About garbage disposal installs

A well-functioning garbage disposal is a must-have for any modern kitchen, adding convenience and efficiency to daily clean-up routines. At ALL-WAYS PLUMBING in Bend, Oregon, we specialize in professional garbage disposal installation, ensuring your new unit is set up for safe, reliable, and long-lasting use. Whether you’re adding a disposal to a kitchen for the first time or upgrading an older model, our team of expert plumbers provides the knowledge and skill to get the job done right. Proper installation by skilled professionals is essential for optimal performance, as it minimizes risks like leaks, clogs, or malfunctions. ALL-WAYS PLUMBING is dedicated to helping Bend homeowners enjoy the benefits of a high-quality garbage disposal that meets the demands of their busy kitchens, providing a cleaner, more efficient kitchen environment.

Installing a garbage disposal offers multiple benefits, from reducing food waste to keeping kitchens cleaner and more environmentally friendly. A garbage disposal makes it easy to dispose of food scraps quickly and efficiently, minimizing the amount of organic waste that ends up in the trash and, ultimately, in landfills. For homeowners in Bend, Oregon, this means a more sustainable kitchen while also enjoying the convenience of an easy clean-up process after meals. Garbage disposals also help prevent lingering food odors that can attract pests, maintaining a fresher, cleaner kitchen. At ALL-WAYS PLUMBING, we install disposals designed to provide these advantages, offering homeowners a reliable way to manage waste while keeping their kitchen functioning at its best.


Knowing when to install a new garbage disposal or replace an existing one can save homeowners time, frustration, and expense. Signs that it may be time for a new garbage disposal include frequent clogs, persistent leaks, reduced grinding performance, or unusual noises that signal mechanical wear. Additionally, if your garbage disposal is over ten years old, an upgrade can provide more efficient performance, quieter operation, and enhanced durability. ALL-WAYS PLUMBING in Bend, Oregon, can assess the condition of your current unit and recommend whether a new installation or replacement would be beneficial. For those without a disposal, adding one can greatly enhance kitchen functionality, providing a convenient solution for managing food waste and maintaining a cleaner kitchen environment.

ALL-WAYS PLUMBING offers a variety of garbage disposal options to suit the unique needs of each household in Bend, Oregon. We provide both continuous feed and batch feed disposals, each with distinct advantages. Continuous feed disposals, the most common type, allow for quick and easy disposal of food waste, operating continuously when switched on. This type is ideal for busy kitchens where frequent disposal is needed. For those prioritizing safety and controlled use, batch feed disposals operate in specific loads, only running when sealed with a special cover, making them a great choice for families concerned with safety. The knowledgeable team at ALL-WAYS PLUMBING, located in Bend, OR, is here to help you choose the model that best fits your needs, preferences, and budget, ensuring that your garbage disposal is efficient, safe, and tailored to your kitchen.

Choosing ALL-WAYS PLUMBING in Bend, Oregon, for your garbage disposal installation means partnering with a team of experienced professionals committed to quality, safety, and customer satisfaction. With over 15 years of service in the local community, our technicians bring extensive knowledge and hands-on expertise to every installation, ensuring your new garbage disposal is set up securely and operates efficiently. We understand the importance of choosing the right disposal for your kitchen, which is why we offer personalized guidance to help you select a model that best suits your household’s needs, whether it’s a continuous or batch feed unit. At ALL-WAYS PLUMBING, we pride ourselves on transparent pricing, timely service, and clear communication, so you always know what to expect from start to finish. Our focus on high-quality workmanship for our clients in the Bend community and long-lasting results, meaning you can enjoy the benefits of your new garbage disposal with confidence, knowing it was installed by a trusted team. With ALL-WAYS PLUMBING, you’re not just getting a quick installation—you’re choosing reliable, professional service that puts your needs first.

Jake and Elisa were wonderful to work with in their installation of a new hot water heater (to replace our 20-yr old one) for us. Their standards of communication prior to the installation: about our needs concerning the new unit, scheduling, updates, delivery of the heater and arrangement for proper conditions for the installation were excellent. They were on time, worked efficiently and gave us a very thorough introduction to the improved features of the new hot water heater concerning typical use like relighting the pilot light, the vacation setting, error codes provided a function light and what to check for about anything that usually might need to be adjusted by them after installation, and were fun to talk to.

