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

Yes, you can install a garbage disposal yourself if you’re handy, but a pro helps prevent leaks, drain misalignment, and electrical issues. Peter Levi Plumbing provides installation, replacement, diagnosis, and testing with upfront, transparent pricing and cleanup. We serve homes in Novato and across the North Bay.

Quick checks before DIY:

  • Shut off power and water.
  • Verify an outlet and compatible mounting ring.
  • Use plumber’s putty on the sink flange.
  • Tighten leak points and test for clogs.
