"I needed to have the gas valve for kitchen stove replaced. Felix had his brother come over that afternoon. He called the company who was going to install the new stove to ensure he put the correct valve in. Excellent service."

"I am the luckiest customer in the world to have hired the best plumber in the world to fix a sudden water torrent leak from my garbage disposal. That's how I felt after the outstanding job that he did. Jose Hernandez of Smart Choice Plumbing & Rooter, Inc., in my estimation, has perfected the art of plumbing. He is super knowledgeable, competent, highly organized, and ultra kind. His best is the very best and if you like, he'll explain the process as he goes along. He knows his stuff very well! He did a beautiful job replacing my suddenly broken garbage disposal and also my kitchen faucet which I couldn't turn right or left for the last 5 years. He was so careful with each step he took, including using his strong water extractor which he brought with him just in case to remove as much water as possible under the sink's flooded area. This made for a much better working space under the sink, as well as taking loads of dirty leftover water filled with the floating white based peeling paint from the floor of the cupboard coming loose from the wetness from the sudden leak. Just watching the care he put into each step was amazing. Each step built upon the next, and before I knew it, he had that under-sink cupboard rid of all the loose peeling paint and dirty water and looking so much safer and well-managed again, with the new kitchen faucet and garbage disposal installed perfectly, as well. I am so impressed with the great INTEGRITY this man has in every big or little step in the process the job called for. You rarely see that honorable type of commitment anymore, and it is such a gift to be the recipient of a truly honorable professional who literally takes his job to heart. Jose came in his wonderful truck that always contains several items of everything that he might need to use for many different projects needing to be fixed, replaced, or restored, so he rarely has to stop what he's doing in order to go get one or two special parts. This makes the job take less time in the long run because he has what he needs. And when he says he'll come back tomorrow, he comes back tomorrow. Jose Hernandez is a man who keeps his word and who always finishes the job successfully, no matter how complicated some jobs may be. I have told my neighbors and friends that when they have need for a plumber, go no further than calling Jose Hernandez. He will make you feel so safe as you watch the meticulous way he works, while always keeping calm throughout each job, and informing you of what he is doing. He is conscientious to a "T" and he leaves everything neater than when he came! In my experience and estimation, Jose Hernandez is OUTSTANDING in his profession and I would recommend him every time, even to the Queen of England!! His standards and integrity are amazing and the BEST. He is a man of his word, and he takes ownership of the responsibility of giving his ALL to every commitment he makes. I feel so lucky to be one of his customers. I think you will be, as well. * Jose Hernandez's Company: SMART CHOICE Plumbing & Rooter."

"The job was done quickly. The plumber installed a new garbage disposal, fixed the sink faucet issue another plumber said was unfixable, and repaired a toilet. He was polite, efficient and cleaned up after himself thoroughly."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, 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.

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.

While the drain connection for a garbage disposal is nearly universal and fits standard sink drain holes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, the size of the disposal unit itself is not. You must have enough space in the cabinet underneath your sink to accommodate the disposal's housing. A larger model may not fit in a compact cabinet or if the existing plumbing is arranged in an unusual way. Before buying a new garbage disposal, measure the available space under your sink. If you are replacing an old unit, it's often easiest to choose a new model of a similar size.

Never put glass in the garbage disposal. It can damage your disposal or eject shards of glass out of the disposal and cause injury. If you get broken glass in your garbage disposal, turn it off and cut the power from the breaker, use a tool like pliers or tongs to remove the glass, and use a wet-dry vacuum to remove the remaining glass pieces. If you can’t access the disposal safely, call a garbage disposal repair pro.

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.
