Disposals in Condo Buildings
In a building where several kitchens share one drain, what goes down your disposal can show up in a neighbor's sink. Run cold water, feed food slowly and keep grease, rice, pasta and coffee grounds out. If the building has frequent kitchen line clogs, the board may want the line jetted on a schedule. We can help with both.
What Affects the Price of a Disposal Job
A straight swap is quick. A first-time install in a condo may need an outlet and drain changes. If the shared kitchen line is slow, clearing it first helps. We check and quote one flat price.

"Our kitchen sink was not draining and technician Josh was sent out to tackle the issue. Josh did a great job getting the drain flowing freely. It was a challenging job but Josh did not quit until the drain was open. We would recommend Josh to any future customers and we would request that he be sent to our house for any additional work down the road. [...]"

"Anthony was right on time, very respectful of my place and cleaning up after working under the kitchen sink. Completely spotless afterwards. Showed me the instruction manual and pointed out when to replace filters to my reverse osmosis water system. And the salesman the week before was a fair negotiator. Overall great experience. Todd F"