I am exceedingly pleased with All Ways Plumbing's response to my service request. It was a leaking toilet. I called Jake and from the outset he was helpful and straight forward. I appreciate that he described the likely fix and quoted a price up front. Jake was on time, professional, knowledgeable, and kind. He also described each of the steps as he made the repair. This helped because being new to homeownership every little thing I learn helps me take better care of my home! The price was fair. Yes, skilled services are expensive. And yet, having a licensed, experienced tradesman do a job right is actually a good value. I whole heartedly recommend All Ways Plumbing and will call again.

I had a pipe burst as I did not winterize properly before the cold weather hit. Lucky for me Jake from All-Ways Plumbing showed up quickly to handle the situation. He took care of the problem quickly and efficently (also went into my crawl space to check for water) and was also very kind and professional. Afterward he showed me how to turn off the main water valve as I had forgotten where it was. He also made some recommendations on what to do next with winterizing. I will definitely use All-Ways in the the future for all of my plumbing needs. They were competitively priced and the service made all of the difference in what could have been a terrible situation. Thank you Jake!

I am absolutely thrilled with the work Jake at All-Ways did for my kitchen faucet and garbage disposal replacement. I had a leaking/broken disposal that needed to be completely replaced, and the faucet hoses were leaking quite a bit as well. Jake was able to replace the disposal same day. The faucet was in worse shape than I had realized, so Jake came out a few days later and replaced it for me after I picked the new faucet. Everything is working perfectly and looks fantastic! I also looked up what prices to expect for these kinds of repairs, and their prices are absolutely fair and on point with the current market. I am so happy and highly recommend All-Ways!

When my hot water heater went out I started searching for plumbers. I got a few bids and then ran across Jake and Elisa with Always Plumbing. I went with them because their prices are reasonable, they are straightforward and very knowledgeable. Because I hadn't had hot water for a while, they did some creative scheduling to get me in as soon as possible. In less than a day I had a new hot water heater installed. Everything was completed efficiently, neatly and very professionally done. It was a snowy/wet day and they took pains to make sure to leave everything nice, dry and clean. I believe you can trust them to determine what you need and get the job done right.

Several years ago, we had a plumbing issue and Jake came out to fix it. Several days ago, we had a different plumbing issue. Jake arrives on or ahead of time, is efficient, and guarantees his work. Very pleasant to work with and as well as competent. The job was more complicated than I'd expected and included work behind the kitchen sink. There were two items repaired. Granted, it's easy to lump contractors into the same group, but I can't tell you how many times we've been told by a contractor that they were going to come at a specific time and they didn't - or when they did come, they didn't end up fixing the issue. All-Ways Plumbing is a refreshing change. Now if only he knew how to build outbuildings ... (:

frequently asked questions

garbage disposal install q&A

Wondering if its time to add a new garbage disposal to your kitchen or replace an old one? Bend’s go-to experts at ALL-WAYS PLUMBING are here to provide the guidance and answers you need.

A typical garbage disposal installation by ALL-WAYS PLUMBING in Bend, Oregon, usually takes between one to two hours, depending on the specific requirements of your setup. Our expert plumbers handle every step with precision, from securely mounting the disposal unit to properly connecting it to the plumbing and electrical systems. This includes testing the unit to ensure it’s working smoothly and efficiently, so you can trust that the installation is done right the first time. By choosing ALL-WAYS PLUMBING, Bend homeowners get the benefit of a quick yet thorough installation process, allowing them to enjoy the convenience of a new garbage disposal with minimal downtime or disruption to their daily routine.

Yes, garbage disposals can be suitable for homes with septic systems, and ALL-WAYS PLUMBING in Bend, Oregon, can help you choose a model specifically designed to work well with septic setups. When paired with a septic system, it’s crucial to use a garbage disposal responsibly by only grinding biodegradable food waste and avoiding excessive use to prevent overloading the tank. Specialized models for septic systems add enzymes that help break down food particles, which can benefit your septic tank’s health. ALL-WAYS PLUMBING’s experienced team can recommend and install a septic-friendly garbage disposal unit, providing Bend residents with a safe and efficient solution for managing kitchen waste without compromising their septic system’s longevity.

