What is the main problem that happens to garbage disposals?

• <div><p>The main issue with garbage disposals is clogging. This can mean a clogging of the pipes that expel the food along with water, or a clogging of the mechanical parts themselves. The problem lies in the solution because you can’t easily see clogs if they’re inside the system, and reaching in to dislodge stuck items is a risky proposal. Call a pro and ask what they would do, but if you can’t see the clog easily, and running the unit won’t free it, you need to let a professional handle the fix. </p></div>

Do garbage disposals unscrew?

• <div><p>These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garbage-disposal-repair-and-replacement.htm">when you replace your garbage disposal</a>. 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.</p></div>

Marco is professional and responsive, and his work is very good. WE hired Penagos Painting to completely repaint the interior of a house and its garage that we had just purchased. They did a really good job covering the awful paint on our textured walls, and repainted the trim and doors in...

They did an excellent job. Had to have a couple things repaired that was caught in the home inspection. The job was quick. The cost could always be cheaper but I was only charged a service call.

What really sold me on this shop was the courtesy I was given by the employee's. I did not talk to the repair man until the next day. What blew me away that they did not charge for the service. I will take the machine back if I have any problems. I will also delight in shopping at this store.
