"Installation went smoothly. I've had the system for about 5 years and I recommend it highly. The water tastes great. We don't buy water anymore. Our pipes are protected from mineral buildup. Very pleased with our purchase."

"Frankie did a great job. He made over a 1-hour free inspection before coming back to do the work. He found and repaired a water leak without the costly troubleshooting that other plumbers want you to pay for. He installed a new kitchen faucet and replaced the associated plumbing with more reliable connections. He installed a new Moen shut off and leak detector and redid all of the associated plumbing. He pointed out the poor job my Home Warranty plumber did on the water heater installation (poor soldering, water leak, chamber on wrong water line.)"

"I was not at home for about three weeks, and after returning, I found a drainage problem in my kitchen. I was quite anxious because this was my first time dealing with clogged sinks. I got a suggestion from my close friend, and according to their recommendation, I called for a hometown restoration in need of a plumber for the next day. A great technician came on the next day at the right time and started working with diligence. He was the friendliest, funniest, and the most hardworking guy I've ever met when looking for house repair services. He encountered difficulties with the pipes at first and was eventually able to remove the blockage. He also stopped for a while after repairing the issue to ensure that the dishwasher and waste disposal worked better. Cheaper price than the other plumbing companies, so highly recommended!"

"First, Flood Doctor is the most professional and accomplished company I have ever dealt with in my 68 years. Starting with the owner Nathan Suazo, Jack his lead assistant, and then down to all his other workers, there is an extremely obvious desire for their work to be the best and completely satisfy the customer. I have never seen such passion to do outstanding work!! For example, his painter painted a room and it looked fine to us. Mr. Suazo came by and made the painter return to get the room perfect. They are so trustworthy that we allowed them to put the house on a lock box and have free run of the house when we were away for several days. I can tell you that I am extremely paranoid about those things and basically trust virtually no one outside of my family. Their work was timely and Mr. Suazo went out of his way to help so many times that I lost count. Several examples are: coming to the house when the insurance adjuster came out to ensure that the adjuster gave us fair and complete compensation for all repairs; installing new door handles and lighting plates at no charge for labor when he noticed they were old or tarnished; bringing tile samples to us several times and then going to a show room to help us select new tile; and many other extra efforts too numerous to list. Bottom line: I give this company the highest recommendation possible"

"The service was a little rough around the edges. The technician who came out it was his first day on the job. He installed a couple of the screens incorrectly. We called them back and they sent him back out to properly install the screens."

"Manny and his team were absolutely AMAZING! After paying for a bad tile job I contacted Manny to see if miracles could be performed in the small time-frame I had to get my bathroom fixed and perform a miracle they did! In just 2+ days Manny and his team completely retiled my bathroom floor, fixed a broken toilet flange, reinstalled the toilet, installed a new bathroom vanity, removed & replaced/re-wired for a new bathroom exhaust vent and re-hung my bathroom light the correct way. I am very grateful that he took on such a hefty task with such short notice. I would definitely hire him and his team again."
This is the type of quality workmanship that we do. Look at the next images to see our process.
After much work, this is how our subflooring repair and tile job came out. The next photos show the process of how much work went into this job. Enjoy!
At this stage we laid out the studs per plan and were ready to start building the first wall.
The old stained sink and faucet had to go.
After removing the old toilet, I saw that the flange had a piece broken where the seating screw is attached. This had to be fixed before installing the new toilet. These are items that are not visible when you give a bid.

Install Garbage Disposal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Whether it's worth repairing your garbage disposal depends on its age and the specific problem. Generally, if the unit is eight years old or younger, repair is a good option. For minor issues like a bad seal or a simple jam, a repair can be inexpensive, sometimes under $10. However, if the motor is broken (a repair that can cost $150 or more) or the unit is getting old, it's often more cost-effective to replace the entire disposal.

There are many maintenance and repair issues that lead to a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Regular clogs place wear and tear on the motors, leading to an eventual shutdown. Electrical issues at the breaker, wall outlet, or disposal itself can fry the unit. The most common cause is simply a worn-down motor. These motors can only handle so much use before powering down for good. 

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.

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.
