Has your old kitchen garbage disposal stopped working? We can install a new one for you quickly and easily.
Old Engineer provides professional garbage disposal replacement throughout the Raleigh-Durham area at a price that makes sense. Whether your old unit is humming, leaking, jammed for good, or just plain dead, we’ll swap in a new one, check every connection for leaks, and leave your kitchen exactly as clean as we found it.
Our disposal replacement service covers the whole job:
We install all the trusted brands including InSinkErator (Badger and Evolution series), Moen, and Waste King. If you haven’t bought one yet, we’ll suggest the right horsepower and noise level for your household.
Old Engineer isn’t a big franchise with big franchise prices. We’re experienced, detail-oriented professionals who believe replacing a disposal shouldn’t cost a fortune. You get careful workmanship, straightforward pricing, and a dry cabinet under your sink when we leave.
Please note: we replace disposals where one is already installed. If your project involves adding a disposal to a sink that’s never had one, new electrical, or drain reconfiguration, that may need a licensed plumber or electrician, and we’ll tell you upfront.
We provide garbage disposal installation in Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Chapel Hill, Wake Forest, Garner, Holly Springs, and surrounding Triangle communities.
A like-for-like swap is a quick job and far more affordable than a plumber’s service call. Contact us with the model you have or the one you’re considering for a quick quote.
Most replacements take 1 – 1.5 hours, including leak testing.
If it’s jammed, a reset or hex key turn sometimes revives it. But if it’s leaking from the body, tripping constantly, or more than 8 to 10 years old, replacement is almost always the better value. Tell us the symptoms and we’ll give you an honest answer.
That usually means the motor has power but the impeller is jammed. Sometimes it’s freeable, sometimes the motor is done. Either way, stop running it (that hum is the motor cooking itself) and give us a call.
For most households, 1/2 HP to 3/4 HP is the sweet spot. Bigger families or heavy cooks benefit from 3/4 HP to 1 HP, which also tend to run quieter. We’ll match the unit to how you actually use your kitchen.
Yes. We reconnect your dishwasher drain hose and make sure the knockout plug is removed so the dishwasher drains properly, one of the most common mistakes in DIY installs.
Yes, haul-away of the old unit is included.
