About garbage disposal in Key Peninsula

The Key Peninsula is a rural, mostly waterfront and wooded part of Pierce County, with spread-out homes and many on private systems.

Kitchens in Key Peninsula homes from the middle of the last century often got a disposal added later, so the wiring and drain connections can be a little unusual. We check before we start.

Many disposals fail because of a jam, a worn motor or a leak at the housing. If a jam is all that is wrong, we can often free it. If it is time to replace, the $249 price applies.

Rural Key Peninsula homes can be far apart, so tell us the address and we confirm the travel charge before we come.

Questions

Can you just unjam it?

Often, yes. The $79 diagnosis visit is credited toward any job we do.

What if there is no disposal now?

Installing a new disposal where there was none needs electrical and plumbing work and is quoted first. Call or text us and describe your setup.

Do you supply the disposal?

The $249 price is for installing a unit you provide, so you choose the model and the price.
