"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."

"After clearing the clog, they explained to me that everything - the toilet, the tub and the sink are all going through the same drain and recommend that each drain be separated to the main drain from the house. I agreed (it was about time). So, they went to work on rearranging the draining system."

"I bought a Big Deal for 3 men for 2 hours with a moving truck for under $200. I had everything very prepared, furniture was empty & clean, drawers removed, ready to go. They wrapped all furniture with packing blankets & my super large mirror with bubble wrap & packing blankets. Alex & one other man packed, drove, unpacked everything in just over the alotted time, but didn't charge me extra. They were great...punctual, fast, efficient, neat and very personable. I will definitely use them again. Very pleasant experience!

"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."

"Tito was referred to us by our contractor and it was a pleasure working with him! We needed an extension for our shower valve. The entire process was smooth and stress-free. The communication was EXCELLENT (I can't emphasize this enough!) and we were kept up to date throughout the entire process--we were able to text which was so convenient. While he was here, he explained everything clearly, showed me the issue, and how he would be able to fix it. I also really appreciated that when he arrived and saw I had a mask on, he immediately offered to put a mask on without me having to ask. For people who live with someone who is immunocompromised or feel more comfortable masking, you can feel safe and comfortable while Tito is working in your home. Tito is professional, friendly, honest, knowledgeable, and detailed. I highly recommend his services and will definitely call him in the future if we need his expertise and help!"

Install Garbage Disposal FAQs, answered by experts

Most garbage disposals have a reset button that can be triggered with a tool as simple and accessible as your index finger. That said, if you need to perform a more in-depth troubleshooting step, like manually moving the arms inside the unit or rotating the impeller plate, a hex wrench is the most common tool you’ll need. Most garbage disposals come with a hex wrench.

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 the cost of repairing a leaking garbage disposal is close to the cost of replacing the disposal, then fixing the unit might not make sense. When deciding if you should repair or replace your garbage disposal, consider the age of your garbage disposal, the cost of the repair, and whether your garbage disposal has had other problems recently to help you decide if the cost of repairing the leak is better than the cost of replacing the disposal.

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.

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.
