"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!"

"John was very professional and informative. We had already had a couple of plumbers from other companies look at our issue with no resolution. John was thorough in examining the problem, explaining our issues, and resolving them. We could tell we were getting quality service. Thank you!"

"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."

"Wanted to fix the problem caused by large Pine and Magnolia Tree leaves continually clogging gutters causing periodic water damage. Decided to install good quality Gutter Guards and fix the current water damage.
Al kept me informed at least a day in advance of his schedule and arrived when promised which I appreciated.
Below are some of the task I watch Al and his brother do and was very happy with the quality I saw.
Gutter Guards
Pressure washer cleaned gutter, downspouts, and surrounding area.
Removed gutters and installed metal protection on fascia board where needed
Adjusted gutter angle to make sure water drained correctly on all sides
Installed and screwed in Guards on all the Gutters to keep in place
Added Metal End caps to prevent squirrels and bird access to gutters.
Corrected a Gutter Problem that caused leaves and debris to collect and build up at one section of the roof allowing water to
flow over sides.
  Back Exterior Jalousie Door Replace
Bought Solid Core Door and cut to exact size of
old door
Cut out center for the Jalousie windows from the
old door
Primed (Weather Proofed) door on all external
surfaces
Installed the Jalousie Windows from old door
Set Door in place and adjusted for perfect fit
Installed new Aluminum Door Sweep and adjusted
for fit.
Installed and tested new electronic lock
60x56 Jalousie Window Frame Repair
Removed Rotting wood at base and along sides

Sent Pictures of how the Gutter install looked
like from above the roof.
Alerted to other problems (Chimney, Tuck
pointing) I did not know about.
Today is 1-July-2014 and three storms have come through since installation and I have seen none of the problems I had before the guards were installed. Normally I would be cleaning out the clogged down spouts!!

I was very happy with the results and consider the money well spent.

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.

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. 

As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with proper care and maintenance, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.

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.

Never put glass in the garbage disposal. It can damage your disposal or eject shards of glass out of the disposal and cause injury. If you get broken glass in your garbage disposal, turn it off and cut the power from the breaker, use a tool like pliers or tongs to remove the glass, and use a wet-dry vacuum to remove the remaining glass pieces. If you can’t access the disposal safely, call a garbage disposal repair pro.
