"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."
"They had great customer service. They came over in the 2 hour window given. They called before arrival or that they were on their way. The only concern I had was that they were going to leave the tree roots on my front lawn but I brought out the garbage can for them to dispose."
"Sales representative met with me to understand needs. Sketch and estimate was written up on site and proposal sent via email. Comments to proposal and sketch were picked up quickly. Install crew hoped to do install in one day - but it took two. The install crew was pleasant and worked with me to review on going installation. If you need to hire someone to help keep water away from home and away from basement this is a good company to hire."
"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."

"Black Diamond recently came out to do a competitive bid on installing a cleanout line, then doing a hydro jet and descale of the main sewer line in question. On top of being a few hundred dollars cheaper than the original bidder, they found that the original bidder had broken the flange on the toilet when they put it back on and overtightened it. Throughout the process everyone I dealt with was professional, easy to work with, and answered all of my questions. All of that would have been enough for a 5 star review; however, when they got here on the day of the job and went to locate the exact dig space for the line, they found I ALREADY HAD A CLEANOUT LINE (previously most of the estimates had been in ranges based on the original bidder's insistence that this job had to be done, but as it turns out it didn't). That saved me $4,500 on the job, which is pretty awesome! I'm using them for all of our plumbing needs moving forward."
"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."
"I had managed to completely block my kitchen sink/garbage disposal on Saturday afternoon at 3 pm. Plus we were having a party the next day. I called Derek and he came out within an hour and unplugged it for us. A really nice and professional guy. I now have a plumber for life!! "
"Excellent prompt affordable service. I was contacted directly by Patrick, the owner, over the holiday weekend. He quickly scheduled an appointment for Tuesday after the long weekend. Once he assessed the work needed, he got me a great price. By Wednesday morning, he and his team had installed a new garbage disposal and new toilet. All the work was done quickly and while I was at work. They got everything done properly and left no mess behind. It was a seamless process and I am very satisfied with the results. I will be using them again for any plumbing issues. I highly recommend this service. "
Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts
The two main negatives of garbage disposals are they are a safety hazard in homes with children, and they frequently encounter blockage issues. While they might be annoying to fix and monitor, garbage disposals can significantly lower your trash use and are a great way to dispose of organic waste. While there are negatives, the vast majority of homeowners acknowledge the positives are enough to install a disposal in their home.
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.
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.
