"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 was a great deal and I'm glad we had it done. The crew did the assigned work quickly and efficiently, reporting the results to me and answering my questions about other work. They offered me an alternative for rodding the waste stacks and we are considering it. There was no heavy pressure, just good information and description. It's more expensive than what we are doing now but the technique looked interesting so I will pursue and get back to them. Even if we don't do the hydroblasting we may still use this company for the rest of our work."

"It turned out that the ejector pump was OK, but the switch that controlled automatic discharge of the pump was not working. The estimate to do the work was quite high. ($653.00). Here's how it broke down: [1] Parts: (the switch): $193.27, [2] Labor: Remove Ejector pump from basin, install new switch, and then seal basin back up. Note: it took the plumber less than 1 hour to do this job. So he charged us $459.73 an hour for labor! This company must have neurosurgeons moonlighting as plumbers. We only agreed to this flat rate due to the emergency situation of water flowing into our basement when we did the laundry or flushed the toilet downstairs. Lesson learned: never hire a plumbing company that does their work for flat fees. The technician Steve was certainly knowledgeable and efficient, but his services do not warrant $460 an hour! This job should have only cost us about $400 at the most, not the $653 charged. I suggest that you do not use this company unless you don't mind spending a lot more money than you need to. To provide context, we completely replaced our ejector pump a few years ago and the cost was $500. Caveat emptor."

"I thought they did an excellent job. They finished the job in two days and super clean. The price is really good and no issues with them. They knocked it out and left the yard really clean. They put everything back. They do a great job."

"Called from out of town as a tenant needed the garbage disposal fixed, was in a bind as tenant had a short window that it could be replaced.   
The woman on the phone was very helpful and sent someone out the same day.
Garbage disposal was fully replaced, total cost was $685.  Most "badger" models (the one that was used) retail for under $100, so labor for under 2-hours was over five hundred dollars!
Also replaced the chain in the toilet tank (for free).
Good service - terrible price.

"Our sewer line had severed where it comes out of the house. This caused our toilets to start backing up, so we placed an emergency call on a Sunday. The tech came within about an hour and diagnosed the problem with their camera inspection equipment. It was raining and the tech had to feed the camera line from the cleanout in our front yard, but he was as friendly and kind as could be. Once he had diagnosed the problem, he spent a fair amount of time getting the repairs scheduled for later that day, which involved coordinating his crew, the village, and JULIE, since they had to dig up the front yard to fix the issue. The crew arrived later that day - they were also extremely professional and extremely pleasant to deal with.
While the repairs were very expensive, I was very impressed with everyone from Black Diamond. They seemed genuinely happy to help us with our emergency, even though it meant spending a Sunday working in the rain and high humidity. Since they had to leave the hole open overnight, they were careful to cover the hole completely with plywood so that no one would accidentally
fall in.They returned early Monday morning to backfill the hole in our yard, once the village had inspected the work.
 I will definitely use these guys for any plumbing issues that I have from here on.

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

On average, it takes one to four hours for a professional to install a garbage disposal. This includes removing the old unit, taking necessary measurements for positioning, removing and fitting new pipes, and installing the brand-new disposal system. If there are unforeseen issues, such as accessibility concerns, the process takes longer.

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.

Most garbage disposals have a reset button that can be triggered with a tool as simple and accessible as your index finger. That said, if you need to perform a more in-depth troubleshooting step, like manually moving the arms inside the unit or rotating the impeller plate, a hex wrench is the most common tool you’ll need. Most garbage disposals come with a hex wrench.

If you cook a lot or have a larger household, a garbage disposal can be worth it, since it streamlines your kitchen duties and helps to keep food waste out of landfills. It helps to know the cost of garbage disposal installation before you make your decision. The average price is about $400, but you can expect to pay more for higher-end models or if you hire a pro to do the job for you.

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.
