Replace Disposal or Not

slipperypete · Apr 23, 2019

I just put in stone countertop and high dollar sink. I'm hiring a pro to plumb the new sink etc because I want a high quality job and my question is should I replace my 10 yr old disposal which works good or not and is my plumber going to think I'm crazy for replacing everything else and not the disposal? Thanks, Vic

ask him his opinion.....I know it works well but its much easier to change it during a new install then to have to possibly change piping after the fact

I would personally replace it. Sounds like you want the best things so I would go with a nice Insinkerator disposal.

At least buy a new flange kit so it looks shiny and new from above

If it runs fine, looks ok and doesn’t leak and you are fine with it I would keep it. Make sure it does t smell or anything also and I believe someone else said it but just get a new disposal Flange so it all looks new and go with it. Disposals are easy to change if u need to change it out anyway.

Thanks for the help everybody. I am a DIYr but I could not be happier with my professional installation. This was money well spent. Also he told me yes I needed to change the disposal. It's just not practical to leave an old appliance like that with everything else being changed.
