Garbage Disposal Installation and Repair in Northwest Austin (78717)

Why Northwest Austin Homeowners Call Us First

Tucked into far northwest Austin around Anderson Mill and Lake Creek, 78717 is a quiet pocket of 1980s and 1990s subdivisions where the original disposals are all aging out at once.

These are classic family homes with busy kitchens, and the builder-grade Badger 5 that went in during the Clinton administration is now leaking from the bottom or humming instead of grinding.

Replacement is the main event here: same mount, better unit, usually under two hours. We also handle first-time installs for homeowners finishing out a wet bar or adding a prep sink.

Because the neighborhood is compact, we often stack two or three 78717 jobs in one day, which keeps scheduling flexible and arrival windows tight.

This ZIP is in the middle of a replacement wave: original 1990s builder units failing within a few years of each other across whole streets. If your neighbors are replacing theirs, yours is on the same clock.

We keep the most popular 3/4 HP models on the truck for 78717 so most replacements finish in a single visit with no parts run.

Northwest Austin Homes and Their Disposals

Two-story and ranch-style family homes from the 1980s and 1990s, most with the original kitchen layout intact. Cabinets are standard depth, so full-size 3/4 HP units fit without modification.

The original disposals were almost all 1/3 or 1/2 HP builder models, and after 25-plus years the seals and bearings are finished.

Electrical is modern enough that most swaps reuse the existing outlet, though we still test every GFCI before calling the job done.
