"Dan arrived early, agreed with my diagnosis of the problem with the first toilet (worn washer) but explained why replacement of the innards would probably be a better, longer lasting solution than trying to repair the 70 year old mechanism, which is what I had suggested it needed. I agreed with his analysis, and the repair was made quickly with parts he had in his truck. While he was doing that work, he gave me some tips on how to repair the sticky bathtub drain lever, should I ever want to do that myself. I then asked for advice on a peculiar flushing behavior on the toilet in another bathroom. His description of probable causes, and the reason why replacement of the toilet was probably the best long term solution, was completely understandable. But I related my perfectly awful experience with a low volume toilet 20-plus years ago, and explained why we were looking at the 6 gallon toilet I'd scrounged to replace the worthless one. His description of their experience with the reliability of the toilet brand they recommend, and the design changes that had been made to achieve that reliability, was persuasive, and I decided to do the replacement. Dan had to go get the new toilet, but the removal and installation went very smoothly, and he was done pretty much within the original window they had predicted for the job I called them to do. All old parts were taken away, and the work areas were left perfectly clean. I thought the bill was quite reasonable for the work and advice I received. And after more than a week, the new toilet is working perfectly. I could not have asked for a better service experience, and will certainly call Burke first if I need (or even think I need) plumbing work done in the future."

James arrived on time and ready to work.  He came in and told me exactly what he was going to do.  He cleaned out the tub and then put in some kind of cleaner and then taped up the bathroom including enclosing the door with a zipper so he could run a vacuum out the window for exhaust. He took his time and was a very pleasant man to work with.  He explained everything he was doing and wanted to know if I had any questions.  It took about 5 hours but he left with it very clean and beautiful.  The bathroom looks so nice we had to go out and buy all new plumbing because the old just did not look good. I would recommend this company (James) to anyone who needs work on their bathroom.  They do a great job and it was well worth the money.

"Bill did a great job. He promptly returned emails and texts, arrived on time for three days and installed the closet systems in a high quality manner. He asked questions along the way to ensure he was installing the different pieces according to our desires. He worked diligently to complete the job in a timely manner. He charged a fair price. We are very happy with the results and would use Bill again for handyman and light remodeling projects. Highly recommended!"

"I contacted several plumbers this day and Mr. Craig was the only one that returned my call. Once I told him the problem he told me a time and a price and he was there to fix the problem. I really appreciated the fact that he was on time and very professional. I would definitely be using this company again."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

If your garbage disposal powers up and you can hear it hum, but the arms inside aren’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.

In some cases, it’s more cost-effective in the long run to replace a garbage disposal, but it depends on the specific issue you’re having and the age of your disposal. You should ask a garbage disposal repair tech for a quote to repair your appliance and then see if it would be more worthwhile to replace it. Additionally, garbage disposals last for around 15 years, so if you know your appliance is reaching that age, it’s likely better to pay for a new garbage disposal rather than sink money into repairs.

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. 

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.

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.
