"I called them at around noon. They returned my call in few minutes and informed me they will come after they finished the 2 jobs the had that afternoon. They came around 45 minutes late because of the traffic around 6:00 pm. I am actually glad they came. They were very polite an professional and explained to me that previous repaired was not done correctly and the wrong kind of pipe was used. Metal residues or what looked like it were build up.. The cleared the clog and replaced the valve of the sewer outlet.. He explained to me the sewer outlet was very old and there were lots of derbies from deterioration residues.. They replaced the part which is outside the wall. The had to go to store to get the right size valve. They were very clean. I am happy for the work. He gave me advice what not to put in the garbage disposal and explained the plumbing of my house to me. The whole job did not take very long. I definitely would use their service again."

"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."

"Canoga Park HVAC is exceptional. I had interviewed 3 other companies that gave me conflicting information. When Dave Shrode came out, he reviewed the proposals and explained what was and was not needed to be done, and why. He is extremely knowledgeable.. He oversaw the installation and followed up afterward. I have referred CPHtg&Air to my son who had a serious problem on a 3 yr old unit' Dave and the well trained tech team diagnosed and solved it. It is unusual to find a company cares greatly about their customers, I an extremely satisfied with my choice."

"I cannot say enough good things about Tony and his crew and the quality work they performed for me. I bought a condo with two 25-year old bathrooms, and wanted to replace the tubs, showers, fixtures, cabinets, toilets and floor tiles and repaint each one. I consulted with Tony about what could be done and both turned out great! Tony and OM Construction's tradesmen were professional, efficient, clean and responsive to minor changes or things that I wanted to do that wouldn't work because of the particular building (i.e. slab floor that prevented a walk-in shower because of existing plumbing that could not be re-configured or changed without significant work or cost). I will use OM Construction again with a rental property I own, and will heartily recommend them to friends."

"Went great as explained. Prescilla promptly send me a quote and we went over the numbers and the details of the work via the phone, she answered all my questions and concerns . Meanwhile, Chris and his assistant showed up on time and started setting up quickly. My walls and flood dried out within 48 hours. Chris and his assistant both removed the equipment and all the plastic and material really quickly. they worked really hard to save my floors and walls from being demolished and needing replacement, which was accomplished at the end. I'm really greatful and will definitely recommend them to friends and family."

"Excellent: Joe came to our house promptly, and we told him that a realtor commented to us that our popcorn ceiling would turn away many prospective buyers. He reviewed our house and advised us to forgo doing the ceiling because houses in our neighborhood are in great demand and the cost and inconvenience would not warrant upgrading the ceilings at this time. We greatly appreciate his honesty and professionalism. Thumbs up for Kincaid Dev Inc."

Install Garbage Disposal FAQs, 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.

Replacing a garbage disposal costs anywhere from $150 to $950, but the average cost is somewhere around $550. There are two types of garbage disposal units, and continuous feed disposals tend to cost more than batch feed disposals. Going for an aluminum garbage disposal is also significantly cheaper than choosing a stainless steel garbage disposal. You'll also need to factor in the horsepower of the motor, labor, and the removal and disposal of your old unit.

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. 

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.

To prevent drain clogs, perform regular maintenance and cleaning. Avoid disposing of substances like grease or coffee grounds down the sink. Additionally, installing and routinely using drain strainers can help catch debris and prevent blockages from forming.
