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

Yes, but Apollo Plumbing advises against DIY garbage disposal work because it’s dangerous. “Garbage disposal repair is not the most simple job. In fact, it’s downright dangerous. Save your fingers and trust garbage disposal to your personal plumber at Apollo Plumbing.” We handle diagnosis, repair, or full replacement with up-front pricing before work begins. Same-day help is available in Seattle and nearby cities. Exact costs are confirmed on site after inspection.

Quick checks before you DIY:

• Press the unit’s reset button and check the breaker.
• Never put hands inside the disposal.
