Will my garbage disposal impact my septic tank?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to repair a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Whether you choose to repair your garbage disposal will depend on the problem. For minor issues like a bad seal, you can fix the unit for less than $10. If the motor unit is broken, which can easily cost $150, you may want to consider replacing the entire disposal if it&rsquo;s getting on in years. </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>

Q: Do I need to have a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher?

• <div><p>No, you don&rsquo;t <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garbage-disposal-necessary-dishwasher.htm">need a garbage disposal for a dishwasher</a>. A dishwasher will work without a garbage disposal. However, the two appliances pair well and are often installed together. It is rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn&rsquo;t have a garbage disposal, but that doesn&rsquo;t mean it's not possible. Each appliance serves its own purpose. </p></div>

Q: What is the most common size garbage disposal?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

They did a good job drying out the crawl space and removing the mold. However, they did not adequately fix the hole they cut into my bathroom floor. They never stopped in daily to check on the progress as they said they would. And, when they charged my credit card, they overcharged me by more...

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...
