"I tried to replace our old Moen faucets myself, but was unable to remove the old ones. Rudy responded quickly after I first called him and he came to see what I needed. Initially, he was unable to remove the old faucets due to the type of faucets we had and limited space under the sinks. He came later with his assistant, but they were unable to install standard faucets with mounting nuts from below the sink given the limited space. It took a couple of weeks to find a faucet with bracket and screws instead. Once Rudy found these, he and his assistant came and installed them in about an hour-and-a-half. The new (Delta) faucets were more expensive than the ones I had originally bought at Home Depot, but were of better quality."

"I called them at around noon. They returned my call in few minutes and informed me they will come after they finished the 2 jobs the had that afternoon. They came around 45 minutes late because of the traffic around 6:00 pm. I am actually glad they came. They were very polite an professional and explained to me that previous repaired was not done correctly and the wrong kind of pipe was used. Metal residues or what looked like it were build up.. The cleared the clog and replaced the valve of the sewer outlet.. He explained to me the sewer outlet was very old and there were lots of derbies from deterioration residues.. They replaced the part which is outside the wall. The had to go to store to get the right size valve. They were very clean. I am happy for the work. He gave me advice what not to put in the garbage disposal and explained the plumbing of my house to me. The whole job did not take very long. I definitely would use their service again."

"I bought a Big Deal for 3 men for 2 hours with a moving truck for under $200. I had everything very prepared, furniture was empty & clean, drawers removed, ready to go. They wrapped all furniture with packing blankets & my super large mirror with bubble wrap & packing blankets. Alex & one other man packed, drove, unpacked everything in just over the alotted time, but didn't charge me extra. They were great...punctual, fast, efficient, neat and very personable. I will definitely use them again. Very pleasant experience!

"It's Christmas day and our kitchen drain is plugged up. What to do? Get on Angies List and look up and quot;plumbers-drain cleaningand quot;. There on the front page is listed (among others) The Drain Company. Highly rated, and a local business in Northridge. (Always like to support local businesses) I check out their prices and note that since it's a holiday, I'll be facing double time charges. But a sink full of dirty dishes says to bite the bullet. Hopefully it won't take too long. (I wonder just what it was that my wife put down the disposal that is causing the problem. Looked like potato debris when I tried to clear the drain with a plumber's helper)

I call The Drain Co and speak with Star, who is a very pleasant person, and tells me she can have a drain tech to my house in an hour, and reminds me about the holiday rate. We set-up the appointment and my wife smiles for the first time today. The tech, Ken, is about an hour late, but explains that he is very busy today. and quot;So what did your wife put down the disposal?and quot; asks Ken, and quot;Potatoes?and quot; Surprised he nailed it on the first guess, I have to ask, and quot;How'd you know?and quot; and quot;Oh, just you and about a million others,and quot; Ken informs me with a smile. My wife is off the hook. Ken gets right to work, and in less than fifteen minutes, he has the drain running free and has even cleaned up the sink area. and quot;This is the easiest one I've done today,and quot; says Ken. Wow. I'm impressed. Worth the holiday rate, but here's another surprise; Ken only charges me the standard fifty-five dollars. I figure maybe it's because it was so easy. Hey, am I going to argue? Not long after Ken leaves, the phone rings. It's Star, informing me that Ken forgot about the holiday rate, but not to worry, the company is standing behind the price he quoted. Well, now I am really impressed. Nice people, good job, and fair-minded - what's not to like?

If you have a problem with your drains, I can strongly recommend the folks at The Drain Company. I think you will be pleased with the experience. And remind your wife to run the water after the disposal does its job to carry the debris out to the main drain."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

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. 

Never put glass in the garbage disposal. It can damage your disposal or eject shards of glass out of the disposal and cause injury. If you get broken glass in your garbage disposal, turn it off and cut the power from the breaker, use a tool like pliers or tongs to remove the glass, and use a wet-dry vacuum to remove the remaining glass pieces. If you can’t access the disposal safely, call a garbage disposal repair pro.

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.

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.

If you cook a lot or have a larger household, a garbage disposal can be worth it, since it streamlines your kitchen duties and helps to keep food waste out of landfills. It helps to know the cost of garbage disposal installation before you make your decision. The average price is about $400, but you can expect to pay more for higher-end models or if you hire a pro to do the job for you.
