"We didn't receive the sign off from the city inspector. called Lincoln sewer, a couple of days later paperwork was left in the doorway. A simple receipt signed with the word "passed". The inspectors card was with it. I called him and asked how did the line look out to the street? He said he didn't know cause there was no camera to view the line. I asked him what did he pass then? he said the installation of the cleanout. I called Lincoln sewer, they came out again, re rodded, ran the camera down the line. It was clean from the catch basin to the parkway, but at the curb and beyond there was water in the line and you couldn't see anything. Lincoln sewer seemed to find that odd. they ran 50 ft of rod and camera into the street and the camera, and kept on searching in the street for where the rod or camera had made it do. but couldn't find it. They stated "your drain is fine" those pipes in the street could make a drop off. Me being overtly trusting, I helped load their heavy equipment into the truck and off they went. ........I've been calling the ward office to have the tree causing the problem to be removed, and they told us we should sign up for the city's private drain program, where the city checks the drains and fixes the drain if the problem is in the parkway to the street. I called the city and they said I had to hire a licensed plumber to rod and camera the line with an inspector to sign off on! I told him what took place, and he said, that's not right, call lincoln sewer back and have them camera the line with an inspector present to see it to the street. the permit is good for a year. Infuriated, I called lincoln sewer, only to rudly @#$#@ curse at the nice lady who answers the phone for them. My bigley Bad. Instantly I got a call back ******** me out for my language! I agreed, it wasn't her fault, it was his. We're scheduled for a 3rd time, with a camera and an inspector. I called the nice lady back and apologized. The third and visit is next week. The season pro from Lincoln sewer was upset when he found out no cam was present for the inspector. He felt bad by not being their, I should have been there, but had to leave, do to mom in laws things. But that doesn't change anything. I still coughed up 2800 bucks. Have had no water back up issues since, nobody likes paying for a service that was sold to me, then not getting it. A city inspector didn't look at a camera and inspect my drain from beginning to the street. There could still be a problem, and there shouldn't be. A lot of Ugliness has happened and is still happening. None of this would have occurred if the camera was there for the inspector to view as contracted on the the first visit. I'm upset, the nice ladies upset, the Lincoln sewer is upset. But I still don't have proof from the city that things things are good as promised or paid for."

"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."

"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."

"The crew of two arrived promptly in the morning, and were professional and efficient. Replaced two old pull out faucets with two new pull down faucets that we purchased. We also had them inspect the sinks and garbage disposals to make sure they were secure, and re-caulk around the sinks. Shortly after they left, I checked the pull down on the island which was fine, but the faucet on the double sink had problems with the pull down. I didn't notice it until five minutes after they left, so I called to let Derek know. Derek came out mid-afternoon to take a look, and moved the drain line for the dishwasher which was restricting the new pull down hose."

"Everything went really well. Troy came out on time and rodded out main sewer in about an hour. Very professional and that took care of our problem. I would use The Scottish Plumber again."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

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. 

Garbage disposals are durable appliances that usually last at least eight years as long as you clean and maintain them. It’s relatively rare for a garbage disposal to break on its own, as most malfunctions happen due to user errors, like overstuffing the grinding compartment or damaging the blades by trying to dispose of metal or bone. Eventually, cracks or leaks could develop in the unit, which requires a full replacement. 

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.

These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.

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.
