"Needed a professional to help me accommodate my business restrooms for disable on code. They help me with no issues at all and excellent customer service."
"The crew called prior to arriving to let us when they would arrive. They arrived on time and were polite and professional. Did a great job packing and moving the items, we needed removed from our house as we prepared to list the house for sale. They made an stressful event much easier. "
"We are so grateful for the excellent service provided to us by Moving APT. A special shout-out to their senior moving specialist, Ms. Rachel Johnson who have done a phenomenal job to us from beginning, in-between, and through the end of the moving process. She was so responsive with any questions we asked. She made sure that we feel valued and have assured us that we will be taken care of. True enough, she was always there to answer any questions. She made sure that we were followed up by the dispatchers and that we have received a call from the moving company driver/owner who will pick up our goods. She never left us during the entire moving process. We were scammed by the first moving company we hired, so we were skeptical at first. However, with every detailed information she has provided us, from the start of the inquiry, we already feel that we are in good hands. She was very professional, prompt, responsive and kind. She even went above and beyond her duties by drafting me a letter that I may use to demand our money back from the first moving company that tried to scammed us. The movers and drivers that picked up and dropped our goods belong from two different companies. All I can say is that these guys took excellent care of our items. We got all of our furnitures and boxes securely and safely here in SC just the way they were wrapped/packed the first time from CA. Thank you so much,, Moving APT! May God continue to bless you and all your staff in your future endeavors!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Moving APT to those who are planning to relocate out of state."
Once you have your garbage disposal disconnected, you can remove the mounting bracket by unscrewing the bolts that are holding the bracket. You can back them out just enough to pop off the snap ring, which prevents the bottom portion of the bracket from disconnecting from the top when you unscrew the bolts. Use a regular screwdriver to pop off the snap ring, and the rest of the components should fall off by themselves.
Garbage disposals are durable appliances that usually last at least eight years as long as you clean and maintain them. It’s relatively rare for a garbage disposal to break on its own, as most malfunctions happen due to user errors, like overstuffing the grinding compartment or damaging the blades by trying to dispose of metal or bone. Eventually, cracks or leaks could develop in the unit, which requires a full replacement.
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.
These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly when you replace your garbage disposal. Make sure you shut the power off to the area first and check that it’s off with a voltage detector. Disconnect the main drain line and P-trap, and then disconnect the dishwasher drain line if you have one connected. You can then unscrew your garbage disposal using a disposal wrench. Just make sure you disconnect the electrical lines before removing your appliance.
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.
