"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."
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.
Most garbage disposals have a reset button that can be triggered with a tool as simple and accessible as your index finger. That said, if you need to perform a more in-depth troubleshooting step, like manually moving the arms inside the unit or rotating the impeller plate, a hex wrench is the most common tool you’ll need. Most garbage disposals come with a hex wrench.
You may be able to install a garbage disposal on your own, especially if you're handy or have some experience with plumbing. However, if you have any concerns or want to make absolutely sure that the connections are installed correctly, you may be better off hiring a local garbage disposal installer to do the job.
The main issue with garbage disposals is clogging. This can mean a clogging of the pipes that expel the food along with water, or a clogging of the mechanical parts themselves. The problem lies in the solution because you can’t easily see clogs if they’re inside the system, and reaching in to dislodge stuck items is a risky proposal. Call a pro and ask what they would do, but if you can’t see the clog easily, and running the unit won’t free it, you need to let a professional handle the fix.
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.
