Water Filtration SystemsTD Plumbing Solutions installs new and replacement garbage disposals in kitchens across Benbrook and Greater Fort Worth. Terrill Dobbs, a licensed master plumber, mounts, connects and tests each unit.
Buy the disposal yourself or ask Terrill what size suits your kitchen. He mounts it, connects the drain and dishwasher hose, and checks the trap, the curved pipe below the sink. Then he runs water and checks for leaks. You hear the price first.
Your old disposal died, or your sink never had one. A disposal only works well if it is mounted tight and drains the right way. The pipes under the sink matter as much as the unit.
If a reset and clearing a jam do not help, the motor may be done.
A leak from the unit itself usually means a cracked housing. It cannot be patched.
Adding one needs power under the sink and the right drain layout. We check both.
A new sink is the right time for a new disposal and a fresh trap.
Worn parts make grinding slow and noisy.
Terrill can install a unit you picked up at the store.

Typical ranges, not promises. Terrill tells you the real timeline once he has seen the job.
Terrill looks at the power, drain and dishwasher hose, then tells you what is needed and the price.
With power off, we take out the old disposal and ring and clean the sink opening.
The new unit is mounted tight. We hook up the drain, trap and dishwasher hose so water flows downhill.
We run water and the disposal and check each joint for drips.
Talk to Terrill about your job in Benbrook. You get the fix and the price before any work starts. Emergencies are answered 24/7.
Most disposal installs are simple swaps. The price goes up when there is no disposal now, or the pipes under the sink are old. Terrill gives you the full price before he starts.
Swapping a unit is simpler than adding one where none was before.
Larger motors cost more and take more room under the sink.
Old or leaking traps and drain pieces add parts and time.
Connecting or rerouting the dishwasher hose adds a little work.
Every price is given before work starts. Larger jobs can be financed through Hearth.
Terrill Dobbs does the install himself, often with his son.
Texas Responsible Master Plumber, RMP 45333, serving homeowners since 2005.
Clear upfront pricing, zero sales pressure. The price comes before the work.
We back our workmanship and pursue the maker's warranty on the disposal we install.
Mandy Rogers had Terrill out on a Saturday to install her disposal and replace the P-trap, and Al Houston wrote that Terrill was informative about picking up his disposal at Lowe's.
Many homes around Benbrook are decades old, with metal traps and drain pieces that have thinned out. A new disposal puts more work on those parts, so we check them and replace any close to failing.
Hard water plays a part too. Scale builds up in the disposal and trap, and grease sticks to it. We show you how to run cold water with the disposal and what to keep out, so your new unit lasts.
TD Plumbing Solutions installs garbage disposals in Benbrook and across Greater Fort Worth. Owner Terrill Dobbs, a licensed master plumber, checks the power and drain, mounts the unit and connects the dishwasher hose. He gives you the price first and tests every joint.
Yes. Many homeowners pick up a disposal at a home store and have us install it. Check that the unit fits the space under your sink. If you are not sure what size to get, ask Terrill before you buy.
For most homes, a mid-size unit handles daily kitchen scraps well. Bigger families or heavy cooks may want more power. Larger units are taller, so space matters. Terrill looks at your sink and tells you what fits, without pushing the priciest model.
Swapping an old disposal for a new one usually takes one to two hours. Adding one where there was none takes longer, since the drain may need changes and power has to be under the sink. Terrill tells you what your kitchen needs first.
Most disposals need power under the sink, often an outlet with a wall switch. If your kitchen does not have one, the power side is a job for an electrician. We tell you during the first look, so the plumbing and power can be planned together.
Yes. Most disposals have an inlet for the dishwasher drain hose. On a new unit, a small plug inside that inlet has to be knocked out first, or the dishwasher will not drain. We connect the hose and run the dishwasher to check.
If the old trap is metal, leaking or crusted inside, yes. The P-trap is the curved pipe under the sink that holds water to block sewer gas. A new disposal sends more waste through it, and replacing it now costs little extra.
Keep out grease, bones, fruit pits, coffee grounds, eggshells and stringy things like celery. They jam the unit or build up in the drain. Run cold water before, during and after you grind. It keeps grease solid so it moves through the pipe.
