"They did a number of things. Braced and restrapped water heater and ran copper line for pressure relief to outside. Unclogged master toilet and reseated. Bolted down second toilet. Reconnected clothes dryer vent. Repaired air gap/garbage disposal and drain line under kitchen sink, crawled under house and remove galvanized pipe straps and replaced with nylon pipe clamps. I was a contractor and used to do this work, o an very critical. They did an outstanding job. Went the extra mile several times. I was expecting a bill for a higher amount but they stuck with their estimate. I recommend them highly and would use them again!!"

"Elsy ( I believe she was the plumber from your company via Angi) arrived as scheduled, on Saturday, 09/28/2024. She attempted to repair my garbage disposal unit but was unable to do so as the unit's wiring was worn out. I advised the unit is 40 yrs old. She recommended to purchase a new one. We made a trip together to the local Home Depot store and I purchased the same brand s she recommended. She installed it in record time (within the 2.5 hrs) and completed the job. She also cleaned the work space and carried the old one to my recycling bin. Very satisfied with her work. Also, I want to know if I will receive a billing statement for my records? Thank you for your time & assistance."

Customers say: Quality work

"Jay & his team were faced with a very challenging job of root intrusion in one of my drainpipes that ran under my concrete-slab-on-grade house. This required jack hammering a trench through my breakfast nook?s tile floor and about 8 of concrete to follow approximately 2 ft. of solidly plugged pipeline. To add to the difficulty, adjacent copper pipes required his staff to drill and excavate concrete and clay soil as if they were digging at an archaeological site, requiring painstaking care. New materials were used to replace the existing drainpipe, over which they poured concrete and prepped the area for my tile expert. Additional challenging work scope was completed by Jay, who replaced a kitchen sink faucet and soap dispenser, which were atop a granite slab and difficult to remove, due to the garbage disposal unit and sink drain blocking easy access. My husband and I were in awe of Jays patience and skill, as well as the expertise of his staff. Great communication & status updates."

"I had to change the appointments several times due to conflicts. The office staff, especially Jeff, was extremely obliging. Mike did the estimate. He was very knowledgeable and spent some time discussing options with me. I wanted to purchase my own faucet/sink and he even gave me some tips on that. Jose and Javier arrived on time to do the installs. They were great. Even though they had to leave to pick-up the toilets and my delivery of the faucet/sink was delayed, they finished everything same day. They were friendly, yet very professional. As I was recovering from a medical procedure, there were certain preparations I was unable to do in advance. They were extremely accommodating in handling those themselves. They kept me appraised of their progress & concerns and cleaned up the work areas when they were done. Best of all, everything works wonderfully and the overall cost was within the estimate. I will recommend this company without hesitation. Plan to have them come back to do some plumbing improvements early next year.

"I called Oak Plumbing to have my garbage disposal repaired. A young man named Andrew showed up at my house and quickly assessed the situation. He was prompt, efficient and professional. He found the problem and resolved it, allowing me to get back to doing dishes. I also appreciate that their service charge is very affordable. I'm very happy with the job that was completed and will be calling Oak Plumbing for all of my future plumbing needs!"

"Great! We had a one hour virtual appointment to diagnose the problem with our dryer, James emailed us the part number to allow us to shop around and get it at a good price, and walked us through how we would install it once it arrives. He was knowledgeable, kind and very helpful."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

Garbage disposals can be considered bad for the environment due to their electricity usage, but good for the environment because they reduce the food waste sent to landfills. If everyone used a garbage disposal, it would tax the wastewater treatment facilities in that region, but if we had to choose one of the options, we’d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly. 

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.

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.

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.

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.
