"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."

"Nick showed me that the wall switch was in the "off" position. How stupid I felt as I had checked for a switch under the sink not realizing the switch (which I never use) was on the wall. But while he was here, he checked the filter which needed cleaning, reminded me how to remove it and clean it and installed a galvanized electrical box and cover to enclose the bare wires from the unused garbage disposer. He also provided me with a free sample of a dishwasher cleaner I can order from Amazon. So this was not a wasted service call. Nick and his assistant were early in arriving, friendly and cleaned up after their work. I have used Park Ridge before in my other home and would certainly use them again."

"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.)

"Nick did a great job and quickly got my drain unclogged. The previous owner had appeared to have leaks at some point and rather then replace the P trap they had just glued it over and over. Nick was able to get it removed and replace it with new pipes. I will definitely call Green Tech again for all my plumbing needs."

"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."

"Trust! I think trust is most important in choosing an expert to fix a problem. Of course experience, knowledge, ability and integrity are also needed. But trusting the reviews written by others or trusting the recommendation of a friend is sometimes all we have to go by. I had a clogged drain about 15 feet “downstream” from my kitchen sink. It was the result of overzealous use of the garbage disposal. I tried snaking the drain myself but the clog was too big (turns out about 2 feet of drain was totally blocked). I did research on several websites looking for a plumber in my area who I could trust to do the work right - at a fair price. I narrowed the list to 4 companies. At 7:15 PM on a weekday I called each of them. I got two answering services that could not answer any of my technical questions, another said they would have someone call me back “in a few minutes” (never happened) and then there was Dmitry. Dmitry is one of the owners of CJ Plumbing. He answered the phone himself. He was able to discuss my issue intelligently, explain the likely scenarios and give me an estimated price range (min and max) for the job. It was clear from his questions and his input that he understood the problem and knew the likely solutions. As it turns out, he was absolutely correct about the issue and what it would take to fix it. I wanted to consider what he said before making a commitment. He said I could call him back anytime in the next few hours. I called several hours later and again he answered the phone and we scheduled a visit for the following afternoon. The plumber who showed up (not the person I spoke to) was a delight to work with. He was professional, polite, and patient as he answered my many questions. He tried a few “easy” options to fix the problem (e.g. using a powered drain snake). When those did not work he said the best option was to cut out the clogged section of drain (which he had located) and replace it with a new section of pipe. The clogged part of the pipe included two 90 degree bends. He removed that section and replaced the sharp bends with pairs of 45 degree bends to allow waste to pass through the more easily. The drain pipe ran along the ceiling of my unfinished basement so there was direct access to the pipe. After replacing the section of pipe he verified that there were no leaks and cleaned up the area of the basement where he worked as well as the area under the kitchen sink. He even cleaned the sink. I was VERY pleased with his work and with his personality. The cost of the repair was within the range quoted on the phone (though near the higher end). My trust in CJ Plumbing was rewarded by their performance and their honesty. I would definitely use them again and would recommend them to friends and family. I recommend them to YOU."

"Anthony came out right away and identified the problem (there was more than one.) He offered several solutions and scheduled the work for the next day. The workers were punctual and as clean as possible (no small feat when you are drilling cement.) Our basement is finished and due to access, they had to take down part of a wall but all was explained upfront. I would definitely hire them again. We were so upset about the water because we had just laid new carpet (of course) but Anthony made me feel better once he identified the problem and we agreed upon a solution. Also had them install new sump pumps as we were nearing that time and we wanted to be as safe as possible. Really felt it was a fair price given all the work they did."

"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."

"Sam and his team at F3 plumbing were excellent. I recently purchased my home and have had several contractors come out and take a look at plumbing issues, F3 was by far the most straight forward and gave me a great quote. They preformed the work professionally and efficiently. Within a day they were able to come out and look at my plumbing and equipment. I ended up having them fix a leak in my water main line, rod the sewer, replace and upgrade my 50 gallon water heater with a 75 gallon water heater, demo and reinstall a full bathroom with bath tub, tile, and floor replacement (looks brand new beautiful and modern), and install a brand new dishwasher with a new connecting water line. Everything looks great and was professionally installed and they hauled away all of the trash. Great company and highly recommend!"

"Both kitchen sinks leaked unto the bottom of the kitchen cabinet.   He made all efforts to repair the leakage points but found out that the sink was installed at a different angle than previously when a new counter  was put in.   As a result everything was askew and new parts had to be installed.   When he took the old pipe off the rotten (very old) metal threads broke and all the plumbing had to be replaced.  After that setback and getting needed parts he quickly got everything together and there have been no leaks since.   YEAH!!!!     Excellent job, I would never call anyone else.   Honest, knows what he is doing.    If you're thinking about getting a plumber, this one will do the job right and at a fair price.

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

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.

You may be able to install a garbage disposal on your own, especially if you're handy or have some experience with plumbing. However, if you have any concerns or want to make absolutely sure that the connections are installed correctly, you may be better off hiring a local garbage disposal installer to do the job. 

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.

While the drain connection for a garbage disposal is nearly universal and fits standard sink drain holes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, the size of the disposal unit itself is not. You must have enough space in the cabinet underneath your sink to accommodate the disposal's housing. A larger model may not fit in a compact cabinet or if the existing plumbing is arranged in an unusual way. Before buying a new garbage disposal, measure the available space under your sink. If you are replacing an old unit, it's often easiest to choose a new model of a similar size.

As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with proper care and maintenance, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.
