Garbage Disposal Removal & Kitchen Sink Repipe – Amelia by the Sea, Fernandina Beach, FL

At a condo in Amelia by the Sea on Amelia Island, a homeowner decided they no longer needed their kitchen garbage disposal and requested it be removed. Since the homeowner was out of town, we coordinated access through PMSI and communicated directly with the homeowner over the phone to ensure everything went smoothly.

Our technician successfully removed the disposal and repiped the kitchen sink, including installing a new P-trap to ensure proper drainage and long-term reliability. The system was tested and is now functioning exactly as it should.
