"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.

"Mike and Matt were great, they were skilled, efficient, and friendly. I thought replacing an under-mount stainless steel sink in an existing granite cutout would be very difficult at best. I knew replacing the faucet and disposal would be a routine job. I was pleasantly surprised that the entire job went fine and they were finished in 2.5 hours. They cleaned up the work area and hauled away the old sink, etc. I will say that their prices are high, but I was willing to pay for quality work, especially with the tricky sink replacement."

"It worked wonderful for us. I didn't have to pay anything extra. Because they were so good with the installation and great to work with, a couple of weeks ago, I just had someone else from Black Diamond over here to sign up an annual contract with them."

"During the major rainstorms we?ve been having, the drains in the basement (both in the laundry room and the shower) backed up. We mopped up the water and cleaned. After that, though, there was frequently a rotten egg/sewer smell coming from the drain. I did some research on Angie?s List and called DinoSewer. When I set the appointment on the phone, Gary asked me when the last time was that the lines had been rodded. The house was built in 1948. I bought it in December 2009. My guess was that the last clean-out was closer to 1948 than 2009. He told me he would rod and run tv camera through the line so we could see what was going on. They were unable to rod all the way to the street due to misaligned/damaged pipes. Gary proposed that they excavate down to the sewer line in the front yard and put in a local access. Then have the inspector come out to approve the work and be on hand to run the tv camera to the street. That way, if there was damage on the street side, the inspector would see it first hand and city would be responsible for those repairs. The contract was drawn up to ?install proper cleanout access in front yard. Dig down to main line, remove misaligned/damaged sections of pipe. Install sanitary tee, pipe and riser, bed all pipework in stone after making proper connections?.once complete, rod and camera remaining line for further problems or defects.? He was clear that they wouldn?t do landscaping at the end and that we would have to keep saturating the resulting dirt pile until it settled. He put in writing a 10 year warranty on the pipework and a 2 year warranty on the rodding. Done. He also replaced a leaky faucet in the basement bathroom (took out the old, went out and bought and installed a new one). The total price (above) included $235.00 for the new faucet. Everything done according to agreement. The entire project took about three days (from the initial attempt at rodding). Haven?t had any back up since even though we?ve had several more rainstorms. There was a rotten egg smell after one of the storms and I called. Gary came right out. We had already plugged the drain (rubber drain stopper) and, frankly, it was working just fine. He gave some suggestions that sounded like more than I wanted to get into. We agreed that, as long as the plug was working, why not? He didn't try to pressure me into any other work. The dirt pile outside is gradually settling (saturate and hoe dirt clumps to encourage gravity to do its work). Very happy with the results and will use DinoSewer for future plumbing work."

"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

When a dishwasher discharges its wastewater, it uses a pump to quickly move a lot of water. If anything in the drain line or the garbage disposal impedes the high volume of water, it will back up into the sink through the drain or the garbage disposal. Following regular dishwasher maintenance tips like clearing clogs, keeping them cleared, and occasionally running the disposal will eliminate the problem.

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. 

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.

No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.

However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.

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.
