"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 FAQs, answered by experts

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.

These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly when you replace your garbage disposal. Make sure you shut the power off to the area first and check that it’s off with a voltage detector. Disconnect the main drain line and P-trap, and then disconnect the dishwasher drain line if you have one connected. You can then unscrew your garbage disposal using a disposal wrench. Just make sure you disconnect the electrical lines before removing your appliance.

Replacing a garbage disposal costs anywhere from $150 to $950, but the average cost is somewhere around $550. There are two types of garbage disposal units, and continuous feed disposals tend to cost more than batch feed disposals. Going for an aluminum garbage disposal is also significantly cheaper than choosing a stainless steel garbage disposal. You'll also need to factor in the horsepower of the motor, labor, and the removal and disposal of your old unit.

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.
