"First, let me say - if you are looking for a company that takes customer service seriously, and has the highest ethical standards I have ever experianced - then this is the company I would recommend do your next move. This is how my move went. C2 sent a 3 man crew to handle the move. They did an exceptional job double wrapping with UHaul blankets the furniture and other items that were expensive. Many of the furniture items were very heavy. Many of the furniture items had custom cut glass covering their top surfaces. All of these were carefully removed and packaged. There was one glass top that was quite large & long in length that did break as the packers were lifting it off the dresser. The moving crew indicated C2 Moving would take care of the cost to replace it. We completed the 1,700 mile trip to Canada in the 2016 26' UHaul Ford truck (exceptional truck) and upon unpacking all the items - there was not a single item damaged or scratched from the trip - remarkable!. Regarding the broken custom cut dresser top glass. C2 had a new custom piece made and even went through the expense of shipping this all the way to Canada in a specially made plywood crate (the shipping costs to do this were extremely expensive & and the cost of re-doing the custom glass piece was not cheap) Unfortunately, when the glass arrived in Canada it had suffered breakage during shipping. I informed C2 moving of the breakage and instead of trying to ship a new piece of custom glass, the owner decided to issue a Cashiers Check for the amount I originally paid for the glass top, as showen on the invoice I provided to them. I would like to reassure anyone looking for moving, packing, loading & unloading services - or both. That I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending C2 Moving to you. The crew that did my packaging and loading were exceptional in every way. The owner Charles, who I would suggest you speak to, only if the office staff are not able to resolve your problem - possess the highest ethical standards I have ever experienced. I know he most likely lost any profit he would have made on my move - with the replacing and shipping of the glass replacement to me in Canada. Despite this, he was willing to suffer an even furthur loss by issuing a Cashiers Check for the full amount I had originally paid for the glass, as evidenced by the invoice I provided to him. All I can say is, what an exceptional company, and what an exceptional owner! My apologies for not getting this review sent off much sooner!"
Your garbage disposal is not draining because it might have a clog due to food waste, a foreign object, grease, oil, fat, or it may have a broken motor. When water doesn't flush out of the disposal, that's a key sign that your disposal has a clog or needs repair.
The most common garbage disposal size in the U.S. is 1/2 horsepower. This size is ideal for households with three or fewer people or those that don't produce much food waste. Although 1/2 horsepower can't handle the typical food waste load for a household of four (which is about 250 pounds of food waste annually) as effectively as 3/4 horsepower, it remains the most common size of garbage disposal on the market.
While the drain connection for a garbage disposal is nearly universal and fits standard sink drain holes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, the size of the disposal unit itself is not. You must have enough space in the cabinet underneath your sink to accommodate the disposal's housing. A larger model may not fit in a compact cabinet or if the existing plumbing is arranged in an unusual way. Before buying a new garbage disposal, measure the available space under your sink. If you are replacing an old unit, it's often easiest to choose a new model of a similar size.
No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.
However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.
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.
