Why a Garbage Disposal is a Kitchen Game-Changer
September 5, 2025
When it comes to making your kitchen run smoothly, few tools are as underrated as the garbage disposal. It’s not just about convenience — it’s about efficiency, cleanliness, and protecting your plumbing. At Elevate Home Services, we install, repair, and maintain garbage disposals to help Southwest Florida families keep their kitchens operating at their best.
The Benefits of a Garbage Disposal
1. Keeps Your Kitchen Cleaner
Scraping food scraps directly into the disposal means fewer trips to the trash can. That means less mess, fewer odors, and a more hygienic kitchen.
2. Reduces Clogs and Plumbing Problems
Food waste that lingers in your pipes is one of the top causes of kitchen sink clogs. A properly working disposal grinds scraps down into tiny particles, making them much less likely to block your plumbing system.
3. Saves Time After Meals
Cleanup becomes easier and faster when you can quickly clear plates into the sink and let the disposal handle the rest. For busy families, this is a major win.
4. Eco-Friendly Option
Food waste sent through a garbage disposal often ends up at wastewater treatment facilities, where it can be converted into renewable energy or compost. This is a more sustainable alternative compared to throwing food scraps in the trash.
When to Call in the Pros
Like any hardworking appliance, your disposal may need professional attention if:
- It makes strange noises or jams frequently
- Drains are slow, even after running the disposal
- There’s a persistent foul odor that won’t go away
- The unit is leaking from the bottom
Our licensed plumbers can quickly diagnose the issue and get your kitchen back in working order.

As being a retired electrical contractor since 1980 and real estate investor, I was impressed, they gave me next day service, called me when in route, called me when completed, and billing was more than fair, unlike those companies that do flat rates.

From the office personnel to the installation. The office staff were courteous and professional, Josh, the salesman, was here the next day and gave me a quote right away that was very fair and, I think, quite competitive. Joe and Reuben, the installers, came two days later to do the installation. They were very knowledgeable, courteous and professional and did a fantastic job. They represented your company extremely well. I love the Bryant package unit, recommended by Josh, it's attractive, efficient and quiet. Thanks to all.

We have been a client for just over 10 years and I’m very happy with their service, workmanship and pricing. In this day and age, it’s hard to find a company that you can’t find fault with, but this is one of them.

We’ve dealt the the Griffith company for 20 years and Larry made us feel comfortable with the merging of companies that is happening. We are looking forward to having our new AC installed and the continuing excellence of service we’ve experienced from this company over the years.
