"Plumbing problems can be a nightmare so having a reliable, trustworthy, honest, professional, and very competent plumber to assist you is of paramount value. We were kind of painted into a corner and need to have almost all of our sink and toilet shut off valves replaced (as in 17 of them) to satisfy the needs of a 4-point inspection and Dave (and Alyx) not only took care of every one of them, but they also fixed a toilet and did an emergency installation of a new kitchen sink spigot (and stayed over an extra hour to get it done). Dave was up front with his quote, he demonstrated a clear understanding of what I was asking for as well as what I really needed, he explained what needed to be done and why, and he delivered on time with quality parts and professional service. Our two dogs loved Dave and Alyx and they were very easy to work with - Dave took the time to listen to me which I really appreciated. My wife and I quickly trusted Dave and he delivered on time and even a bit under the final budget which left me room for a small tip. Dave knows his stuff and can handle both simple and complex issues, he is professional and thorough, and he tells it like it is in a calm and logical manner. I went in thinking a cleanup would suffice but Dave explained why we needed to replace most of the valves and it made sense to pay a little more to get a lot more in return thus maximizing the overall value to the customer. Hence, the expense that we dreaded became an investment in the home that we so love. The fact that they stayed over to fix a different problem (Kitchen faucet) demonstrates their commitment to the customer and the very professional manner in which they notify you, keep you informed, invoice you, and bill you gives you the feel of dealing with a big company with the benefit of dealing directly with a consummate professional! I give Dave's Plumbing and Drian Cleaning the highest rating and I have complete confidence in them - they most certainly will be our first call for any future plumbing related issue!"

"Drain Mechanics did an awesome job with my condo water shutoffs and toilet replacements. They took care of all the HOA paperwork and where able to get us scheduled quickly. Jose did a great job overcoming the many obstacles that this old building threw at him and got the job done. I would highly recommend Drain Mechanics"

"I recently hired All Round Repair for plumbing services, which included removing and installing three toilets, replacing three valves/ supply lines, and unclogging a sink using hydrojetting. My experience was awesome from start to finish. The team of four professionals was not only skilled and efficient but also incredibly friendly and respectful of my home. They took care to minimize mess and ensured everything was cleaned up after the work was completed. Their commitment to doing the job right was appreciated. I recommend All Round Repair to anyone in need of plumbing services or an assessment. During my service they found mold under the kitchen sink and a rusted garbage disposal. I plan to reach out to the team again to repair under the sink. Itâ s rare to find a team that combines technical expertise with such great customer service. If you are a senior or military personnel ask about a discount during your service."

"Matt and son Matt replaced my kitchen sink, faucet and disposal. They were timely, personable, professional, knowledgeable, and answered all my questions. I love the results and will definitely call them again if the need arises. Will certainly recommend to friends, as it is difficult to find good tradespeople like Treasure Coast Plumbing. Thank You!"

"We had an issue with a leaking toilet, called up, given a 2-hour time window same day in 2 hour at no extra charge. One problem led to another and they remained until the job was completed. Turned out to be an all day job. Ann, Gage and Ed were very knowledgeable, and professional. I would recommend them to anyone. Their work was exceptional and the final price was reasonable. I will not hesitate to call them again for any of the plumbing issues. Very, very, happy with them!"

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

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.

In some cases, it’s more cost-effective in the long run to replace a garbage disposal, but it depends on the specific issue you’re having and the age of your disposal. You should ask a garbage disposal repair tech for a quote to repair your appliance and then see if it would be more worthwhile to replace it. Additionally, garbage disposals last for around 15 years, so if you know your appliance is reaching that age, it’s likely better to pay for a new garbage disposal rather than sink money into repairs.

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.

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.

Replacing a garbage disposal costs anywhere from $150 to $950, but the average cost is somewhere around $550. There are two types of garbage disposal units, and continuous feed disposals tend to cost more than batch feed disposals. Going for an aluminum garbage disposal is also significantly cheaper than choosing a stainless steel garbage disposal. You'll also need to factor in the horsepower of the motor, labor, and the removal and disposal of your old unit.
