The Problem
The homeowner was experiencing intermittent issues with the garbage disposal.
What We Found
Chris found that the garbage disposal was nearing the end of its lifespan and could potentially fail soon.
The Fix
Chris conducted a thorough inspection of the plumbing system, focusing on the garbage disposal and the 50-gallon electric water heater. He advised the homeowner on the condition of both appliances, explaining the potential need for replacement in the near future.
The Result
The homeowner decided to monitor the situation and consider replacement options if the issues persisted.
Pro Tip
If your garbage disposal starts making unusual noises or jams frequently, it might be nearing the end of its life. Consider replacing it before it fails completely to avoid kitchen disruptions.

Why Quality Garbage Disposal Matters in Cary
Airflow Challenges
Cary's suburban growth and tree canopy create unique airflow challenges, requiring properly sized HVAC systems to efficiently cool multi-story homes.
Humid Subtropical Climate
The area's humid subtropical climate with 90°F+ summer temperatures demands high-efficiency AC systems to manage energy costs and maintain comfort.
Aging Systems
Many Cary neighborhoods built in the 1990s-2000s have aging HVAC systems nearing replacement age, making preventive maintenance critical.
HOA Requirements

Frequently Asked Questions About Garbage Disposal in Cary
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Cary
How long do garbage disposals typically last?
Most quality disposals last 8 to 12 years with proper use. However, Triangle-area hard water can shorten that lifespan if the unit has galvanized rather than stainless steel components. If your disposal is making unusual noises, leaking, or frequently jamming, it's likely time for a replacement.
What size garbage disposal do I need?
For a household of 1 to 2 people with light cooking, a 1/3 to 1/2 HP unit is sufficient. Families of 3 to 4 should consider 3/4 HP, and households that cook frequently or have 5+ members benefit from a full 1 HP model with sound insulation.
Can I use a garbage disposal with a septic system?
Yes, but we recommend a septic-rated model like the InSinkErator Evolution Septic Assist, which injects enzymes to help break down food waste. We also advise more frequent septic tank pumping if you use a disposal regularly.
Is it difficult to switch from a different brand of disposal?
Not at all. While mounting systems vary between brands, our plumbers carry universal adapters and can switch between any brand without modifying your sink. The installation typically takes about an hour regardless of the brand swap.
