Types of Garbage Disposals
When selecting a garbage disposal for your kitchen, it’s crucial to understand the differences between continuous feed and batch feed models to make the best choice for your needs. Here’s a detailed comparison to help you decide:
Continuous Feed Garbage Disposals
Functionality: Continuous feed disposals are the most common type and allow you to add food waste while the unit is running. They are operated with a wall switch, making them highly convenient for managing large amounts of waste and maintaining a steady flow of scraps.
Power Options: These models come in various power levels, ranging from 1/3 horsepower to 1 horsepower. More powerful units are capable of handling tougher food waste and are ideal for heavy use in busy kitchens.
Pros:
- Convenience: Allows for continuous feeding of waste, which is efficient for busy kitchens.
- Effective: Handles a continuous stream of food scraps effectively, reducing the need for frequent stoppages.
Versatile: Suitable for households with regular waste generation.
Batch Feed Garbage Disposals
Functionality: Batch feed disposals require you to place the lid on the unit before it starts. This design enhances safety by ensuring that the unit operates only when properly covered, which prevents accidental injuries.
Safety: Ideal for households with children or for those who prioritize safety. The lid mechanism ensures that the disposal only runs when the lid is securely in place, reducing the risk of accidents.
Power Options: Available in various power levels to match your needs. Selecting the right power level depends on the volume and type of food waste you typically handle.
Pros:
- Enhanced Safety: Prevents accidental operation, making it a safer option for families with young children.
Controlled Operation: Ensures the unit only operates when the lid is securely in place, reducing risk.

Our Installation Process
Transform your kitchen with a professionally installed garbage disposal. At AfterHours Plumbing & Drainage Services, we ensure a flawless installation that maximizes performance and safety. Here’s our step-by-step process:
Ensure Safety First
We prioritize your safety throughout the installation process. Our team begins by turning off the power to the kitchen sink area to prevent any electrical hazards.
Remove the Old Sink Drain
Our experts carefully remove the old sink drain by loosening the mounting assembly with a screwdriver, preparing the area for the new unit. This step ensures that the new garbage disposal fits perfectly and functions optimally.
Clean and Prepare
We thoroughly clean the area to ensure a proper seal for the new garbage disposal, preventing any leaks and ensuring a long-lasting installation. Clean surfaces are crucial for the effective functioning of the seal.
Attach the Power Cord
Following the instructions in the cord kit, we connect the power cord to the garbage disposal. This step is crucial for ensuring the unit operates correctly and efficiently.
Install the New Mounting Ring and Gasket
We place the new mounting ring and gasket onto the sink drain, making sure they are securely fitted. We use plumber’s putty around the edge of the flange to create a watertight seal, preventing leaks and ensuring durability.
Mount the Garbage Disposal
Our team inserts the garbage disposal into the mounting ring and turns it to lock it in place, ensuring a secure and stable fit. This step is vital for the long-term stability and operation of the unit.
Connect and Align the Discharge Tube
We connect the discharge tube to the unit and align it with the drain trap, tightening the screws to ensure a snug fit. We check the alignment and make adjustments if necessary to ensure optimal performance and prevent any drainage issues.
Final Testing
We turn the power back on and test the unit to make sure it operates smoothly and efficiently. This final step gives you peace of mind that everything is working perfectly and that your new garbage disposal is ready for use.

Safety and Quality Guarantee
At AfterHours Plumbing & Drainage Services, safety is our top priority during every step of your garbage disposal installation. Here’s how we ensure a secure and efficient installation:
Turn Off Power
Safety First: We begin by turning off the power to the kitchen’s electrical outlet by flipping the circuit breaker switch. This essential step helps prevent electric shocks and ensures a safe environment for installation.
Read the Instruction Manual
Follow Directions: Our team thoroughly reviews the instruction manual that comes with your garbage disposal. This manual provides crucial safety tips and specific steps for your model. Adhering to these instructions ensures the installation is done correctly and minimizes potential hazards.
Prepare the Installation Area
Keep It Dry: We ensure the area under the sink is dry and free of any water spills. A dry workspace prevents slipping and reduces the risk of electrical accidents, creating a safer working environment.
Use Insulated Tools
Reduce Risk: We use tools with insulated handles to minimize the risk of electric shock. This precaution ensures a safer working environment by reducing the potential for electrical hazards.
Wear Protective Gear
Protect Yourself: Our team always wears gloves and safety glasses to protect hands from sharp edges and eyes from debris during the installation. Proper protective gear is crucial for safeguarding against injury.
Check Mounting Parts
Ensure Stability: Before connecting the garbage disposal to the plumbing, we verify that all mounting parts are tight and properly aligned. Ensuring that parts are securely fastened helps prevent leaks and other potential issues.
