"The crew did an excellent job, trimmed my 2 palo verde and 1 mesquite tree perfectly. The 3 cactus plants were carefully removed from the pots and replanted in the ground. The crew cleaned up afterward. Was very pleased with the results and would recommend this company without reservation."
"Mr. Bemis called me the day before the date scheduled to come back to do the actual timer repair and assessment and repair of irrigation lines. He explained that he had contracted the flu and was unable to make the appointment the following day. He apologized and scheduled another appointment for the following week. I thanked him for calling me and assured him that the following week was fine with me as long as he was feeling better. At that time he arrived on time with his foreman. We had arranged earlier that he would charge $40.00 per man hour to do the work. They fixed the timer and checked the drip lines, telling me what to look out for in the future that would indicate that a new main pipe would need to be replaced. Rather than charging me the agreed-upon rate of $40.00 per man hour ($80.00 total), he just charged me $50.00 total. I was very pleased with his work and his work ethic. I will definitely call him again for any future irrigation needs.
On average, a garbage disposal can last anywhere from 7 to 12 years, with many models functioning well for about 10 years. With heavy usage, a motor may last a minimum of five years, while grinding plates will wear down over time. It's generally a good idea to consider a replacement if your unit is approaching the 10-year mark. Other signs that it's time for a new disposal include frequent leaks, persistent clogs, lingering odors, lack of power, or unusual noises. If your unit is not that old, it's worth investigating if a less expensive part, like a rubber seal or a loose hose, is causing the issue.
Soil is just one of the items you shouldn't put down a garbage disposal. Garbage disposals are only meant for soft, non-fibrous foods. Large amounts of topsoil, dirt, or rocks will damage the blades of your garbage disposal or clog the pipes. If a small amount of dirt goes down the drain as you repot a plant, you shouldn't have to worry, but never dump a whole pot of soil in the sink for fast disposal.
There are many maintenance and repair issues that lead to a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Regular clogs place wear and tear on the motors, leading to an eventual shutdown. Electrical issues at the breaker, wall outlet, or disposal itself can fry the unit. The most common cause is simply a worn-down motor. These motors can only handle so much use before powering down for good.
In some cases, it’s more cost-effective in the long run to replace a garbage disposal, but it depends on the specific issue you’re having and the age of your disposal. You should ask a garbage disposal repair tech for a quote to repair your appliance and then see if it would be more worthwhile to replace it. Additionally, garbage disposals last for around 15 years, so if you know your appliance is reaching that age, it’s likely better to pay for a new garbage disposal rather than sink money into repairs.
Whether it's worth repairing your garbage disposal depends on its age and the specific problem. Generally, if the unit is eight years old or younger, repair is a good option. For minor issues like a bad seal or a simple jam, a repair can be inexpensive, sometimes under $10. However, if the motor is broken (a repair that can cost $150 or more) or the unit is getting old, it's often more cost-effective to replace the entire disposal.
