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

Yes, you can replace a like-for-like garbage disposal yourself if you’re comfortable with basic plumbing and a 120 V plug connection. Many homeowners DIY simple swaps. If mounting hardware, drain alignment, or wiring is different, a licensed pro prevents leaks, vibration, and nuisance trips. Wisler offers Garbage Disposal Repair and Installation with licensed, background-checked, and well-trained plumbers. We serve Roanoke, Salem, and Rocky Mount.

Quick checks:

• Same model and mounting ring? DIY is easier.
• Hardwired unit or corrosion at flange? Call a pro.
