"They came out twice, once to remove the bathroom faucet and drain line and again a few days later to reattach after another company installed a new vanity top and sink. Personable and professional guys, cleaned up the area when finished.

"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.

"I have used the Drain Co. several times. The work is always solid and reliable. They appear to have raised their prices though as last year it was $172 and this year $262 for 3 drains. The guy was here for roughly 2 hours. Last year it was 1.5 hours. I would have preferred knowing ahead of time the cost rather than being surprised by the bill, especially given that we are repeat customers and had an expectation that the cost would be equivalent to last year since our yard has not changed."

"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."

"I highly recommend Logical Rooter & Drain Cleaning Services for any plumbing needs. The company is highly ethical, offers fair pricing as well as great service. When I called, the company responded quickly to my emergency: a main line plumbing stoppage. Jose, the technician who provided the service, was not only personable, he was extremely knowledgeable and professional in handling my immediate problem. Since I have dealt with this same issue in the past, Jose also took the time to identify the cause and offer a long term solution, which I plan to do next. I saved a considerable amount of money by going with Logical Rooter & Drain Cleaning Services because they were honest and didn't insist on a service that was not needed. A++"

"After our renters moved out, we decided to do some work on our rental home but had a short time frame to find a contractor. Since this is our rental, we wanted the work to be started right away so that we could quickly find new renters to move in. We called a few referrals and contractors from Angie's List but none was available for a job within the next few weeks. Luckily, we found OMC and Tony. We scheduled a meeting within a couple of days, received a reasonable quote verbally, discussed some additions/changes and received a final quote in writing. We agreed to move forward and his team started demo started within the next couple of days!
We wanted a budget but functional and stylish remodel for the bathroom, mostly to address recurring plumbing problems in the old 1950s shower. This was our first time working with a contractor for a project this large and our first time remodeling anything, so we appreciated the guidance and recommendations on materials and vendors that we received from Tony. For example, he counseled us to use porcelain tile in the kitchen and bath floor for maximum durability, and he helped clarify which items we needed to purchase (tile, fixtures, grout, paint) vs the materials he would provide. If I were to offer any suggestions to folks remodeling their homes for the first time, it would be to identify all of those materials needed as early as possible, and buy extra -- Home Depot has a great return policy for unused materials. I ran out of the tile I purchased a couple of times, slowing down OMC's work. Luckily they were very patient and able to work on other areas of the home until my next shipments came in.
We ended up doing a full bathroom remodel, tearing out a tiny old cave-like shower and replacing it with a lighter and brighter glass-walled stall (installed separately by outside vendor). A dividing wall was cut down into a pony wall, a vent pipe moved, niches built into shower and bath walls, repiping done (hallelujah!), fixtures installed, and tile installed meticulously. We also replaced the most antique elements of the home (wallpaper, linoleum floors, dirty carpet) with newly coated/painted walls and modern flooring.
All I can say is that we now love our "new" rental home! The house is completely transformed and looks contemporary and high end. We were able to raise rent 13% after the remodel.
I've heard many horror stories about contractors over the years, so I feel lucky that my first experience in this world with Tony/OMC was a great one. I can't say enough how amazing it was working with a contractor/team that I could trust to do a solid job on every detail even when I was not around to check up on their progress each day (more like every other weekend). It was my preference to communicate with Tony mostly via text message, and I found it was very convenient to be able to receive updates and make quick decisions in this manner. When any bigger decisions were needed, he would contact me immediately and we would talk on the phone or meet at the house to look at what needed to be done. As the majority of the work wrapped up, Tony and his team were very quick to address any little details we wanted touched up or changed to perfect the work. It was such a pleasure working with him, and I would not hesitate to work with OMC again or to recommend them to my friends... in fact, I already have.

Install Garbage Disposal FAQs, answered by experts

These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.

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.

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.

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 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.
