"Great! They were unable to get all the way to the street from the catch basin. It was suggested I add a sewer clean out assure all the roots were gone and make it easier for future cleaning. This was suggested in the past, by another company , but the cost was out of sight. This company was very fair in price for both the cleaning (which included the inspection with the camera) and for the clean out installation."

"It went fine. They did a good job of working around the maze of piping under our kitchen sink, trouble shooting, and giving me clear descriptions of 2 different repair options. The repair person had some good advice regarding removing grease build
up ourselves and how to avoid clogs that may come from a garbage disposal. (I don't know if ours did.)
The only thing I didn't like was that the bill at the end seemed a little high, and they didn't include a breakdown of how they had arrived at that amount. (e.g. parts and service hourly costs. Big Deal discounts, etc.)

"Vince's foreman walked through the job's scope and his crew quickly and efficiently trenched the basement floor on the first day.  There was a miscommunication about the drain tile being a continuous circuit and the crew readily fixed the problem.  Day two was laying drain tile, weeping the cinder block and covering tile with concrete.  Initially the cinder block was not drilled twice- once through each core for weeping water- but after speaking with the foreman, he readily drilled each core. 
The crew outside paid attention to my concern that the discharge was in an aesthetically pleasing location and did a good job at preserving the lawn.  They were also kind to my garden.  With the plants they had to dig up, they did leave a nice root ball, but they did not replant the plants.  I did not realize this and one did die.
Per Vince's suggestion, our front gutter which handles the watershed for half of our house was tied into the drain tile discharge pipe.  This corrected an erosion problem plus removed more water from near our foundation. The gutter did end up at a slightly stressed angle but Vince said he would send someone by when they are next in the area and that it would be easy to correct.
Vince did recommend a basic pump back up and a more expensive NexPump back up.  We went with the more expensive Nexxt and love it.  Also the sump itself is wonderfully quiet.
After the job was completed, we did notice damp spots on the cinder block.  Vince and his warranty guy did come out and evaluate the problem.  His warranty guy reopened some weep holes which seemed blocked with silt plus caulked the plastic cove molding.  I appreciate Vince being willing to personally come back and check out his crew's work.
Reliable Basement's price was $2,000 lower than my second choice for a water proofing company.  The value for the dollar was excellent, but I did have to watch that the job was done the way we wanted.  Communication was somewhat hard since the foreman was not completely fluent in English.  However, the crew was polite, and more that willing to do what we asked.

"The coupon deal was exactly what we needed to discover the origin of a leak identified by our newly installed water meter system.  Matt and Mike were both courteous, personable and professional.  They quickly completed the inspections, determined the leak and estimated repairs.  The plus was we took them around and discussed additional plumbing projects/problems and Matt wrote up a detailed estimate for each on the spot!  Estimates are so important in planning and budgeting for all our projects.  In addition, we appreciate they are a family owned, local business.  Thank you J.Blanton Plumbing's Mike and Matt for a great experience!

"Everything went great. Having repeated back-ups in the basement I decided it was time to do something. Black Diamond came out and put a snake camera down the access pipe while I watched. I was able to see the several places where roots had become an issue in the outside pipe. After explaining my options clearly I decided to have them install an outside access pipe to get to the "root" of the problems more easily. The pricing was fair and they came out exactly when they said they would - even though the temps were around zero outside! Despite the cold the work was done pretty quickly. The only drawback is a minor one. A mound was left behind at the dig site which I was told would settle after the ground thawed and perhaps some rains. It did settle a little bit, but there is still a good sized mound of dirt in my front yard. No big deal. I have had no plumbing issues since they installed the pipe and did a proper routing of the pipes. Overall great job.

"Since this is the 1st time I change HVAC system, I spent quite of time on researching various brands and contractors. After reading consumer report, reviews in Angie's list/Yelp, and talking to friends, neighbors and colleagues, I finally decided to go with TDH Mechanical for Trane system.

The reason I selected TDH is simply: best price + best system + 12-year labor warranty. Based on consumer report, Trane is one of the top tree who has the least reported issues. And some friend highly recommend me Trane system. Then, I went to Trane's website to find TDH listed as one of the local authorized dealer and also read all their reviews on Angie's list to confirm that they could provide quality service. I thought it could be expensive, but surprisingly, their quote beat all the other contractors I've talked to. And they're the only dealer who provide 12-year labor warranty.

After the installation, I knew that I made the best decision. The technicians are very nice, polite, knowledgeable and most importantly, did a fantastic job on installing the new system. Brian, the main salesman, is also very nice and responsive. I was so happy to work with him as well during the whole process from quoting to installation."

"Installation was delayed because of weather but when the rain stopped, Tim's team had the new replacement windows done in very short order. Because of them being replacement windows they had to be trimmed out in the interior. Very good work. Mitered corners, beautiful. Finish painting completed without mess. The plaster cutting was messy but you have to expect dust. The windows are great! The insulating qualities and sound abatement make the choice a good one."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.
