Improved Plumbing Health

A properly installed disposal can actually help prevent clogs by ensuring food particles are thoroughly ground before entering your plumbing system.

Plumbing Express was great. I had a failed sump pump that had partially overflowed into the basement. Nasty. Josh was the tech that did the work. He was efficient, neat and courteous. I will use Plumbing Express if I have any other plumbing needs and I will recommend them to my family and friends.

Ron was our second plumber from this company. The first plumber came, examined pipes and said he found no leak, even though we had experiences a large amount of water leaking from the ceiling in the finished basement. Several days later we had another leak-same area but less water the second time. Ron came in, listened to our frustration and did a more thorough inspection of the pipes and identified the problem. He was very personable and professional. On his third visit, we had several replacement pipes installed and are without leaks again. Our frustration, with the situation, was my son had used your company to replace pipes when he purchased the home and founding out not all the pipes were included with that process.

Called Plumbing Express as tankless hot water not operating. Their website states "Get Free Plumbing Quote ". When service man showed up an looked at unit he said there would be a $207 charge to look into unit in order to give me a quote to fix unit. Due to not having hot water and time required to get another company to address the problem I agreed to pay $207 for quote. After looking in unit I was told he would not be able to fix due to age of unit and parts not available. I think he should have said parts not available when seeing model number on front of unit and I would not have wasted $207.

Plumbing Express is my go-to plumbing support team. They have fair pricing, well-vetted technicians, and a truly exceptional scheduling system. Rod, my technician, was the best. He quickly assessed the problem and gave a fair estimate, working hard to keep to the schedule. He even brought Josh along on the day of service, and the two of them worked well together. They addressed the bathtub drain repair with expertise and caused the least sheetrock damage. It was difficult to replace the broken pipe and get to the upstairs drain, but together they made it a success.

Dylan from Plumbing Express came over and replaced our garbage disposal for us. It was older, had a massive leak, and needed to be replaced. He did a great job and was in and out in about 30 minutes! I also asked him to check out a potential leak I had been hearing in my ceiling. He used a thermal camera to investigate and was very honest and upfront about what he found. Rather than immediately cutting into the drywall to confirm something uncertain, he explained that the sound could simply be pipes expanding and that opening the wall might be unnecessary. He recommended monitoring the area and waiting to see if a wet spot appears, which would clearly indicate an actual leak. I really appreciated that he didn’t try to upsell or push unnecessary work. Overall, great service and a great guy. They will definitely be our go-to plumbing service from now on.

Once again we had some problems under our kitchen sink so we called Plumbing Express who were able to get us on their schedule pretty quickly after these storms Tim Robinson came out to do the job. Tim has been to our house for a number of different plumbing problems. He is personable & professional. As usual he did a great job even though this particular problem turned out to be far more difficult than anyone had expected. As frustrating as it was, Tim worked through it until he finished the job. We can't thank him enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a garbage disposal be installed in any kitchen sink?

Most Atlanta kitchen sinks work fine if they have a standard 3.5-inch drain opening. Thin or lightweight sinks may need extra support for heavier, high-horsepower units. If your sink has never had a disposal, a licensed plumber can check whether your existing drain and electrical setup can handle one before any work begins.

How long does a professional installation take?

Most installations take 1 to 2 hours. A straightforward replacement runs closer to an hour. A brand-new installation, where new plumbing or electrical connections are required, takes closer to 2 hours. Our technicians work efficiently and clean up before they leave.

How does Metro Atlanta's water quality affect my garbage disposal?

Water quality varies across Metro Atlanta’s service area, including ZIP codes like 30340, 30060, 30092, and 30096. Municipalities with harder water can see mineral buildup inside the disposal over time, which shortens the unit’s lifespan. Most quality disposals last 8 to 12 years with regular cleaning. Running cold water before and after each use is one of the simplest ways to extend that lifespan.

Why is my garbage disposal not working?

The most common causes are a jammed or overheated motor, a blocked drain line, or an electrical fault. Many units have a reset button on the bottom of the unit. Press it and try again. If the motor hums but does not grind, the grinding plate is likely jammed. Do not put your hand inside the unit under any circumstances. Call a licensed plumber if the problem does not resolve with a reset.

How much does garbage disposal installation cost in Atlanta, GA?

Costs depend on the scope of the job.

  • Replacement: Typically $200 to $500, covering the unit and labor.
  • New installation: If your sink has never had a disposal, budget $250 to $650 to account for new plumbing and electrical connections.
