Well, your water pressure is not likely related to the garbage disposal. I'd suggest using Angie's List to find a good local plumber to inspect it.

Especially if no one was there to turn off the water. Sellers who don't want to put more money into the property have few choices. Keeping the heater on and opening cabinet doors can be costly. The same goes for installing heat tape on pipes both in installation cost and the electrical energy these devices consume. Seller's need a simple, yet portable, solution that consumes little energy and can temporarily hook up to a homes plumbing (without having to call a plumber) and protect both the hot and cold lines from freezing throughout the entire home. RedyTemp is just that. Installation is only 3 steps and can take as little as 10 minutes to install. It works by monitoring the temperature of water in the homes pipes. If the temperature falls below a owners chosen temperature,(40F to 115F) the system activates a pump which circulates water throughout the homes pipes to prevent water from freezing. RedyTemp is the only system that allows the owner to choose the low temperature settings for circulating water throughout the home. The RedyTemp uses so little energy a backup power supply like those used for computers can allow RedyTemp to continue protecting the home during area power outages. Other times of the year when there's no risk of pipes freezing, the RedyTemp's temperature and built-in timer can be set to deliver convenient no-wait hot water throughout the home. Showing a home which demonstrates not having to wait for hot water at sinks and showers has it's obvious advantages to both parties. States like New Mexico, N. Carolina and Arizona give homeowners as much as $150 in rebates for installing a RedyTemp due to the 1,000's of gallons of water which it saves each year (typically 16,000 gal yr) not to mention the lower septic system costs. RedyTemp has been around since 1994 and is worth looking into if your concerned with freezing pipes. Frozen pipes can burst and turn a good investment into a nightmare.
