About Our Garbage Disposal Services in Lakeway
Lakeway's mix of older lakeside homes and newer construction means we see a wide range of disposal setups — from aging units that have been grinding away since the 1990s to brand-new installs that just need the right configuration. At Cold is on the Right Plumbing & Air, we service all major garbage disposal brands and handle everything from a simple jam or reset to a full replacement. The humidity that comes with living near Lake Travis can accelerate wear on components under the sink, and we know what to look for.

When you call us, you're not getting a rotating crew of strangers — you're getting licensed plumbers who know this area, understand the local plumbing quirks, and give you straight answers with upfront pricing before any work begins.

Garbage Disposal Services We Provide in Lakeway
Garbage Disposal Repair
From strange grinding noises to a unit that simply won't respond, our plumbers diagnose and repair garbage disposal issues quickly. Older Lakeway homes often have disposals that have been in place for decades, and targeted repairs can extend their life significantly. We assess the problem, explain your options, and get your kitchen back to normal.
Learn MoreGarbage Disposal Replacement
When a repair no longer makes sense, we'll help you select and install the right replacement unit for your kitchen and plumbing setup. We carry and install all major brands, and we'll make sure the new unit is properly wired, sealed, and connected. Lakeway homeowners often find that upgrading to a quieter, higher-horsepower model makes a noticeable difference in daily kitchen life.
Learn MoreNew Garbage Disposal Installation
Adding a garbage disposal to a kitchen that doesn't have one involves more than just dropping in a unit — it requires proper plumbing and electrical connections that meet code. Our licensed plumbers handle the full installation from start to finish, ensuring everything is set up safely and correctly. This is a common upgrade in older Lakeway homes that were originally built without a disposal.
Learn MoreDisposal Jam Clearing
A jammed disposal is one of the most common kitchen plumbing calls we get in Lakeway, especially in homes where the unit is older and the grinding components have worn down. We safely clear the jam without damaging the unit or the drain line beneath it. If the jam is a symptom of a bigger problem, we'll tell you honestly rather than just resetting it and walking out.
Disposal Drain Line Cleaning
The drain line connected to your garbage disposal can accumulate grease, food particles, and buildup over time — especially in kitchens that see heavy daily use. In Lakeway's humid environment, that buildup can also contribute to persistent odors under the sink. We clean the drain line thoroughly to restore proper flow and eliminate the source of the smell.
Learn MoreLeak Detection and Repair Under the Sink
Leaks around a garbage disposal — whether from the mounting flange, the drain connection, or the unit's body — can cause significant water damage to cabinetry and create mold conditions, a real concern in Lakeway's lakeside humidity. We locate the source of the leak precisely and make the right repair rather than a temporary patch. Catching and fixing a disposal leak early is far less costly than dealing with cabinet rot down the road.
Learn MoreGarbage Disposal Reset and Electrical Troubleshooting
If your disposal hums but won't spin, or trips repeatedly, the issue may be electrical rather than mechanical. Our plumbers check the reset button, the wiring connections, and the switch to identify the true cause. We don't guess — we troubleshoot systematically so you're not paying to replace a unit that just needed a simple fix.
Sink and Disposal Drain Unclogging
A clogged sink drain connected to your disposal can back up the entire kitchen side of your plumbing if left unaddressed. We clear the clog fully, not just enough to get water moving temporarily, and check the drain line for any secondary issues. This is especially relevant for older Lakeway homes where cast iron or galvanized drain lines may have narrowed significantly over the decades.
Learn MoreDishwasher Drain Connection Service
Your dishwasher typically drains through the garbage disposal, and a faulty connection between the two can cause backflow, odors, or standing water in the dishwasher. We inspect and service the dishwasher drain inlet on the disposal to make sure water is flowing in the right direction. It's a detail that gets overlooked, but it matters for both kitchen hygiene and appliance performance.
Emergency Garbage Disposal Service
A disposal failure in the middle of a dinner party or holiday gathering isn't something you want to leave until tomorrow. Cold is on the Right Plumbing & Air offers emergency service for Lakeway homeowners when you need someone out fast. We'll assess the situation, give you honest options, and get your kitchen functional again as quickly as possible.
Learn MoreGarbage Disposal Maintenance
Routine maintenance — including blade inspection, mounting check, and drain line flush — can add years to a garbage disposal's useful life. For Lakeway homeowners with older homes, staying ahead of wear is a smarter investment than waiting for a failure. We can include disposal maintenance as part of a broader plumbing checkup so nothing catches you off guard.

We Know Lakeway Homes
Lakeway has a housing stock that spans a pretty wide range — lakeside homes from the 1970s and 80s sitting alongside communities built in the last decade. That matters when it comes to plumbing. Older homes often have original drain lines, aging disposal units that have never been serviced, and cabinetry that's absorbed years of under-sink humidity. When we open up that cabinet, we're not surprised by what we find — we've seen it before in this community.
Living close to Lake Travis is one of Lakeway's best qualities, but the moisture that comes with it creates real wear on plumbing components. Corrosion around disposal flanges and drain connections is more common here than in drier parts of the Austin metro. Knowing that, we look beyond the obvious symptom and make sure the fix actually holds. Lakeway homeowners tend to stay in their homes for a long time and want a plumber they can call back — that's exactly the kind of relationship we're here to build.

High Fives from Austin Homeowners
Graysen and Andrew from Cold is on the Right came out just a couple hours after I called and took care of cutting out my kitchen faucet. They were professional, friendly, and clearly knowledgeable, explaining everything in a straightforward way without any upselling or confusion. It was refreshing to get honest answers and excellent service so quickly. I’ll definitely be using them again for future plumbing needs.
Services: Faucet repair
Price assessment: Reasonable price
We contacted Cold is on the Right today with an urgent plumbing need. Their very professional and organized crew arrived within 30 minutes and fixed our issue. We called five other plumbing companies before them and no one was able to help us. Cold is on the Right will now be the first plumbers we call.
Services: Drain cleaning
We called due to slow drainage and apparently main line backing up into master bathroom shower and sink. There is an automated line that takes your information and apparently works very well. Plumbers Billy and Jeremy showed up promptly after we were informed they were being dispatched this morning, they stayed and worked until the problem was solved and advised on possible future repairs that would need to be done. They were professional, smart, respectful of our home, and efficient in their actions. Let us know what things would cost and were honest in their assessment of what would be needed next and how (un) likely our homeowners insurance would be able to help. I appreciate the service and the fair treatment by these gentlemen. Thank you.
Santiago and Kyle were amazing during our total HVAC system replacement. Kind, informative, knowledgeable and careful to ensure a smooth install. They were efficient and got my AC working before my family arrived for spring break. Now enjoying the cool air with family. Great pricing and quick turn around from quote to finished job. Thank you! 10/10 would recommend them to anyone needing HVCA or plumbing work.
These guys are prompt and very polite, and explain your options well without trying to upsell. We thought we needed three things replaced, but they showed us that one of the three just needed an adjustment rather than a replacement. Wonderful service!
