"Hiring Hunter with Hometown Haulers was the best decision we made to help with an extremely difficult and stressful situation. He is a great communicator and prompt responder. He showed up when he said he would, which is a rarity these days. He showed nothing but kindness and professionalism. If you’re looking for a dumpster rental/junk hauling, do yourself a favor and contact Hunter at Hometown Haulers!"

My name is Jimmy.\nI take pride in the lawn service I provide and have exceeded the basic expectations of what normal lawn crews provide customers. I've been known on clients properties not only when I show up but even more when I didn't show up with the previous lawn crew I was working for as a supervisor. Now I have started my own and look forward to have everyone grow with me.\n

"I would highly recommend Kershner Trucking for any moving or hauling needs you may have. Excellent service, timeliness, and professionalism. Moving out of my apartment was a task I dreaded doing, but Kershner Trucking made this process simple, efficient, and took a major load off of my shoulders. Outstanding business and I plan to hire services from this company again in the near future."

"These guys were great!! We had a delivery of a massive new front, all in one piece, very heavy. They handled it of total care and stored it in our garage with all the very long trim pieces for installation next day. Kind of an unusual item to deliver so was concerned about the glass, scratching, damage. Again, 5-star handling and very pleased!!"

"When I first called for an estimate, Doug quickly responded and came to my house.  He told me he would get to it "this week".  He and his crew finally showed up almost 2 weeks later - with no communication in the interim.  The crew used a bucket truck as we had discussed - accessing the 3 trees from my neighbors yard as we had agreed.  I began to get a little concerned when I realized they were not using plywood to protect at least where the truck stabilizers were set (another service I've used uses plywood extensively to guard against yard damage; of course, they charge more).  I also was somewhat concerned when they began dropping large branches that often hit my shrubbery.  The shrubs came out reasonably intact, but the holes in the ground from the stabilizers and truck tires will have to be repaired (by me).  They also dropped a large limb on my birdhouse - breaking its back mounting board in half (no offer to fix, etc.).  They sliced through a water hose with the chain saw.  Then when they moved the truck to my driveway to get the large limb, they crushed the drainage inlet at the street, which will require the city to completely replace it.  If they had backed in the way the driveway curves to the street, there would not have been any problem getting to the limb.  Although I saw them driving off the inlet on their first failed attempt to back in the wrong way, I didn't see the damage until they had left.  But I'm sure it was obvious to the guy guiding the truck backwards.  They never mentioned what they had done to me.  All in all, it certainly wasn't worth the savings using this service.  I'll go back to the careful guys next time."

Garbage Collection FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Continuous feed garbage disposals are the favorite model for many homeowners for a reason. As opposed to batch feed models, add food scraps to the drain whenever the disposal is running. This variety is also typically less expensive, more convenient, and easier to clean.

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.

These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly when you replace your garbage disposal. Make sure you shut the power off to the area first and check that it’s off with a voltage detector. Disconnect the main drain line and P-trap, and then disconnect the dishwasher drain line if you have one connected. You can then unscrew your garbage disposal using a disposal wrench. Just make sure you disconnect the electrical lines before removing your appliance.

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. When deciding if you should repair or replace your garbage disposal, consider the age of your garbage disposal, the cost of the repair, and whether your garbage disposal has had other problems recently to help you decide if the cost of repairing the leak is better than the cost of replacing the disposal.
