"Called via phone, asked for an estimate and was quoted a great price. I called another company prior to calling 5 Star Plumbing and another company wanted to charge me 4 times the amount. Peter arrived early, installed the part, and tested the water heater. Provided excellent work and customer service. Highly recommend and would use his services again. Peter also came out within 10-15 minutes after speaking to him since we're located nearby. Thanks!"

"The plumber walked me through the pricing before starting the work, and installed the new disposal and faucet in a timely manner. He did a good job cleaning up after the job, and the work has held up ever since."

"Needed toilet installed on an emergency basis. Matt was quick to respond and probably could have charged a lot more but didn't. Matt is honest and very experienced, we will use him for all our plumbing needs."

"Plumber responded the same day I called. I already purchased the parts and he installed them. He was done in 3 hours and did a very good job. It was a little more money than I expected, but when you get quality work you have to pay for it. I would use this company again. And I recommend them."

"I had replaced the pump and timer after the old pump died. I purchased a new pump from Leslie's Pool Supply and installed it, but I couldn't get the water circulating well, even after replumbing from 1.5" to 2" pipe. Matt responded quickly, discovered there was a crucial part missing from the new pump just by listening and observing it in operation. He recommended replacing the old filter system because of it's inefficiency. He did not charge for his visit, and offered to install the missing part. Based on our conversation, I contacted Leslie's and demanded a remedy for the pump. They ordered the missing part and had it here in 3 days. I asked Matt to go ahead and replace the filter, which he and Brian did yesterday. They were delayed by some emergency work, but called ahead and we agreed on a new time later the same day. They got here on time, installed the missing pump part, took out the old filter and installed the new one in about 75 minutes. They also fixed a problematic connection on the pool sweep pump, and while Brian worked on the plumbing for the new filter, Matt took the time to sweep and net the pool, and check the pool chemistry. Matt wrote up the invoice reflecting his 5% Angie's List discount without my having to present the coupon and they left after ensuring the system is working properly. I expect to call them if we have any other issues in the future."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

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.

In some cases, it’s more cost-effective in the long run to replace a garbage disposal, but it depends on the specific issue you’re having and the age of your disposal. You should ask a garbage disposal repair tech for a quote to repair your appliance and then see if it would be more worthwhile to replace it. Additionally, garbage disposals last for around 15 years, so if you know your appliance is reaching that age, it’s likely better to pay for a new garbage disposal rather than sink money into repairs.

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.

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.

On average, it takes one to four hours for a professional to install a garbage disposal. This includes removing the old unit, taking necessary measurements for positioning, removing and fitting new pipes, and installing the brand-new disposal system. If there are unforeseen issues, such as accessibility concerns, the process takes longer.
