"Miller and his colleagues were able to do a lot of things quickly. Along with everything else, they also grabbed some old furniture that I needed help moving to the curb. They took several cares to make sure nothing was damaged during the move, including wrapping the furniture, turning off all the lights, and packaging the picture frames."

"Excellent work. He and his helper arrived when he said he would and completed the difficult job promptly and professionally. He went beyond my expectations, clearing about 20 feet on either side of the very long driveway and beyond. The cost was reasonable, and they were very pleasant to work with. Will hire again!"

"Concrete Unlimited installed a septic tank and septic bed, trenched and installed a long water line, removed and hauled stumps, made log decks, cleared slash, graded and prepped our cabin site, artfully placed rocks and boulders that were uncovered in the process. Our remote lot had many constraints and he navigated through them beautifully -- and on time. My husband has seen heavy landmoving equipment operated by many people during his career and interacted with many companies on projects. Following the Carr and Dixie fires, where we lost our home and our family cabin, we again saw how various contractors approached and completed projects throughout our neighborhoods. Jesse Gorbet, Concrete Unlimited, and his crew are among the very best we've seen. Deft, nuanced, insightful, graceful, and considerate are not adjectives that normally come to mind with these types of projects but they do here. He was refreshingly excellent in communication, keeping us up to date, suggesting ways to save money and also setting up the project to make it easier for building in the future. Jesse was an absolute pleasure to work with, an unexpected gift. To have one contractor work with us to handle all these tasks themselves, and so professionally, was stress free. We highly recommend him."

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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 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. 

No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.

However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.
