"Keith was amazing. Once the initial supply line was moved and the disposal was fitted, the return line was too close to the disposal.. Keith again worked his magic and made the whole thing work. The interesting part was that he found that our plumbing was not to code before he started and he explained what the problem was and how he fixed it. He definitely deserves an A+ when it comes to explaining the process to the home owner and for his creativity and determination to make the job work."

"Had an 18 year old water heater that needed to be replaced. Called on Tuesday, got an in person estimate on Wednesday, and a new unit installed on Friday. They walked me through the whole process at every step. Reasonable prices and great work."

"KBR Kitchen and Bath (Fairfax) did an incredible job remodeling our upstairs bathrooms! We initially reached out to several companies for quotes, but we selected KBR because the designer (Silviya) made such a great impression when she came to our home to take measurements and to collect our requirements for the project. She asked great questions, gave helpful advice, and she helped us select the right design and materials to ensure that we ended up with bathrooms that we love. Throughout the project, the Project Manager, Omer, kept us informed of the process and schedule, answered our questions, and he ensured that communication between us, the subcontractors, and the crew doing the work was seamless. The crew was at our house from 8-5 every day, they put down drop cloths to cover the floor from the front door to the bathroom, and they cleaned up well before leaving each day. The team was led by Urias whose attention to detail, eye for design, and experience resulted in bathrooms that exceeded our expectations in every way. We were so impressed by Urias’ work that we added additional electrical work in the kitchen and basement onto our contract. I had heard so many horror stories about remodeling projects that drastically exceeded the budget and schedule, so I was expecting some surprises. The only surprise was how great the final product was…both bathrooms exceeded our expectations in every way!"

"I contacted Mr. Jackson and he promptly responded to my residence to assess the condition of my old water heater that stopped working. Mr. Jackson took the time to explain to me in detail, my options to repair my current water heater or purchase a new water heater. I decided to replace my old water heater with a professional grade water heater Mr. Jackson had recommended. Mr. Jackson procured my new water heater on Columbus Day and installed it the same day in compliance with local codes for water heaters. Mr. Jackson followed up with me via telephone to make sure my new water heater was functioning to my satisfaction. My response was indeed it is! Mr. Jackson was a true professional and took his time to ensure my installation was performed correctly, a job well done."

Install Garbage Disposal FAQs, answered by experts

Continuous feed garbage disposals are the favorite model for many homeowners for a reason. As opposed to batch feed models, add food scraps to the drain whenever the disposal is running. This variety is also typically less expensive, more convenient, and easier to clean.

While unplugging your garbage disposal and plugging it back in may help, most units have an actual reset button, a bright red switch found on the underside of your unit. If your garbage disposal needs resetting, you may notice this button sticking out about a quarter of an inch from the surface of the unit, with which it’s usually flush. Simply depress this reset button to reset the unit, and then test to ensure it’s working about 10 minutes later.

Whether it's worth repairing your garbage disposal depends on its age and the specific problem. Generally, if the unit is eight years old or younger, repair is a good option. For minor issues like a bad seal or a simple jam, a repair can be inexpensive, sometimes under $10. However, if the motor is broken (a repair that can cost $150 or more) or the unit is getting old, it's often more cost-effective to replace the entire disposal.

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.

There are many maintenance and repair issues that lead to a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Regular clogs place wear and tear on the motors, leading to an eventual shutdown. Electrical issues at the breaker, wall outlet, or disposal itself can fry the unit. The most common cause is simply a worn-down motor. These motors can only handle so much use before powering down for good.