In many cases, a garbage disposal can be repaired if it’s clogged or jammed, as these are common issues that can often be resolved with a professional service call. However, if your garbage disposal is experiencing more serious problems, such as leaks, worn-out components, or motor failure, replacing it is usually the more cost-effective and reliable solution. Modern garbage disposals are designed to be efficient and durable, and installing a new unit can save you from ongoing repairs and improve the performance of your kitchen sink. At ALL-WAYS PLUMBING in Bend, Oregon, our experienced team can assess your disposal’s condition and provide honest recommendations to help you decide whether a repair or replacement is the best choice for your home.

The average lifespan of a garbage disposal installed by ALL-WAYS PLUMBING in Bend, Oregon, is typically around 10 to 15 years, depending on usage and maintenance. High-quality disposals from reputable brands can reach the upper end of this range, especially if they are used properly and cleaned regularly to prevent buildup and corrosion. At ALL-WAYS PLUMBING, we install durable garbage disposals and provide advice on care techniques, such as using cold water during operation and avoiding hard-to-grind items, to help extend the life of your unit. With proper maintenance and responsible use, Bend homeowners can enjoy reliable, long-lasting performance from their garbage disposals, supported by the expertise of ALL-WAYS PLUMBING.

ALL-WAYS PLUMBING in Bend, Oregon, installs garbage disposals that come with manufacturer warranties, typically ranging from 1 to 10 years depending on the brand and model. These warranties generally cover defects in materials and workmanship, giving homeowners peace of mind that their unit is protected against early malfunctions. Additionally, ALL-WAYS PLUMBING provides a workmanship warranty on our installation, ensuring that the disposal is installed correctly and operates smoothly. With quality brands and reliable installation, Bend customers can trust that their garbage disposal will be backed by strong warranty coverage. Our team is happy to explain specific warranty details to help you choose the best option for your kitchen’s needs, giving you confidence in your investment.

To keep your garbage disposal functioning effectively, ALL-WAYS PLUMBING in Bend, Oregon, recommends avoiding certain items that can clog or damage the unit. Hard items like bones, fruit pits, and shellfish shells should be disposed of in the trash rather than the disposal, as these can dull or damage the blades. Fibrous foods such as celery, corn husks, and onion skins can wrap around the disposal’s components, causing jams.

Yes, garbage disposals are generally energy-efficient, and ALL-WAYS PLUMBING in Bend, Oregon, installs models that consume minimal electricity while providing convenience in managing kitchen waste. Most modern garbage disposals use less than 1% of a household’s total energy consumption, making them a low-impact appliance when it comes to electricity use. Disposals also support environmentally friendly practices by reducing food waste that ends up in landfills, especially when paired with septic-friendly models or composting for non-disposal items. For Bend homeowners, ALL-WAYS PLUMBING offers guidance on selecting an energy-efficient garbage disposal that fits seamlessly into an eco-conscious lifestyle, maximizing both convenience and sustainability in your kitchen.

Maintaining a garbage disposal is relatively straightforward, and ALL-WAYS PLUMBING in Bend, Oregon, provides tips to keep your unit in peak condition. Regularly running cold water through the disposal while it operates helps flush out food particles and prevents buildup. Cleaning the disposal monthly with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar or using ice cubes can keep the blades sharp and reduce odors. It’s also helpful to avoid overloading the disposal and to run it for a few extra seconds after food has cleared to ensure the unit is thoroughly flushed. With simple, regular maintenance, Bend homeowners can enjoy trouble-free operation and extend the lifespan of their garbage disposals, backed by the expertise and support of ALL-WAYS PLUMBING.

Using a garbage disposal safely is essential to prevent injury and damage, and ALL-WAYS PLUMBING in Bend, Oregon, advises a few key precautions. First and foremost, never put your hand or fingers inside the disposal while it’s operating. If you need to retrieve an item, turn off the power at the breaker box for extra security before reaching inside with a tool, not your hands. Avoid grinding hard or non-food items like utensils or glass, as these can damage the blades and create safety hazards. It’s also wise to keep water running while the disposal is in use to help food waste flow smoothly. Following these safety tips ensures a safe, effective disposal experience, and ALL-WAYS PLUMBING is always available to assist Bend residents with maintenance and any questions about proper disposal use.
