Is fixing a leaking garbage disposal worth it?

• <div><p>If the cost of repairing a leaking garbage disposal is close to the cost of replacing the disposal, then fixing the unit might not make sense. When deciding if you should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garbage-disposal-repair-and-replacement.htm">repair or replace your garbage disposal</a>, consider the age of your garbage disposal, the cost of the repair, and whether your garbage disposal has had other problems recently to help you decide if the cost of repairing the leak is better than the cost of replacing the disposal.</p></div>

Is it worth it to fix a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/plumbers/">local plumber</a> for a quick repair. If it seems like the motor is wearing down, spring for a replacement unit. </p></div>

How long do garbage disposals last?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garbage-disposal-last.htm">Garbage disposals last</a> an average of about 10 years, so it may be time for a new model if it's getting up there in age. Other signs that it's time to bring in a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/install-garbage-disposal/">local garbage disposal pro</a> include:</p><ul><li><p>Leaks under your disposal</p></li><li><p>Persistent clogs</p></li><li><p>Lingering odors</p></li><li><p>Lack of power</p></li><li><p>Unexplained noises</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

A very professional and proficient team that removed a difficult downed tree over a multiple deck project. They were on time, courteous and finished the job safely with the property in better shape than they arrived. From 1 - 10 I would rate them a 15. They are my new tree trim or tree emergency...

Great job! Removed tree and stump as agreed. All small sticks and leaves from the tree were raked and removed from the yard as well. I recommend this company and if I need another tree removed I will call them next time as well.

**HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED**. We had flooding in our basement. I called several companies to respond and give estimates. Paul Davis Restoration initially appeared to be good company. The owner/president of the local branch, Jeff Goldman, quickly responded and we accepted their estimates. Their...

We used their $199 deal to kick off a very quick painting of our dining room and kitchen to ready our house for sale. They removed wall to wall to ceiling mirrors in dining room, prepped wall and two coated. In kitchen, they used Kilz over the wall paper that needed to be painted and then...

I called Window World (WW) based on the recommendations found on Angie's List. A salesperson came to my house to measure and give me the price estimate. He was very friendly and knowledgeable, but I had to "slow him down" several times to re-direct him to some particular questions I had. He...

The entire operation was fairly quick and simple. Paul, the technician they sent out, first looked at the drain and determined that he could do the work immediately. While setting up his tools -- mainly some sort of auger -- he explained what he was going to do and what the charge would be...
