"Armando and his team were great, I was looking for someone to help diagnose a problem with my refrigerator and they contacted me and came to my house the same day to fix the problem. Armando also worked with me to offer the service at a reasonable price which was much appreciated. I will definitely look to Fix It Quick for any other plumbing needs I have in the future, and would recommend them to anyone else looking for this service."
"I start having problems with my main drain backing up. I called IRC plumbing Inc. and they came almost immediately, they got the job done and their pricing was very reasonable."
"Excellent Service from planning through Execution and installation to final fine tuning. The folks communicated well and explained every detail of the step. Got permit and inspection done. It was seamless. Thanks. R."
"Generally, it went well. I was told exactly what they were going to do before they did the work. The first day, I was taken aback at the price of the work, I assumed the original request would not be such an ordeal, so they allowed me time to consider the work and price while they fixed the toilet. I did decide to go ahead with Top Contender, and I am glad I did. They opened up the wall opposite the faucet, shower head, etc, and found rotten wood, which they replaced, cut away old pipes that were causing electrolysis, reinforced the pipes with staples(not sure of the technical terms), and patched up their work after replacing the shower head, faucet and spout. They were thorough. I had to add additional work to the kitchen faucet problem after cleaning under the sink and notice a crack on the pipe and ask if they would replace it after they fixed the faucet. The issue with the faucet was that it looked like it should have been stuck in the wall a lot further. I wanted to add tile on the wall behind the sink and the faucet stuck out of the wall. The exposed section was covered nicely and I am able to slide the piece, install the tile, and slide the piece back to the wall - problem solved. They did remove the plumbing underneath the sink with new, ABS p-trap assembly. Before they worked in the bathroom, they papered the floor from the front door through the bathroom, used any parts I had on hand, and aired out the bathroom during the entire time. They did clean up, better than most.. not perfect (but I would only notice that).."
""One Water" employees are professional and courteous. System was installed in a few hours. It's been 2 weeks since we got the unit installed and we are happy with the quality of water that we are now able to get from every faucet in the house."
"I bought the big deal for three men for two hours for $149 - a steal in any situation. Alex then charged $80 for use of the truck. Despite horrendous traffic, the three personable young men efficiently cleared out a storage unit, loaded the truck and off-loaded everything in good shape and accessible. They followed my directions, made suggestions of their own and everything worked out well for all. "
"It's Christmas day and our kitchen drain is plugged up. What to do? Get on Angies List and look up and quot;plumbers-drain cleaningand quot;. There on the front page is listed (among others) The Drain Company. Highly rated, and a local business in Northridge. (Always like to support local businesses) I check out their prices and note that since it's a holiday, I'll be facing double time charges. But a sink full of dirty dishes says to bite the bullet. Hopefully it won't take too long. (I wonder just what it was that my wife put down the disposal that is causing the problem. Looked like potato debris when I tried to clear the drain with a plumber's helper)
I call The Drain Co and speak with Star, who is a very pleasant person, and tells me she can have a drain tech to my house in an hour, and reminds me about the holiday rate. We set-up the appointment and my wife smiles for the first time today. The tech, Ken, is about an hour late, but explains that he is very busy today. and quot;So what did your wife put down the disposal?and quot; asks Ken, and quot;Potatoes?and quot; Surprised he nailed it on the first guess, I have to ask, and quot;How'd you know?and quot; and quot;Oh, just you and about a million others,and quot; Ken informs me with a smile. My wife is off the hook. Ken gets right to work, and in less than fifteen minutes, he has the drain running free and has even cleaned up the sink area. and quot;This is the easiest one I've done today,and quot; says Ken. Wow. I'm impressed. Worth the holiday rate, but here's another surprise; Ken only charges me the standard fifty-five dollars. I figure maybe it's because it was so easy. Hey, am I going to argue? Not long after Ken leaves, the phone rings. It's Star, informing me that Ken forgot about the holiday rate, but not to worry, the company is standing behind the price he quoted. Well, now I am really impressed. Nice people, good job, and fair-minded - what's not to like?
If you have a problem with your drains, I can strongly recommend the folks at The Drain Company. I think you will be pleased with the experience. And remind your wife to run the water after the disposal does its job to carry the debris out to the main drain."
"Art was extremely helpful and accommodating at every step of the project, from bidding through scheduling and even some additional work we needed a few weeks later. The team worked efficiently, doing a new main line install (going under our sidewalk and concrete without any demolition), re-piped the horizontal pipes under the house with copper (they were 100 year old galvanized), and setup a new shut off and regulator outside. They did everything in a day and cleaned up nicely. When we had other contractors working on our foundation 2 weeks later, they bent over backwards to get plumbers out the next day to make some fixes to drain pipe and at an excellent price. I got quotes from three companies and Repipe Pro was the most competitive and also great responsiveness from Art and his wife Thelma who run the business. To anyone looking for a repipe of a home or new main line or having drain work done, I definitely recommend contacting Art at Repipe Pro."
"Juan did his best to clear the drain with his snake, but that didn't work. He worked very hard in the cold and approaching darkness until he cleared it with a high-pressure water device. He checked the work (and showed us) with a video camera snake, which revealed a break in our pipe and some tree roots that could be problematic in the future. We were pleased with his proficiency and the care he took to ensure that his work was safe for us and our property. We would definitely hire him again."
"Johnny did a terrific job. He was on time, kept us informed of what needed to be done and what our options were. And we now have heat! Highly recommend him and Canoga Park Heating & Air Conditioning!"
Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts
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.
Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.
You may be able to install a garbage disposal on your own, especially if you're handy or have some experience with plumbing. However, if you have any concerns or want to make absolutely sure that the connections are installed correctly, you may be better off hiring a local garbage disposal installer to do the job.
It’s one thing that helps, alongside vinegar and baking soda. Ice acts as an exfoliant, helping to lift off any bits of food stuck on the disposal blades.
Your garbage disposal is not draining because it might have a clog due to food waste, a foreign object, grease, oil, fat, or it may have a broken motor. When water doesn't flush out of the disposal, that's a key sign that your disposal has a clog or needs repair.
