"ABSOLUTELY wonderful!  Very professional, courteous and very nice.  I will both use $49 again, and refer whenever needed.  This not only was cheaper than the installation I could have gotten with Sears, but I got more work done as well with my disposal switch.  Plus it was done the day I called!  Very happy!

"Quick response to my inquiry message, was able to come out the same day to install a ceiling fan. Super friendly. He did an excellent job and was able to do the job in a fraction of the time it would have taken me to do it. His service was very much appreciated and I will definitely hire him again for other projects."

"These guys were GREAT!! My kitchen sink and dishwasher backed up after I used my garbage disposal Wednesday night. I worked on it half the night trying to dislodge the clog, but only made things worse. I had standing water in both sinks and my dishwasher, and the dishwasher was leaking onto my wood floor. I looked on Angie's List, found these guys with a coupon for $69.50 for drain cleaning, and called them Thursday morning. The owner answered and said he'd have someone there that afternoon, but they called and were at my house within 2-1/2 hours. Two extremely nice guys showed up, friendly and professional. The clog wasn't easy to remove and took a bit of work, but they got it cleared and things were back to normal. They were careful not to damage anything and cleaned up after themselves. You'd never know they were here, except my sink and dishwasher were working again.  And the price was unbelievable, $70 for a drain cleanout is a BARGAIN!!  I will DEFINITELY call them again when I need a plumber!!!

"We bought a house recently. The inspection report called for installation of an expansion tank and lengthened drip leg on the HW heater. Jamison Plumbing had installed the new HW tank several months before for the original home owner. Jason called the City of Liberty to determine the exact code requirements. He called back and agreed to the additional work at no charge. He was able to make the changes in a timely manner. His crew called to say they would be later than planned because of an unexpected delay at the preceding job site. We appreciated his willingness to finish the installation according to code and to cover the additional materials and time. It was a great way to be welcomed into a new community.

"We had an emergency on the fourth of July weekend where we had a water leak and our main water line shut off was not working. Anthony came right out and took care of it for us. He then returned a few day later to complete more repairs we needed. We plan to use him again in a few weeks to add a new gas line and garbage disposal."

"Was consulted after a friend (in the HVAC business out of state) advised initial diagnosis from a different company did not make sense. Ended up being a costly repair but thanks to J & R, the correct problem and issue was addressed. Very pleased, especially on short notice during a hot spell for J & R working us in to get the repairs completed."

"The project went very well.   Any problems, there were very few, were handled promptly and professionally.  There were different crews that came in and out daily but they were always on time, did what they had to go, cleaned up, and were on their way.  We have no complaints and definitely would use them again.

"It went extremely well.  The finished product is awesome.  Shawn has worked on many projects for me since 2009 including installing a new shower, putting in a French drain, repairing my deck and many repair jobs.  This project turned out beautifully and exceeded my expectations.  Shawn is very pleasant to deal with and goes out of his way to help with any problems you may have.  The people who work for him also do very good work.  He is very knowledgeable of all aspects of building and home repair and I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in repair or remodel."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

The most common garbage disposal size in the U.S. is 1/2 horsepower. This size is ideal for households with three or fewer people or those that don't produce much food waste. Although 1/2 horsepower can't handle the typical food waste load for a household of four (which is about 250 pounds of food waste annually) as effectively as 3/4 horsepower, it remains the most common size of garbage disposal on the market.

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. 

Most garbage disposals have a reset button that can be triggered with a tool as simple and accessible as your index finger. That said, if you need to perform a more in-depth troubleshooting step, like manually moving the arms inside the unit or rotating the impeller plate, a hex wrench is the most common tool you’ll need. Most garbage disposals come with a hex wrench.

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.
