"Ty was the first to respond to my emails through Angie's List for my plumbing project. I had only two other people even reply out of about 12 emails I sent. I knew when he came to my house to look at the job that he was thorough and very knowledgable. I had an instant trust in his character and workmanship, but I obtained other bids because I was encouraged to do so. The other men didn't compare to Ty in any way. I am so thankful I was fortunate enough to have Ty do the bathroom conversion because I know the job was done right and I was not over charged.

"Zach is one of those men you have a good feeling about the moment you speak to him.  He came to give me an estimate a few days after I spoke with him and it was very reasonable.  He and his crew of two others were so incredibly nice when they arrived.  I had initially just needed the gas line for the kitchen range.  The day before they were to arrive, I had a dishwasher delivered by Home Depot that was not able to be installed.  I called Zach and left him a message asking if he could install the dishwasher as well.  So with hardly any notice, they stayed an extra hour and did that as well.  I was very happy with the work they completed and with how pleasant they all were.  I will definitely be using All Ways for all my future plumbing needs!  Honest and hard working!  Thanks guys!!

"Extremely well. Agent visited my premises, then apartment building, then my daughter’s house, the destination of some furniture. Removed larger used articles for disposal at dump. Three men moved upright piano up 28 steps. Throughout 10-hour move, the crew remained upbeat and energetic."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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.

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. 

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.
