"I needed to have the gas valve for kitchen stove replaced. Felix had his brother come over that afternoon. He called the company who was going to install the new stove to ensure he put the correct valve in. Excellent service."

"I am the luckiest customer in the world to have hired the best plumber in the world to fix a sudden water torrent leak from my garbage disposal. That's how I felt after the outstanding job that he did. Jose Hernandez of Smart Choice Plumbing & Rooter, Inc., in my estimation, has perfected the art of plumbing. He is super knowledgeable, competent, highly organized, and ultra kind. His best is the very best and if you like, he'll explain the process as he goes along. He knows his stuff very well! He did a beautiful job replacing my suddenly broken garbage disposal and also my kitchen faucet which I couldn't turn right or left for the last 5 years. He was so careful with each step he took, including using his strong water extractor which he brought with him just in case to remove as much water as possible under the sink's flooded area. This made for a much better working space under the sink, as well as taking loads of dirty leftover water filled with the floating white based peeling paint from the floor of the cupboard coming loose from the wetness from the sudden leak. Just watching the care he put into each step was amazing. Each step built upon the next, and before I knew it, he had that under-sink cupboard rid of all the loose peeling paint and dirty water and looking so much safer and well-managed again, with the new kitchen faucet and garbage disposal installed perfectly, as well. I am so impressed with the great INTEGRITY this man has in every big or little step in the process the job called for. You rarely see that honorable type of commitment anymore, and it is such a gift to be the recipient of a truly honorable professional who literally takes his job to heart. Jose came in his wonderful truck that always contains several items of everything that he might need to use for many different projects needing to be fixed, replaced, or restored, so he rarely has to stop what he's doing in order to go get one or two special parts. This makes the job take less time in the long run because he has what he needs. And when he says he'll come back tomorrow, he comes back tomorrow. Jose Hernandez is a man who keeps his word and who always finishes the job successfully, no matter how complicated some jobs may be. I have told my neighbors and friends that when they have need for a plumber, go no further than calling Jose Hernandez. He will make you feel so safe as you watch the meticulous way he works, while always keeping calm throughout each job, and informing you of what he is doing. He is conscientious to a "T" and he leaves everything neater than when he came! In my experience and estimation, Jose Hernandez is OUTSTANDING in his profession and I would recommend him every time, even to the Queen of England!! His standards and integrity are amazing and the BEST. He is a man of his word, and he takes ownership of the responsibility of giving his ALL to every commitment he makes. I feel so lucky to be one of his customers. I think you will be, as well. * Jose Hernandez's Company: SMART CHOICE Plumbing & Rooter."

"This was done to remove dust and odor coming from heating system which seems to be drawn from the air in the attic. Dust was improved but odor is still a problem. I will meet with them again this winter to work on further reducing the odor.

"I really liked the installer, Nate, who tackled a tough installation and handled it perfectly. After installing a complex new flue / exhaust duct -- he even fixed the wrong exhaust pipe, at no extra charge and no complaint, that roofers had put on last year when I had a new roof put on. Nate did great work, everything was tidy and professional. It was not cheap, but having a careful worker who cares like Nate makes it worthwhile."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

There are many maintenance and repair issues that lead to a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Regular clogs place wear and tear on the motors, leading to an eventual shutdown. Electrical issues at the breaker, wall outlet, or disposal itself can fry the unit. The most common cause is simply a worn-down motor. These motors can only handle so much use before powering down for good. 

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.

The two main negatives of garbage disposals are they are a safety hazard in homes with children, and they frequently encounter blockage issues. While they might be annoying to fix and monitor, garbage disposals can significantly lower your trash use and are a great way to dispose of organic waste. While there are negatives, the vast majority of homeowners acknowledge the positives are enough to install a disposal in their home. 

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. 

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.
