"Kevin the owner came with one of his plumbers and they immediately got busy doing the job of getting on the roof to snake out the main sewer drain and also took a video at no extra charge. The price was exactly as quoted and he even installed a replacement garbage disposal air switch (which we had a new one ready to my husband to fix) at no extra charge. He is efficient, personable, knowledgable with 20 years in the business, and reasonably priced. Can you ask for more! I have never met him before and found him on Angies list, I am very pleased that I did-I think you will be too."

"They came out right away and explained what the issue was so we decided to take the package to have all lines cleaned. They work professionally and everything was working when they finished. They gave us warranty on the job and the plumber also cleaned up after he was done. I would highly recommend them a and I will continue to use them."

"We dealt directly with Steve. He 100% knows what he's doing. The city hires him for all kinds of things. We checked out quite a few competitors for water softener prices. Really no comparison. We ended up buying a water softener on Craig's List and then purchased the whole house filtration. Steve exceeded our expectations on the installation. YES I would use him again. Very knowledgable and competitive pricing."

"They were fast, professional and efficient. We had an emergency and they replaced our p-trap and sewer line. The crisis was resolved the same day we called. They dug under the house, removed and replaced the existing pavers as if it was never disturbed. Their communication was constant and reliable. Highly recommended!"

"John was excellent. I've had a similar issue in the past and though the problem was the main drain leading from the house to the sewer. John was good enough to address this first but quickly determined this was not the issue. He checked the master bath drain and sure enough, my wife's hair had clogged it up. He snaked the drain and all was back to normal. John could have easily charged me for the extra time and effort, but was very gracious to charge only what he quoted - even after I offered to pay him for the additional work. A true professional, knows his business and would hire again. In fact I have his card on file and have shared his info with my Homeowners Association - he's that good. BTW - he A LO more reasonably priced that his competitors and Roto Rooter who just charge excessively ."

"When I tried to remove a stuck anti-siphon adapter from my outdoor faucet, the entire copper pipe broke at the stucco wall. I called 24/7 Plumbing and John showed up in less than 30 minutes from my call. He did exactly what he said he would do, and fixed not only the pipe but also installed a new faucet for me, all for a very reasonable price. I wish all contractors I deal with were as professional, competent and trustworthy as John!"

"Tom once again on time and NO problems and confusion like the companies in his field.  He had the tools, was prepared and very professional.  He even when above and beyond  at the last minute  when I asked him to help me cut pieces for a cabinet. He  explained to me how to do it and he actually did it for me. That was nice don't you think?  I appreciate that. Much success to you Tom, you are one of a kind."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, 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.

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.

On average, it takes one to four hours for a professional to install a garbage disposal. This includes removing the old unit, taking necessary measurements for positioning, removing and fitting new pipes, and installing the brand-new disposal system. If there are unforeseen issues, such as accessibility concerns, the process takes longer.

Once you have your garbage disposal disconnected, you can remove the mounting bracket by unscrewing the bolts that are holding the bracket. You can back them out just enough to pop off the snap ring, which prevents the bottom portion of the bracket from disconnecting from the top when you unscrew the bolts. Use a regular screwdriver to pop off the snap ring, and the rest of the components should fall off by themselves.

There are many maintenance and repair issues that lead to a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Regular clogs place wear and tear on the motors, leading to an eventual shutdown. Electrical issues at the breaker, wall outlet, or disposal itself can fry the unit. The most common cause is simply a worn-down motor. These motors can only handle so much use before powering down for good.
