Hugo Pérez Handyman is your go to team of professionals for all of your needs. We work tirelessly to meet and exceed your expectations and constantly strive for perfection. Give us a call today and lets get started!

"I hired Hugo to do 85? of fence replacement and a gate update and cost was more important than making it look good. Hugo asked me a few questions and got me a quote that was reasonable based on what the last company had charged. Then they built this amazing fence and gate that changed my entire back yard. Hugo was onsite checking the work every day, and the crew was here 5 minutes before the start time. We?d been trying to figure out a ramp for years so I asked for ideas. This was not a money making job but it was done with just as much attention to detail as all the other work. When they left, they cleaned up stuff the last company left. These days I?m happy if people just do their job, so I?m really happy with the work and the entire experience I had. "

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

If your garbage disposal powers up and you can hear it hum, but the arms inside aren’t moving, the problem might be a stubborn clog, a build-up of grease, or a jam of the impeller plate. To troubleshoot these, ensure your unit is off and disconnected from its power source before checking inside the drain or attempting to manually rotate the impeller arms or plate from the underside of the unit. A hex wrench can help.

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. 

These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.

While unplugging your garbage disposal and plugging it back in may help, most units have an actual reset button, a bright red switch found on the underside of your unit. If your garbage disposal needs resetting, you may notice this button sticking out about a quarter of an inch from the surface of the unit, with which it’s usually flush. Simply depress this reset button to reset the unit, and then test to ensure it’s working about 10 minutes later.

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.
