"The installation technicians did an amazing job. I had them replace my toilet with one that was very difficult to install. It sat close to the wall with two inches available to insert your arm and reach in to install / tighten the bolt. I have no idea how the technician contorted his arm to install the bolts. The two technicians were very polite and professional. The communicated their arrival time and explained what they needed to achieve the impossible task. I would strongly recommend them and will be requesting their service in the future."

"I've hired Maplewood Plumbing multiple times. They are super friendly, easy to schedule and they do good work. However, this last time that they came to my house, I needed them to fix an outdoor garden faucet that was leaking backwards into my basement and to help me get a spoon out of my garbage disposal, which I was completely unable to remove myself (ugh). The technician was great, as usual, but he quoted me $155 to remove the spoon from my disposal. I questioned that, at which point he said that he could give me a total price of $386 for everything. I agreed and he fixed everything (the spoon took about 10 secs for him to remove) and he charged me and left. I started thinking about the cost later that night and it seemed awfully high, but not knowing what went into the pipe fix (one of the pipes was cracked and had to be replaced) I wasn't really informed enough to make that judgement. I wrote and asked for an itemized receipt so that I could weigh the cost of the parts against the cost of the services for future reference and decisions around who to hire for repairs. I was given a blanket receipt that did not itemize the work. I asked for another version, where they could list out the cost of items versus the cost of services and was told: "Because we charge a flat rate per service, not by time and materials, we do not provide itemized invoices. The $386 covers time, materials, and the 6 month warranty included in the service." (Just as a side note, I have always received an itemized bill from them in the past.) So I asked if they could tell me what their flat-rate service charge is - how they arrived at their numbers, because I was quoted two different prices for the garbage disposal and the pipe. I was given the original receipt that just lumped everything together under the one cost. I'm hesitant to hire them again due to the fact that I need more transparency with service providers that I hire. I like to know what I'm paying for parts and what I'm paying for labor. If that is important to you as well, then you might want to look elsewhere. If you don't care about that sort of thing, then I would recommend them because I believe they do quality work."

"This is the second time we’ve hired GA Chott during the past 10+ years. We hired Darryll and Angie and team to build out a bathroom from scratch (no plumbing) in our upstairs attic space, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. This was a large, 8-week project. We did our homework and acquired several bids. GA Chott wasn’t the cheapest (or the most expensive), but they were clearly the best choice. We give our highest recommendation. You’ll be pleased with both the quality of the work and how it’s handled throughout the process."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

On average, a garbage disposal can last anywhere from 7 to 12 years, with many models functioning well for about 10 years. With heavy usage, a motor may last a minimum of five years, while grinding plates will wear down over time. It's generally a good idea to consider a replacement if your unit is approaching the 10-year mark. Other signs that it's time for a new disposal include frequent leaks, persistent clogs, lingering odors, lack of power, or unusual noises. If your unit is not that old, it's worth investigating if a less expensive part, like a rubber seal or a loose hose, is causing the issue.
