"75 years old house with a very small bathroom decided to convert tub to a shower .spent over $17,000. I?m trying to love it but I can?t sales lady didn?t take into consideration the size of bathroom. I had about 16 inches between toilet and tub . shower door handle sticks out past the wall by about a half an inch - I hit my arm on it. If you don?t move the shower door towards the front, you hit your head on the handle. I ordered a niche which couldn?t be installed on the side they refused to give me any type of refund. My only choices were to put the niche on the back wall, which I did not want or I had the option of taking two corner shelves, which were ugly because you could see the bracket underneath them. So am out that money Installation team consisted of one man very nice guy however when he was taking the old tub pieces out, put a big scratch in my woodwork, would I do it again no absolutely not."

Garbage Disposal Repair questions, answered by experts

Generally speaking, it’s absolutely worth it to repair a garbage disposal, so long as it’s eight years old or younger. Once you pass that eight-year threshold, it depends on the issue. If it’s a simple jam and the core components remain unaffected, call a local plumber for a quick repair. If it seems like the motor is wearing down, spring for a replacement unit. 

There are many maintenance and repair issues that lead to a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Regular clogs place wear and tear on the motors, leading to an eventual shutdown. Electrical issues at the breaker, wall outlet, or disposal itself can fry the unit. The most common cause is simply a worn-down motor. These motors can only handle so much use before powering down for good. 

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.

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.

When a dishwasher discharges its wastewater, it uses a pump to quickly move a lot of water. If anything in the drain line or the garbage disposal impedes the high volume of water, it will back up into the sink through the drain or the garbage disposal. Following regular dishwasher maintenance tips like clearing clogs, keeping them cleared, and occasionally running the disposal will eliminate the problem.
