"After lining up three plumbing contractors to install a kitchen faucet, a garbage disposal and fix a drainage leak, I selected Superior Plumbing to do the job because their technician seemed to have the necessary professionalism for a good job and they were also the least expensive of the three contractors I contacted. My service tech Armin was on time, cheerful, courteous and knowledgeable. It was obvious that he cared for my particular needs and he even announced that he loves his job and always looks forward to doing things right. He took almost exactly the time that was originally quoted and did an excellent job, cleaning up thoroughly before leaving. I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again. Thanks Armin."

"We highly recommend Carlos for any project you have in your home.  My wife and I are new to the area and wanted to find someone that would help us install some cabinets in our bathroom.  Ended up updating the entire bathroom and we are extremely happy.  For those of you who would like to get more detailed information, please read on.

So, where do I start, how can I provide you, the reader of this review with true and objective information without sounding like I have a vested interest.  Well, you will have to read and believe everything I am telling you.

My wife and I are new to Burlingame, just bought a beautiful 1906 crafstman home, of course with that comes all of the headaches of an old house that needs lots of repair.

We needed someone that could help us with some of the update projects that we've been planning now for a while and of course, as usual we tried to do it ourselves?.Not advisable, if you want to maintain your sanity or would like to be able to spend the little free time you have with your family enjoying your day off.

At any rate, we decided to join Angie's list and look for someone who could help us with our projects.  Boy was that ever the best move. We found Carlos under Handyman/Painting.  I have to say, he is not really just a handyman or a painter, he is really a perfectionist and a real professional.

We started by wanting to install some cabinets in our only bathroom in the house and ended up completely updating the bathroom and this is because we decided that we could trust Carlos and felt that he would be able to do a great and honest job.  Well, he exceeded our expectations by far.  I could go on and on about how great Carlos is and how happy we are with everything he did, however, it would take a while.

I think that if you're looking for an honest, professional who will do the best job and will leave you happy, then you should select Carlos.

We definitely have already a list of future projects that I know Carlos will be busy taking care of for us.  So, please get in line....."

Install Garbage Disposal FAQs, 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.

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.

To prevent drain clogs, perform regular maintenance and cleaning. Avoid disposing of substances like grease or coffee grounds down the sink. Additionally, installing and routinely using drain strainers can help catch debris and prevent blockages from forming.

Continuous feed garbage disposals are the favorite model for many homeowners for a reason. As opposed to batch feed models, add food scraps to the drain whenever the disposal is running. This variety is also typically less expensive, more convenient, and easier to clean.

As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with proper care and maintenance, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.
