusable or must be replaced
- Changes in unit size that force the drain trap to be re-cut
- Existing hard-wired connection versus a plug-in cord
- Cabinet clearance and how much has to come out first
What photos to send
- The full fixture and the surrounding counter, wall, or floor
- Close-up of the leak, drip, crack, or problem area
- Under the sink — connections and shutoff valves, if you can see them safely
- Any replacement faucet, disposal, or part, with the model label
- Photograph the underside of the sink showing the disposal and drain trap
- Include the new unit's box or model number
Don't disconnect or take anything apart — just photograph what you can see.

How pricing works
Starting at $195 for this task on its own. We price standard jobs by the task, with a $149 minimum service visit. Add more standard tasks and their starting prices are totalled up; you get the final number in writing before work begins. See more in Small plumbing.
All prices are starting points. Scope, materials, specialty hardware, access, wall type, travel and parking, disposal, permits, and regulated-trade requirements may affect the final price. You'll always get the number before we start.
Charlotte coverage
This service is offered across Charlotte, NC and surrounding neighborhoods, subject to current availability. See the Charlotte service area.

Questions about this service
- Is my disposal actually dead?
- If it hums but doesn't spin it's often just jammed, and freeing it is far cheaper than a replacement. Tell us the symptom and we'll try the cheap fix first.
- Does this need an electrician?
- Not for a like-for-like swap on an existing circuit. Adding a new circuit or switch is licensed electrical work and we'd refer you.
- Which unit should I buy?
- For most Charlotte kitchens a 1/2 to 3/4 HP continuous-feed unit is plenty. Match the horsepower to what you had unless it was underpowered.
