Do you need a garbage disposal for a dishwasher?

• <div><p>Many homeowners wonder<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garbage-disposal-necessary-dishwasher.htm"> if a garbage disposal is necessary with a dishwasher</a>. After all, many dishwashers are powerful enough to handle bits of food with no issues. </p><p>Still, your dishwasher should not act as a replacement for a disposal. Subjecting your dishwasher to continuous leftovers could lead to major clogs. If you don’t want a garbage disposal in your kitchen, simply scrape away any extra food into your trash can or compost pile.</p></div>

Do garbage disposals unscrew?

• <div><p>These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garbage-disposal-repair-and-replacement.htm">when you replace your garbage disposal</a>. 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.</p></div>

Is a garbage disposal worth it?

• <div><p>If you cook a lot or have a larger household, a garbage disposal can be worth it, since it streamlines your kitchen duties and helps to keep food waste out of landfills. It helps to know the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-garbage-disposal.htm">cost of garbage disposal installation</a> before you make your decision.

These people are scammers. Quoted $55k to replace the pipes in the house and insurance declined. Then quoted $18k to locate leak and repair by tearing up floors and walls. Insurance approved $12k and we were on the hook for $6k. They came out to detect the areas for the leak. The day they came...

Service and quality of the repairs were excellent. Thought the price was high though. Don't do this often but $450 to repair two sliders seems like a lot to me. They did provide estimates before performing the work though, so we knew what we were getting in to. And they do know what they're...
