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."

"Sterling was the best!!! He came on short notice and during the middle of a snow storm. He even shoveled our driveway so he could service us. He fixed our problem and then tripled checked to make sure everything ran smoothly. He also fixed our garbage disposal which was a bonus as that was a separate issue. He was professional courteous and very patient with us explaining every single detail of the job he had to perform. I would highly recommend him for services and would definately use him again in the future. Sterling was a GOD send In helping us get our draining problem fixedð"

"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."

"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.)"

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

Soil is just one of the items you shouldn't put down a garbage disposal. Garbage disposals are only meant for soft, non-fibrous foods. Large amounts of topsoil, dirt, or rocks will damage the blades of your garbage disposal or clog the pipes. If a small amount of dirt goes down the drain as you repot a plant, you shouldn't have to worry, but never dump a whole pot of soil in the sink for fast disposal.

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.

These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly when you replace your garbage disposal. 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.

These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.

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.
