Welcome to Russell's and American Mechanical where WE CAN FIX THAT! We offer residential plumbing, HVAC, electrical, generator, and gas line service throughout Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake and the surrounding cities in Hampton Roads. Same day emergency services, priority membership service and the best customer service! Our mission is to provide the highest quality workmanship from professionals you can trust, and our motto is if you have a problem: "We can fix that for you!" Popular Services: - Heating Repair/Installs - A/C Repair/Installs - Drain Unclogging (Clearing) - Water Heater Repairs/Installation - Electrician Repair/Install - Generator Installs

"Buyer beware - they charge over $400/hour for labor. For a company as well known and as â reputableâ as American Mechanical, we had higher expectations for their level of service. There is a high end AC unit in our home, still covered under warranty, installed by American Mechanical only 3 years ago. Our AC went out Monday, 6/28. We asked for a quote on diagnostic fee before we had them come out, it was reasonable around $80-90. Technician came out that afternoon, troubleshooted, cleared the lines and replaced the Thermostat (covered under warranty). Our verbal quote went from â around $300â to â around $700â after more diagnosing, to exactly $1,469.00 when we saw it in writing. The tech left with the intent of returning the following day to replace an ACF board. An hour after the tech left, our AC cut off. This tells us the work he did, was not the root cause of the issue. On 6/29 he returned to replace one part (ACF Board - also covered under warranty) for an additional $286.50 in labor. He assured us the unit was functioning at 100%. To date, weve paid $1,755.50 in labor, for an AC unit that is apparently covered under warranty. An hour after the tech left on 6/29, the AC cut off again - telling us the root cause was never found. Since Monday, 6/28 we have been asking for an itemized invoice outlining parts vs. labor and they have refused to provide since this â isnâ t something they doâ so we donâ t know what exactly weâ ve paid for. We had another company come out Wednesday, 6/30 for a second opinion; from the beginning, they called Trane Tech Support to troubleshoot (something American Mechanical never did). All HVAC techs have repeatedly said our unit is high end, high tech so I appreciate the new company going straight to the source instead of executing trial and error at our expense. This new company was able to solve the issue in half the time for half the price and our AC has been working fine ever since. Since American Mechanical never solved the problem and weâ ve paid them nearly $1,800 for weâ re not sure what, we have repeatedly called since 6/28 for the following: (1) an itemized invoice, (2) photos indicating WHY the thermostat and the ACF Board needed to be replaced and (3) a manager willing to accept accountability. We have received none of these things. It is 7/4 and we still havenâ t heard from the service manager. They are now avoiding our calls (manager always seems to be busy when we call), not returning our messages and weâ re simply PLEADING for them to do what is right. Im happy to adjust my review if they hold themselves accountable and accept responsibility. While they have several positive reviews, theres a chance this could also happen to you. Save your money and trust us when we say TAKE YOUR HVAC BUSINESS ELSEWHERE. Theyre capable of doing this to anyone."

Thanks for contacting Surf Side Construction & Renovation, LLC, we have been specializing in residential construction for over 26 years. We have the experience and the knowledge to get the job done right the first time. The next time you need help call Surf Side Construction & Renovation, LLC, to see what we can do for you.

"This husband and wife team is first rate. We had a banking issue at the start of our project. They could have easily said it wasn't their responsibility to help me retrieve the money, but they didn't. They created a loyal customer as a result. And the work quality was second to none. I got quotes from two other providers but theirs was the best in terms of scope definition and price. The only thing I would like to see is more responsive comms, but I also understand how hard it is to balance "front office" work with the project work for a small business. And David works 7 days a week. If he makes a project commitment, he keeps it. They are delightful people who I am looking forward to working with again."

Garbage Disposal Repair questions, answered by experts

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. 

Garbage disposals last an average of seven years but can function well past 10 years. However, as time goes on and more food is ground, the grinding plates will slowly lose their edge and need replacing. A motor likely won’t last 10 or more years, but you should be able to get a minimum of five years at least, even under heavy usage. 

These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly when you replace your garbage disposal. Make sure you shut the power off to the area first and check that it’s off with a voltage detector. Disconnect the main drain line and P-trap, and then disconnect the dishwasher drain line if you have one connected. You can then unscrew your garbage disposal using a disposal wrench. Just make sure you disconnect the electrical lines before removing your appliance.

Continuous feed garbage disposals are the favorite model for many homeowners for a reason. As opposed to batch feed models, add food scraps to the drain whenever the disposal is running. This variety is also typically less expensive, more convenient, and easier to clean.

It’s one thing that helps, alongside vinegar and baking soda. Ice acts as an exfoliant, helping to lift off any bits of food stuck on the disposal blades.
