FAQs
What types of garbage disposals do you install in Alcoa, and how do I choose the right unit?
We install continuous-feed and batch-feed garbage disposals from leading brands such as InSinkErator, Moen, and Waste King. When helping you select a unit, we consider your household size, typical food waste volume, noise-level preferences, and the horsepower that best matches those needs (⅓ HP for light use, ½–¾ HP for average families, and 1 HP+ for heavy use). We also look at under-sink space, existing electrical connections, and any septic-system requirements to ensure the model you choose is compatible with your plumbing and lifestyle.
How much does a professional garbage disposal installation usually cost in Alcoa?
Most standard garbage disposal installations range between $250 and $450, which includes the disposal unit, labor, minor plumbing parts, and basic electrical hookups. Pricing can increase if you opt for a higher-horsepower model, need additional electrical work (such as adding an outlet or switch), or require modifications to existing drain lines. We provide free written estimates up front so you know the exact investment before work begins.
How long does it take to replace an existing garbage disposal or plumbing fixture?
A straightforward garbage disposal swap typically takes 60–90 minutes. Replacing common plumbing fixtures—like faucets, sinks, or toilets—usually requires 1–2 hours per fixture, depending on accessibility and whether any corroded shut-off valves or drain parts need attention. We schedule appointments in convenient two-hour windows and arrive with all necessary tools and parts to keep your downtime to a minimum.
Can you dispose of my old garbage disposal or plumbing fixture after replacement?
Yes. We remove and recycle or responsibly dispose of your old garbage disposal, faucet, sink, or toilet at no additional charge. Metal components are sent to local recycling facilities whenever possible, while non-recyclable materials are handled in accordance with Blount County waste regulations.
Do I need a permit for garbage disposal installation or fixture replacement in Alcoa?
Simple like-for-like swaps usually do not require a permit. However, if the project involves new electrical wiring, drain line reconfiguration, or structural changes (for example, moving a sink location), the City of Alcoa and Blount County codes may require a plumbing or electrical permit. Our licensed technicians handle all permitting and inspection paperwork on your behalf to ensure the job meets local and International Plumbing Code standards.
What kind of warranty and post-installation support do you offer?
All of our garbage disposal and fixture installations in Alcoa include a 1-year labor warranty covering workmanship and installation-related leaks or operational issues. The disposals themselves carry manufacturer warranties ranging from 2 to 10 years, depending on the model. If you experience any problems, simply call our office and we’ll schedule a priority service visit—usually within 24 hours—to diagnose and resolve the issue at no cost during the warranty period.
