Q: Is fixing a leaking garbage disposal worth it?

• <div><p>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.

Q: Why does my dishwasher water come up into the sink?

Peter and his crew did a great job clearing pine cones, needles, branches, and trimming trees/bushes for defensible space/fire code compliance around my property in Lake Tahoe. They were friendly and professional. I would definitely hire them again in the future!
