"Very positive experience with Tim and his crew. We have horrible well water, and there were time constraints due to real estate purchase. Everything was done within the specified time-frame, neat and professionally. Responsive to inquiries, and helpful in educating during the process. They offer competitive pricing, and there is no pressure. You can tell that their main goal is to provide safe water to their clientele. It has been a few months since completion, and it is nice to have peace of mind that our plumbing, fixtures, and appliances are protected by some of the best equipment on the market."

"It went well! I expected it to take a long time to get it picked up, but I called for the bag to be emptied on Friday and they were here Saturday! I am already filling it up again. (We have a MESS from the storm and need to finish the kitchen before this weekend's company coming in from out of town.) I have already called them to request my bag be emptied on Friday, and they have me on the schedule! I can't believe the customer service is so great! This is not a regular dumpster company. I have a dumpster delivered last summer and they gouged my driveway. What a nightmare it was to get them to pay for the driveway to be fixed. NEVER AGAIN! It's BullBag only for our future needs."

"Liz and Al were very nice and knowledgeable about all the benefits a system like this could have. Also Fast install. I am very pleased. Definitely felt a difference right away on my hair. My hair was so dry before installing this system due to too much chlorine in my water. It’s literally like night and day now my hair never felt this soft and my skin as well. I am super happy knowing that my family is going to be drinking fresh alkaline water and that I am washing my fruits and veggies in clean water as well just a peace of mind for me."

"Troy did the work the work at a very reasonable price. He was punctual and cleaned up after himself. He also cleaned my air conditioning units filter and got it working good again. Anything I asked him to do he was more than happy to help with and I was very pleased with the service Troy provided. He even did little things like swept my porch and that was much appreciated as well and unexpected, I was pleasantly surprised."

"Mark did a fantastic job of installing the new dishwasher. I'm in a 70-year-old building, with 35-year-old kitchen counters. Getting the dishwasher to fit into the space and run properly required a lot of imagination, and Mark figured it out. He's a professional and his work is excellent. While he was working on the dishwasher, he also upgraded some of the kitchen plumbing, so now we're in great shape. He's a real professional!"

"Went very well. This work required patience and ability to adapt and update very old lighting. Fixtures dated from early 1900's.. All work was done with safety in mind. I am very pleased with that work. I will definitely use them again.

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.

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.

The most common garbage disposal size in the U.S. is 1/2 horsepower. This size is ideal for households with three or fewer people or those that don't produce much food waste. Although 1/2 horsepower can't handle the typical food waste load for a household of four (which is about 250 pounds of food waste annually) as effectively as 3/4 horsepower, it remains the most common size of garbage disposal on the market.

On average, a garbage disposal can last anywhere from 7 to 12 years, with many models functioning well for about 10 years. With heavy usage, a motor may last a minimum of five years, while grinding plates will wear down over time. It's generally a good idea to consider a replacement if your unit is approaching the 10-year mark. Other signs that it's time for a new disposal include frequent leaks, persistent clogs, lingering odors, lack of power, or unusual noises. If your unit is not that old, it's worth investigating if a less expensive part, like a rubber seal or a loose hose, is causing the issue.

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.
