                     Is A Garbage Disposal 
Required To Have A 
Plumber Install It?
Can I Install a Garbage Disposal Without a 
Plumber?
If you are thinking about installing a garbage disposal yourself, there is no 
need to call a plumber. In most cases, an adequately installed garbage 
disposal can be done by simply following the manufacturer's instructions. 
However, there are a few things to keep in mind if you choose to do it 
yourself.
First, make sure all the required parts are present and accounted for before 
beginning. These include the disposal unit itself, pipes and hoses needed to 
connect it to the drain system, and enough sealant or gasket material to 
secure the pipes against leaks. 
Second, be sure to read and follow all installation instructions carefully. Failure 
to do so could result in poor performance or even dangerous leaks. And 
finally, always wear gloves when working with hot pipes or sharp objects—
doing so can help avoid burns.
Do I Need a New Garbage Disposal Installation?
There are a few things to keep in mind when deciding whether or not you need 
a new garbage disposal installation. The first is to determine the capacity of 
your sink. If your sink is less than 12 inches wide, then you don't need a new 
disposal because it can fit under the sink. 
On the other hand, if your sink is wider than 12 inches, you will likely need to 
install a new one. Secondly, consider how often the garbage disposal needs to 
be cleaned. A daily cleaning might be enough for a small kitchen, but if you 
have a large kitchen with multiple appliances and surfaces that get dirty, you 
might need to clean the disposal every couple of days. 
Finally, make sure that your existing plumbing can handle the extra weight of a 
new garbage disposal installation. If you're not sure whether or not your 
plumbing can handle the added load, consult with a plumber before making 
any decisions about installing a new garbage disposal.
