"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.)

"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."

"I discovered a backed up drain in the basement, looked for a recommendation on Angie's List for a plumber, called J. Blanton, and within a few hours Matt arrived to quickly confirm my problem and fix it. Service was fast, on time, solved the problem in one visit: cannot ask for more. Very satisfied with J Blanton and will use again for a full house inspection of faucets, toilets, drains, etc.

"We had two plumbing/drainage problems: 
1.  Our drains had been running slowly on and off for awhile.  We made an appointment with H2O when washing machine water started backing up in the bathtub and plungers weren't cutting it anymore.  I assumed a 1950's barrel trap under the bathtub might be part of the problem.  H20 suggested that rodding the sewer would probably be enough to get the drains working again.  They were right - they rodded the line, and all of the drains in the house flow well now.
2. Our toilet flange was too low for the floor because a previous tile project had raised the floor level.  The  toilet worked and was not leaking, but it was not securely bolted down.  H2O removed the toilet and the old collar, installed a new collar at the appropriate height, and reinstalled the toilet.  Now everything is secured properly and works perfectly.
They arrived early, asked questions, quoted a fair price, worked quickly (they were in and out within a couple of hours), and tested their work thoroughly.  The final bill was below the original quote.  They left the work area spotless before leaving.  We will call H2O again next time we need a plumber.

"I contacted Gus via the email link on Angie's List and explain the work that needed to be done and when I would be available.  Gus responsed via email the same day, and we set up the date and approximate time for him to come.  Prior to arrival, he called saying he was on his way and arrived on time.  He accessed the work (celiing light that didn't work), found the problem, and installed a new fixture that I had previously purchased. I am glad I found Gus and will definitely call him for future projects.

"Black Diamond was quick on the follow up and scheduling of estimate.  Out of three providers, one didn't respond, one was very expensive and Black Diamond was simply on the expensive side.
They were able to quickly schedule the install, arrived on time, explained what they were going to do and got right to work.  David was ready to explain what he was doing as he worked through the install.  The install was completed in a professional manner with no corner cutting.
Clean up was quick and efficient and he left the place cleaner than when he found it.

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
