Can I install a garbage disposal myself without hiring a plumber?
Yes—many homeowners can install a garbage disposal themselves if they’re handy with basic plumbing. That said, professional installation helps prevent leaks and misaligned drains. Summers installs plumbing‑connected appliances and makes sure they’re installed correctly so you don’t have to worry about leaks. If your sink setup is tight, corroded, or the drain doesn’t line up, it’s faster to call. We also handle clogged or slow drains and offer same-day and 24/7 emergency service in Bloomington and Normal.
