Customers say: True professional

"The company owner (Lal) arrived within the time range original specified to clear (snake) a clogged kitchen sink drain. He cleaned up the cabinetry from any grime extracted from piping, and answered a few general questions of mine regarding plumbing (I discovered the drain clog while trying to replace an old (and clogged) garbage disposal with regular PVC piping), as I thought the blog was only in the disposal unit. Lal called at 7AM the day after I placed the HomeAdvisor request and accepted his request, which I did the evening before sometime around 9-10 PM. This was perfect, as am an early riser. For reference, Lal charged $250 for cleaning the drain. For my last clogged drain (bathroom tub), Hughes Mechanical charged me $275 to snake it. Len the Plumber quoted me $600-something for snaking the tub drain. Lal says he worked for Len the Plumber and Roto-Rooter in the past, showing me a $600-something charge for snaking from a Roto-Rooter price booklet (The Len the Plumber rep for the tub clog had a similar booklet which he used to explain his price when I balked). Lal advised me to pay him to replace the older garbage disposal with a new disposal rather than pipe as I had originally intended. He quoted me $550 to install a 1/2 Horsepower Badger 500 Continuous Feed Disposer, and when I balked, offered to reduce to $450. I declined and just completed the pipe installation myself."

"The Dun Rite technician, Sterling Collick, performed the sink drain cleaning I requested with great skill and professionalism. The project was completed in less than an hour, and the bathroom was cleared of all trace of plumbing work. The sink is now operating as good as new."

"Two gentlemen showed up- ON TIME and both had masks on and were very polite. Per my request, they texted when they were close so I could get my large dog settled. They took out the old garbage disposal and installed new one. The space under my sink is very tight, so it was not an easy job! They completed the job- did not leave any trash behind. Very clean and very respectful."

"This company was prompt, professional and provided good service. Installation of the treatment tank was well managed and they were very informative. Word to those considering a treatment tank -- we found about 2 months after installation that the treatment system had over-corrected and we then had extremely alkaline water (which yes is supposed to be healthy to a degree but it wreaks havoc on your hair). My husband and I both found our hair had quickly become brittle and dry and it took a bit of discussion to figure out the only recent change was our water treatment system. I called R&G back and they re-tested and determined we now needed a water softener system. They did install and that resolved all the issues. If I had one concern it is that the company should, based on their experience, anticipate something like that and at least provide the warning in advance or return within a week and re-test your water to determine if the over-correction had occurred. It would have been better to be so informed and pro-active about addressing rather than experiencing the effects of the alkaline system and then fixing. Also, would have been helpful to be able to anticipate the additional cost. Each water treatment tank is about $1700 - so ultimately we did have to expend twice as much as originally planned in order to arrive at appropriate pH levels. They are a good, professional and knowledgeable company. Just anticipate the potential for overcorrection and ask for re-testing after install so that you can make sure your system is where you need it to be."

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.

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.

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.

The main issue with garbage disposals is clogging. This can mean a clogging of the pipes that expel the food along with water, or a clogging of the mechanical parts themselves. The problem lies in the solution because you can’t easily see clogs if they’re inside the system, and reaching in to dislodge stuck items is a risky proposal. Call a pro and ask what they would do, but if you can’t see the clog easily, and running the unit won’t free it, you need to let a professional handle the fix. 

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’d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly.
