Is This Service Right for Your Project?

This service is a good fit if you need a garbage disposal installed or replaced under an existing kitchen sink where the sink, drain, cabinet space, shut-off valves, and electrical connection are already appropriate for the installation.

This service may not be the right fit if your project requires new electrical outlets, new plumbing lines, leak investigation inside walls, or specialty plumbing or electrical work outside Handy Ivan’s allowed scope.

What We Install

Handy Ivan helps with common garbage disposal projects, including:

Garbage Disposal Installation & Replacement
A working garbage disposal can make kitchen cleanup easier and help keep the sink area more functional. Handy Ivan installs and replaces garbage disposals, repairs stuck garbage disposals when the existing unit is still in a good condition but stuck with solid item inside. Common projects also include updating a disposal during a rental turnover, or completing a small kitchen improvement project.
Existing Sink, Drain & Dishwasher Connections
Garbage disposal projects often depend on the condition of the existing under-sink setup. Before scheduling, Handy Ivan reviews photos to understand the sink cabinet, drain piping, dishwasher hose, electrical connection, available space, and any visible leaks or corrosion.
