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

You can install a basic garbage disposal yourself, but hire a licensed plumber if wiring changes, drain rework, or leaks are involved. G&C Plumbing & Heating handles installation, replacement, and leak fixes in Bellingham and Franklin with upfront pricing by licensed techs. Every install or repair includes a 2-year warranty, or 4 years for Club Members. If you attempt DIY, turn off power, use pliers for obstructions, and check the sink flange and drain elbow for leaks after startup.
