"LJ is simply the best.  We have used him previously with great success, but I have never taken the time to write a review.  Saturday evening, my husband noticed a small leak from our hot water heater.  I called LJ at 6 pm and was just planning on leaving him a message to call me on Monday.  Instead, he picked up the phone and told me he could install a new one that evening.  Sure enough, he arrived at our house the same evening and installed the new unit.  Talk about customer service!  We have had a lot of work done to our house over the years, but I have never had service like this from any business.  Many thanks!

"Tom discussed what I would want in a heater and why he recommended the brand he did. They arranged the appointment and arrived on time. The gentlemen installing the unit were friendly, polite, and informative. They cleaned up after themselves and ensured I understood what they did and that everything worked before they left."

"The visit exceedingly well. Jason found 4 issues that needed to be fixed. 2 of them were not related to the current inability to heat the house, but were causing comfort and house deterioration problems. I couldn't be more pleased. 2 days later, we had a non-emergency visit for our garbage disposal, and that went extremely well also. Both technicians explained everything to us and my husband and I were convinced that they were on the level. We are switching to Anthony Plumbing for all our HVAC and plumbing needs."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

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.

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’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.

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 two main negatives of garbage disposals are they are a safety hazard in homes with children, and they frequently encounter blockage issues. While they might be annoying to fix and monitor, garbage disposals can significantly lower your trash use and are a great way to dispose of organic waste. While there are negatives, the vast majority of homeowners acknowledge the positives are enough to install a disposal in their home. 

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.
