At Cold is on the Right, we understand that a disposal problem isn't just an inconvenience — in an older home with aging drain lines, a failing unit can quickly lead to bigger plumbing headaches. We handle everything from stubborn jams and persistent odors to full unit replacements, and we service all major brands so you're never left guessing whether we can handle your system.
Our licensed plumbers take the time to evaluate the full picture before making recommendations. In many Westlake homes, the original plumbing beneath the sink has seen decades of use, and we'll flag any related issues we spot while we're in there. Whether you need a quick repair or want to upgrade to a quieter, higher-performance unit that matches the quality of your kitchen, we'll give you honest guidance and get the work done right.

Garbage Disposal Services We Provide in Westlake
Garbage Disposal Repair
Whether your disposal is jammed, humming without grinding, or tripping its reset button constantly, our plumbers diagnose the issue and get it running again. Older units common in Westlake homes can develop worn internal components over time, and we carry parts to handle most repairs on the spot.
Garbage Disposal Replacement
When repair no longer makes sense, we help you choose and install a replacement unit that fits your kitchen's plumbing configuration and your household's needs. We handle the full swap — disconnecting the old unit, inspecting the drain connections, and installing the new one correctly so it runs cleanly from day one.
Garbage Disposal Installation
If your Westlake home doesn't have a disposal or you're doing a kitchen renovation, we install new units from leading brands with proper wiring, mounting, and drain connections. Getting the installation right the first time prevents leaks and avoids the drain problems that come from improper fitting.
Jam Removal and Reset
A jammed disposal is one of the most common service calls we get, and it's often caused by hard food items or utensils that get past the splash guard. Our plumbers clear the jam safely, check the grinding components for damage, and reset the unit so it's ready for normal use.
Disposal Leak Repair
Leaks at the sink flange, drain line, or dishwasher connection are common in aging kitchen plumbing and can quietly cause cabinet damage before you notice them. We locate the source, repair or reseal the connection, and check surrounding pipes while we're under the sink. For related plumbing repairs beyond the disposal itself, we handle those too.
Learn MoreDrain Line Cleaning for Disposal Systems
Grease, food particles, and buildup accumulate in the drain line connected to your disposal, especially in kitchens that see heavy use. Slow draining or backups after running the disposal are a clear sign the line needs attention. We clear the drain fully so water and waste move the way they should.
Learn MoreOdor Elimination and Deep Cleaning
Persistent odors from a garbage disposal are usually caused by food residue trapped inside the grinding chamber or under the splash guard. We clean and flush the unit thoroughly, removing buildup that household products often can't reach, leaving your kitchen sink smelling fresh.
Disposal Wiring and Electrical Checks
Many older Westlake homes have disposal wiring that hasn't been touched since original installation, and electrical issues can cause intermittent failures or safety concerns. We inspect the switch, outlet, and wiring connections and make sure everything meets current safety standards.
Upgrade to a Quieter, Higher-Performance Unit
If your disposal is loud enough to interrupt a conversation, newer models with better insulation and stronger motors make a real difference. We help Westlake homeowners select a premium unit that fits their plumbing and performs quietly, a worthwhile upgrade in kitchens that get daily use.
Emergency Disposal and Kitchen Drain Service
A backed-up kitchen sink or disposal that's flooding the cabinet underneath can't wait until next week. We offer emergency plumbing service for Westlake homeowners when disposal or drain issues become urgent.
Learn MoreSink and Disposal System Inspections
If you're buying a Westlake home or haven't had your kitchen plumbing looked at in years, a disposal and drain inspection can surface problems before they become expensive. We assess the unit, the mounting, the drain connections, and the condition of the pipes beneath the sink and give you an honest report.

We Know Westlake Homes
The homes west of Austin in Westlake Hills and the surrounding neighborhoods were largely built between the late 1970s and the 1990s, and many of them have never had their original plumbing significantly updated. That means cast iron drain lines, older fittings, and kitchen plumbing that was installed when disposals were less powerful and kitchens saw less daily strain. When something fails under the sink in a home like this, you need a plumber who understands what they're looking at — not someone who treats every job as if it's new construction.
We've worked in these neighborhoods long enough to know that mature landscaping and hilly terrain can affect how drain lines run, and that premium finishes in Westlake kitchens mean extra care is required when working around cabinetry and fixtures. Homeowners here expect a high level of craftsmanship, and that expectation is one we take seriously on every visit. Cold is on the Right brings the experience to work confidently in older, well-maintained homes where getting it right the first time is the only acceptable outcome.

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!
