"Excellent services. The plumber has 18-year experience. He came to my condo on time. He changed the garbage disposal and also helped with the leaking in my bathroom. I am glad I pick Suma for these work. Thanks so much."

"The work went well. Lal Zaua was on time (actually a little early), explained the need for a new garbage disposal instead of fixing the current one which had rusted, and cleaned up after himself when the work was done."

"Kap from Joseph Plumbing and Drain was great. I requested a quote Saturday morning and they came out within a few hours. We scheduled the work for Friday and they arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did excellent work installing my new main water shut-off valve. Highly recommend."

"Very well; the garbage disposal that was already installed was a bit unusual of a configuration, so he had to do some extra work. If not for that, the total cost would have been even less. (And, after getting a couple of other quotes just for the garbage disposal, not including the necessary modifications, his total price was still a bit less.)"

"Woke up @ 4:20am to no water.  After some quick searching online, R&G popped up with excellent reviews at homeadvisore.com and Angie's list.  I called R&G~ 5:30 am, and spoke to the owners (I believe); I will note the 410 number redirected me as being out of service, but the 1-800 number went thru.  We were put on that morning's itinerary and Jeff & Dave were here at 10:30 am.  Appreciated that they called at 10 to let me know they'd be here in about 30 minutes.  When they got here, they inspected inside and outside; the well pump had failed (it was installed in 1971, and we were told we got more than typical life out of it) and needed to be replaced, as expected. Both Jeff and Dave were courteous, and the only thing that slowed them down was a plumbing materials run to the store to finish the job.  They were done at 1pm, and we tested the water in the house with success.  We ended up paying a bit more because some other materials with the submerged well pump needed to be replaced.  Having leaned heavily on reviews here and not in a position to get other bids, I'm not sure if the price was an "A", but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. Plus, we were able to take advantage of an Angie's List coupon which saved us $100. Anyhow, we were without water for ~8-9 hours, and that's impressive given I feared we'd be waiting a day or so.  In fact, we use Water Doctor for our whole-house treatment and R-O system, and I will talk to my wife about switching to R&G, as they do that type of work too."

"Kap and his assistant came by this morning to clear a badly clogged drain, as well as repair our broken garbage disposal. What was evident first and foremost, was their professionalism and thoroughness to answers to our questions. They did a great job and made sure we were aware of everything that was going on with the process and were very professional and courteous throughout this entire process. We are now back on track with clear drains and a working disposal - and at a reasonable price, too. We HIGHLY recommend Joseph Plumbing and Drain to all who need plumbing work done. :)"

"I’m back again to write another stellar review for GAC. Last year they replaced our HVAC system; this year we circled back and had them install a home generator. This was a long and drawn out process due to the various approvals needed from Montgomery County as well as coordination with Washington Gas (which ended up not just being a simple sign off but necessitating an additional, expensive upgrade to the gas line from the street to our home). Nevertheless, GAC did a fantastic job shepherding this process over the 6+ months of waiting on stakeholders, and they were also maximally accommodating to our family’s significant constraints on time and availability (due to health concerns related to a medically fragile family member). A special kudos to Sandy M, GAC’s master electrician, who took it on personally to ensure we were taken care of all throughout this process, going above and beyond with phone calls, text messages, personal visits, etc. on behalf of my family, I want to thank GAC and am giving top marks across the board for this effort which was complex , lengthy, and ultimately successful."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

While the drain connection for a garbage disposal is nearly universal and fits standard sink drain holes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, the size of the disposal unit itself is not. You must have enough space in the cabinet underneath your sink to accommodate the disposal's housing. A larger model may not fit in a compact cabinet or if the existing plumbing is arranged in an unusual way. Before buying a new garbage disposal, measure the available space under your sink. If you are replacing an old unit, it's often easiest to choose a new model of a similar size.

No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.

However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.

On average, it takes one to four hours for a professional to install a garbage disposal. This includes removing the old unit, taking necessary measurements for positioning, removing and fitting new pipes, and installing the brand-new disposal system. If there are unforeseen issues, such as accessibility concerns, the process takes longer.

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 repair or replace your garbage disposal, 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.

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.
