"I'm so happy with the service! My 22x29 ft basement had water damage, there were storage boxes stuck to the basement floor. George and his assistant were able to remove all damaged items, including large furniture and mattresses, in 2 hrs. They had their own vehicle so I didn't have to worry about disposal. 12 years of junk has been removed and I can now see my basement floor. I appreciate the professionalism and the reasonable rate!"

"Ok. but there was poor communication from the office. The plumber did not arrive as quickly as expected. Also, the plumber was not wearing a mask and did not offer to wear a mask even though we had ours on."

"I left a message on Bob's phone for an estimate.  He responded within hours.  We discussed in detail over the phone the repairs I was needing.  He gave me a verbal estimate on the phone and scheduled an appointment to see the work and schedule the job date.  He was able to visit my home the next week and after seeing the job, he confirmed the amount discussed over the phone.  He got to work the next day, and even fit in the installation of a garbage disposal that broke the night before he arrived.  He did a fabulous job!  I had an invoice in the mail the following Monday, which was right on target and budget as agreed.  I will definately use Bob Goodman of Lighthouse Handyman in the future.

"I was pleased with the job, but afterwards I realized that some jewelry from my bed size table was missing. They did the master bedroom bathtub. I recommend you not leave any valuables out. They really had no business on the other side of my bedroom. They must have used the phone on that bedside table and saw the jewelry that is now missing."

"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!"

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

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 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. 

Garbage disposals can be considered bad for the environment due to their electricity usage, but good for the environment because they reduce the food waste sent to landfills. If everyone used a garbage disposal, it would tax the wastewater treatment facilities in that region, but if we had to choose one of the options, we’d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly. 

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.
