"My basement drain was backing up and draining very slowly.  What should have been a straightforward process (pull toilet, maybe camera, clean drain, re-install toilet) turned in to a 4 day ordeal, requiring 3 visits.  The issue was incorrectly diagnosing the problem twice -- first he thought is was a vent issue, then he thought it was a septic tank issue.  This caused a lot of extra, unnecessary work for me.  Ty's attitude on the 3rd trip was definitely different than the first 2, and not in a good way.  After the drain was finally cleaned out on the 3rd trip and the toilet re-installed, the toilet hold-down screws were left way too long for the plastic covers -- a detail that should have been taken care of.  Ty seems like a good guy, but after my experience, I have to question his knowledge and diagnostic abilities.  On the bright side, his prices are more than reasonable and he responded quickly when I called him."

"Great! The team was on time, even a few minutes early, and ready to get to work. They quickly unloaded the POD, but then also assembled a bed frame, unwrapped the plastic film on my upholstered furniture and took away all boxes, plastic and trash that was ready to go when they left. The guys were friendly, efficient and great. Would definitely recommend Budget Pro!"

"They were very efficient and came when they said. Did a great job replacing our downspouts and gutters. They also installed a French drain and redirected water from house. Also reasonable cost. I would highly recommend and so pleased we found them."

"Excellent work. Replaced storm door on the same day the job was requested. Very competent and made sure everything met my satisfaction. A sl8ght problem with the lower door seal came up the next morning. Called them and Jarad said they fully guaranteed their work and they would be out on Monday (called on Saturday morning)morning to correct the problem. Had some problems with the credit care payment going through the processor, but Jarad was extremely patient and cooperative in fixing the problem. Overall, I highly recommend C&S Construction & Handyman Services for any jobs you have."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

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.

Replacing a garbage disposal costs anywhere from $150 to $950, but the average cost is somewhere around $550. There are two types of garbage disposal units, and continuous feed disposals tend to cost more than batch feed disposals. Going for an aluminum garbage disposal is also significantly cheaper than choosing a stainless steel garbage disposal. You'll also need to factor in the horsepower of the motor, labor, and the removal and disposal of your old unit.

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.
