The humble garbage disposal is a small appliance that delivers big convenience—until it fails. Whether you are remodeling a kitchen or responding to an emergency replacement, a professional garbage disposal install must be fast, code-compliant, and budget-accurate. CountBricks combines on-site voice capture, AI estimating, and real-time material pricing to give residential contractors and homeowners total control over the process.
• Prevents leaks that can damage cabinets and flooring
• Ensures electrical and plumbing connections meet local residential codes
• Extends the appliance’s lifespan by reducing vibration and jam risk
• Minimizes callbacks and warranty claims for builders and remodelers
• New construction kitchen fit-outs
• Whole-home remodels upgrading dated disposals
• Post-purchase punch-list fixes for real-estate investors
• Emergency replacements after motor burnouts or major clogs
1. Voice-powered walkthrough: Using the CountBricks mobile app, our technician documents existing sink, trap, and electrical conditions in seconds.
2. Instant AI estimate: CountBricks AI references current Austin, TX material costs and labor rates to produce a line-item proposal while we are still at the sink.
3. Client approval on the spot: Homeowners review pricing, sign digitally, and schedule right from the app.
4. Material sync: Approved parts—flanges, putty, fittings, and the disposal unit—are sourced at live prices and placed on hold at local suppliers.
5. Code-compliant rough-in: We shut off power, remove the existing unit, and inspect the drain line fall per residential code.
6. Secure mounting assembly: A stainless-steel mounting ring and vibration-dampening gasket are installed to protect granite or composite sinks.
7. Electrical and plumbing connections: A grounded pigtail or hard-wire whip is installed, and slip-joint piping is adjusted to prevent standing water.
8. Live testing: Water is run for three minutes while the disposal operates under load; CountBricks logs decibel levels and AMP draw for the project record.
9. Digital closeout: The homeowner receives an itemized invoice, warranty details, and maintenance tips automatically from CountBricks.com.
