Gun safes, hot tub, jewerly, machine, hoisting, & Very heavy Movers.

"I wish I had seen these other reviews before hiring these scam artists. Got scammed by the rude owner/operator, Paul. His crew damaged my home and the item they tried to move, Paul has failed to provide proof of license or insurance, and now Paul has ghosted me. I arranged to have a large fridge relocated within my home. Paul gladly took the job and expressed no concerns about the project. The quote was high but seemed reasonable for a skilled, careful crew. The three guys that showed up were amateurs and stank of weed. I should have canceled right there. These clowns struggled with the move and ended up damaging the fridge in multiple places and left deep scrapes in my wood floors. The cherry on top is that Paul has the gall to tell me the damage was already there, that it was an impossible job (but he gladly took it anyway), and that his crew took pictures to document it beforehand. I'm still waiting on seeing these mythical pictures or any offer of compensation."

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

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.

Garbage disposals last an average of seven years but can function well past 10 years. However, as time goes on and more food is ground, the grinding plates will slowly lose their edge and need replacing. A motor likely won’t last 10 or more years, but you should be able to get a minimum of five years at least, even under heavy usage. 

Your garbage disposal is not draining because it might have a clog due to food waste, a foreign object, grease, oil, fat, or it may have a broken motor. When water doesn't flush out of the disposal, that's a key sign that your disposal has a clog or needs repair. 

It’s one thing that helps, alongside vinegar and baking soda. Ice acts as an exfoliant, helping to lift off any bits of food stuck on the disposal blades.

Soil is just one of the items you shouldn't put down a garbage disposal. Garbage disposals are only meant for soft, non-fibrous foods. Large amounts of topsoil, dirt, or rocks will damage the blades of your garbage disposal or clog the pipes. If a small amount of dirt goes down the drain as you repot a plant, you shouldn't have to worry, but never dump a whole pot of soil in the sink for fast disposal.
