"Billy, from Devlin's specializing in finding leaks! We had the contractor and the plumbing service that installed our master bathroom come and find a leak that was affecting our main floor guest room below.  After 1 week, removing ceiling dry wall and $1,300 later, they couldn't find the leak.  When I called Devlin, they sent Billy because he knows his way around leaks.  Billy took a look around for about 5mins and figured it out  - he is the best!!!  Professionally sealed the area and done in about 30mins, clean and professional."

"We have a one-year home warranty (we purchased our house within the past year) and when we had plumbing issues one Sunday afternoon (water started flowing out of the toilet and onto the floor) our warranty company contracted with Triangle Plumbing and Backflow to come address the issue. Even though it was one a Sunday, Eric showed up within a few hours and immediately go to work resolving the issue. Unlike some of the negative reviews below (once I knew what company was coming I researched them and started to get worried) Eric was very clear about the issues and potential costs. He let us know that if he could fix it outside the house, it would be covered by our warranty but that if he had to remove a toilet to access the blockage, the warranty would not cover it and he broke down the costs for us. Despite my wife nor I knowing where the access point was closest to the house, Eric got out a shovel and estimated where it would be and started digging under some shrubbery to find the access point. As it was already past 8:00 on a Sunday night and the temperature was just over freezing, he could have said he'd come back another day or immediately moved to the more expensive approach from reaching the plumbing inside the house. Eric clearly knew what he was doing because he found the access point within minutes (it had been buried about 8" by the previous owner) and promptly resolved the issue, explaining how it happened and helping us avoid it in the future. We found Eric to be prompt, courteous, and willing to go the extra mile/step to help us. While we had never used this company before (or known them) we will be using them in the future.
Unrelated to this, while talking to Eric we learned of a flat-fee plumbing inspection they complete to help with preventive issues in your home (I think Angie's List has a coupon for it). I wish we had known about that prior to purchasing our home as we could have utilized them during the home inspection and saved us several hundred dollars in plumbing repairs that the inspector did not catch. Based upon Eric's professionalism and experience, for anyone purchasing a home, I would recommend they use this service as part of their inspection process - I know I wish we had (it would not have caught the issue we had but it would have caught several others that we had once we started living in the home).

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.

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. 

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.

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.

These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.
