A local home improvement company in Northeast Albuquerque needed help finishing out their office kitchen. Staff were dealing with food scraps, slow drainage, and the daily hassle of a kitchen sink that wasn’t set up for a garbage disposal. B. Carlson Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing returned to the property to complete a professional garbage disposal installation, giving the team a more reliable way to handle food waste and protect their plumbing long term.
Job Overview
- Location: Northeast Albuquerque, NM
- Client Type: Commercial office kitchen for a local home improvement company
- Scope: Install new garbage disposal at kitchen sink, connect to existing drain and electrical, and verify proper operation
- Equipment Installed: New continuous-feed garbage disposal, standard residential/light commercial unit
- Additional Work (if any): Reconnected drain piping and dishwasher discharge, checked existing electrical switch, tested for leaks and proper drainage
- Why It Mattered: The office kitchen needed a cleaner, easier way to handle food scraps and reduce clogs so staff could use the sink without constant backups or bad smells
- What We Found: When our plumber arrived, the office kitchen sink wasn’t set up the way the staff needed for daily use. The existing drain arrangement had been working “just enough,” but it wasn’t designed to handle regular food waste from lunches and team gatherings.
Staff reported that they often had to scrape plates into the trash and still ended up with small bits of food going down the drain. Over time, this can lead to slow drainage, frequent clogs, and unpleasant odors in the kitchen. The plumbing layout under the sink also showed signs of previous changes, and it was clear the space was ready for a properly installed garbage disposal to keep things running smoothly.
The Solution
Our B. Carlson plumbing install team completed a full garbage disposal installation at the office kitchen sink.
First, we safely shut off water and power to the area and removed the existing sink drain components that were in the way. We then installed a new disposal mounting assembly at the sink opening and carefully aligned the new continuous-feed garbage disposal unit.
From there, we:
- Connected the disposal outlet to the existing drain and trap assembly
- Tied in the dishwasher discharge line to the disposal where needed
- Verified that the existing electrical switch properly controlled the unit
- Secured all fittings and tightened all connections
Once everything was in place, we restored water and power, ran the disposal under load, and checked the system for leaks, vibration, and unusual noise. The result was a clean, professional garbage disposal installation in Albuquerque that’s built to handle everyday use.

The Results
With the new garbage disposal in place, the office kitchen sink now handles everyday food scraps without constant worry about clogs. Staff can rinse dishes more easily, and small food particles are ground up and sent safely down the drain.
The plumbing under the sink is cleaner and better organized, which makes future maintenance simpler and helps reduce the risk of leaks. Overall, the kitchen is more efficient, smells fresher, and supports the kind of daily use you’d expect in a busy workplace—or a typical Albuquerque home.
