"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."

"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."

"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.

"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.

"All the problems were taken care of quickly. Tim Howe, who owns the business, is one of the most organized people that I have had the pleasure of working with. He has the ability to not only recognize the problem at hand but to explain it clearly in terms a layman can understand. He gives you the options available so you can make a semi-intelligent decision on what he can do for you to correct the problem. He has a large truck that functions as a riding warehouse. Almost everythin)g I needed was on his truck. His prices were reasonable; $365 to fix the toilet, $135 for the sink and $230 to fix the drain in the bathtub and replace the showerhead and fix the broken knob."

Install Garbage Disposal FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

The two main negatives of garbage disposals are they are a safety hazard in homes with children, and they frequently encounter blockage issues. While they might be annoying to fix and monitor, garbage disposals can significantly lower your trash use and are a great way to dispose of organic waste. While there are negatives, the vast majority of homeowners acknowledge the positives are enough to install a disposal in their home. 

The most common garbage disposal size in the U.S. is 1/2 horsepower. This size is ideal for households with three or fewer people or those that don't produce much food waste. Although 1/2 horsepower can't handle the typical food waste load for a household of four (which is about 250 pounds of food waste annually) as effectively as 3/4 horsepower, it remains the most common size of garbage disposal on the market.

Garbage disposals can be considered bad for the environment due to their electricity usage, but good for the environment because they reduce the food waste sent to landfills. If everyone used a garbage disposal, it would tax the wastewater treatment facilities in that region, but if we had to choose one of the options, we’d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly. 

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.
