Q: Will my garbage disposal impact my septic tank?

• <div><p>Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you&rsquo;re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn&rsquo;t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won&rsquo;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: Why does my garbage disposal have power but won’t spin?

• <div><p>If your garbage disposal powers up and you can hear it hum, but the arms inside aren&rsquo;t moving, the problem might be a stubborn clog, a build-up of grease, or a jam of the impeller plate. To troubleshoot these, ensure your unit is off and disconnected from its power source before checking inside the drain or attempting to manually rotate the impeller arms or plate from the underside of the unit. A hex wrench can help.</p></div>

Q: Do garbage disposals unscrew?

• <div><p>These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garbage-disposal-repair-and-replacement.htm">when you replace your garbage disposal</a>. Make sure you shut the power off to the area first and check that it&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: Why should I pick a continuous-feed garbage disposal?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How do you remove a garbage disposal mounting bracket?

• <div><p>Once you have your garbage disposal disconnected, you can remove the mounting bracket by unscrewing the bolts that are holding the bracket. You can back them out just enough to pop off the snap ring, which prevents the bottom portion of the bracket from disconnecting from the top when you unscrew the bolts. Use a regular screwdriver to pop off the snap ring, and the rest of the components should fall off by themselves.</p></div>

We had the Woodcoppers drill a stump out for us and clean up some trees a year or so ago. We had them again this year to clear fallen limbs. They did an excellent job both times.

"In need of a house cleaning service? I highly recommend QUEENS OF CLEAN. The work that Crystal and her crew do is what you have been dreaming of. I was blown away by their attention to even the smallest detail as they dusted, washed and wiped all that I requested. All of the hardwood floors, mirrors and appliances cleaned with no streaks, cat hair on soft surfaced furniture - gone, wooden furniture brought back to shine. I had felt overwhelmed and unmotivated for some time regarding many things, including housework. I decided to give myself a break and Queens of Clean a chance. I hope you will do the same. Call Crystal at 810-484-7757."
