Do garbage disposals unscrew?

• <div><p>These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garbage-disposal-repair-and-replacement.htm">when you replace your garbage disposal</a>. 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.</p></div>

How can I maximize the life span of my garbage disposal?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-keep-your-garbage-disposal-running.htm">proper care and maintenance</a>, 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.</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>

Q: Are garbage disposals bad for the environment?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly. </p></div>

Q: Can I DIY garbage disposal installation?

• <div><p>You may be able to install a garbage disposal on your own, especially if you're handy or have some experience with plumbing. However, if you have any concerns or want to make absolutely sure that the connections are installed correctly, you may be better off hiring a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/install-garbage-disposal/">local garbage disposal installer</a> to do the job. </p></div>

The roof was put on quickly, but old roof was supposed to be removed first, which it was not. There is water damage on the ceiling in 3 rooms that he said he would fix. I have called him 6 times and emailed without a response. This is now December and I have not heard back from him.

We took down the vent hood & put it in the garage for painting. The workman came at the precise time we'd agreed upon. We had put Kraft paper under the hood to protect the floor, but he was careful enough to lay down even more. There was absolutely NO mess & the hood looks like new. After...
