How to remove a garburator garbage disposal and finish the plumbing

- Garburators or garbage disposals are a thing of the past. They smell, they leak all the time, they are noisy, they are a bacteria trap, they break all the time and they clog-up pipes. In this video, I'll show how easy it is to remove them and refinish the plumbing properly. It is extremely easy and definitely something you can do yourself.
Thank you SO much--my garburator has seized, and getting rid of it entirely certainly is the simplest and most cost effective option.
"Grab it and throw it as far as you can"😂 great video thanks
Thank you
It's very simple and I like it
those gaskets you put the putty over go under the sink
Wild he doesn't know that lol
He doesn't know that. Cause he's CANADIAN..LOL
I guess now we know that whether you put it on top or under, it makes no difference. But you are right, it goes under.
No point to put putty over gaskets. I assume the gaskets are to prevent leaks in the future.
The bracket looked very crooked, and will shift over time.
I wonder how long it will stay water tight.
Especially with vibrations from countertop appliances and dishwasher.
@@Finder76 i expect this will leak in a couple years. water will leak under the top gasket or out the crooked fittings.
Yes . I love that. This is what I need to know. Much appreciated
You vidio was absolutely amazing . I did it by my self
Thank u so much 💕🙏🏼

This was so helpful!
Thank you 💪🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much
Garbage disposals are wonderful things. You won't have any of the problems you mentioned if you use it correctly. And yes, it is "proper" disposal.
If it's "proper" disposal why are they now banned in new builds in the city of Vancouver? BTW...we have organic waste disposal.
Disposals used to be fairly cheap. Now, the cheapest one, with a contractor discount, is around $100. They used to have a 5-year warranty, now is 1-year. My disposal broke 3 weeks after the warranty expired, so just replacing with a strainer. It was incredibly rusty for only 1-year old. Also, apparently, they are intended/designed to only dispose of small amounts of food waste.
When you installed the new drain, you put the plumber putty on top of the rubber gasket and paper gasket. That rubber and paper gasket actually gets installed under the sink and only the putty should be on top between the new drain and the sink.
Yes, I've been told. It's been a few years and it still not leaking. Didn't want to re-do the video for that.
Great video, TY!
Very helpful I’m getting rid of garbage disposal
I totally agree
thank you for your demonstration...
How do you remove the bottom kitchen part?
Thank you so much.
Thank youuuu❤
Thank you
Good video
Just a question. My sink is plumbed like it was in the kitchen you worked in. There is a plastic value that screws onto the pipe at the top of the sink, on one end of the pea trap and the other is connected to the garburator. My sink plugged up so I tried to remove the p trap. I couldn't just remove the pea trap connection because there was no screw valve on the other end of the pea trap. When I removed the screw valve at the top of the sink and the garburator the pipes are too tight to remove. I don't want to be too rough or it may crack the plastic pipes. I need to remove the pea trap because I can feel 2 pieces of plastic cutlery in it. How do I remove the pipes by the p trap without having to call a plumber to cut the pipe? When I looked at other videos there are screw valves on both ends of the p trap so is this plumbing acceptable because you can't remove the p trap? I'd appreciate your feedback.
very good
Helpful thank you
Thank you Debbie for your feedback and for watching our videos
My parents had an Insinkerator disposal since the 60's, replaced it in the early 80's with a new, higher-end quiet model as part of a kitchen remodel, and never had the problems you suggest are endemic to disposals. They had 10 kids and the disposal got a lot of use every day; I can recall one or two times that we had to deal with a stuck grinding wheel. I've had a Kitchen-Aid model for 9 years (manufactured by Insinkerator), and have had none of those issues either. I guess we actually read and follow the directions, and buy good machines.
The gaskets that you left on the fitting are supposed to go underneath the sink. Your plumbers putty fortunately worked for now but you will develop a leak in the future.
Yup, it's been mentioned a million time and yet still no leaks.
Excellent. Thank you so much. I’m 66 in a condo they want 1350 to remove the one I have. Absurd ! Especially now that I saw your great video. Thanks for taking the time to make that. However. My dishwater clogged at the same time. Will removing the GD , then allow the DW to finish draining ?
It seems like is the GD was clogging my sink, that removing it would take care of everything ?
If you know of another video to explain that please leave me the link. Thank yous SOOO MUCH
I am not sure but when you slide the piping up to connect the final elbow to horizontal section is there a chance that the vertical drain from the sink is now blocking the drain from the dishwasher inside the piping? The vertical piece from the sink was quite long.
Good observation. An inch or so too much I think.
How much to charge for it
And it is good
It would be hard to do a clean out since you glued all your connectors. Job security for plumbers i guess.
Hi, absolutely not. You undo the screw nut after the trap and undo the nut at the drain pipe done. Please let us know if you have any other comments and thank you for watching our videos.
🤙🤗
Thank you
This guy put that trapped the wrong way. That rubber and its like a paper board goes under, only the putty goes at the top..
Seems it doesn't matter. No leaks were detected, and I believe he posted it didn't matter but it goes under. Double protection from leaking.
Crap. Skipped right past the part I needed the most..
Which part?
@@named3656 sorry, I don’t even remember anymore, got the job done though atleast. 😅
So what happened after the unit was removed???
Conveniently left out the part where ya gotta cut out the old strainer!! Hahaha
Yo that’s dirty man! People gonna get stumped when they can’t get that metal piece off
Why is the screw holding the drain on an angle? Drain sealing also installed improperly. Did not deburr his saw cuts, forced joints together. Please, consult a plumber before making a video. Let’s teach best practices.
I would 100% never do that but thx for watching our videos. 90+% of all deficiencies found on homes are plumbing related.
Thank you
