Garbage Disposal Repair in Texas

Across the 128 Texas towns we route calls in, 59% of housing units are detached houses and 35% are in multi-unit buildings. That split decides who owns the machine under the sink, which decides who pays for it.

The quick answer

Texas runs 59% detached houses, 35% multi-unit and 3% manufactured across the 128 towns covered here. In a house the disposal is usually the occupant's; in a rented apartment it is usually the landlord's.

SinkGrind is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. Every state page sets out who licenses plumbers there and where to check, so you can confirm before work begins. We carry out no work, we sell no equipment, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.

How Texas is built

Housing type	Share of housing units
Detached houses	59%
Attached houses	4%
Multi-unit buildings	35%
Manufactured and mobile homes	3%

Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25024 (units in structure), 2023 release. Universe: 5,133,894 housing units including vacant ones, across the areas we cover.

The state does not divide evenly: 71 Texas towns lead on detached houses, 25 Texas towns lead on manufactured homes, 21 Texas towns lead on single-family housing, 7 Texas towns lead on a mix of building types, 4 Texas towns lead on multi-unit buildings. That is why the town pages below carry their own figure rather than inheriting this one.
