Do garbage disposals unscrew?

• <div><p>These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garbage-disposal-repair-and-replacement.htm">when you replace your garbage disposal</a>. 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.</p></div>

Q: Why should I pick a continuous-feed garbage disposal?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How often should you replace a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Garbage disposals can last between 10 and 12 years, so if your unit is pushing its lifespan, it may be a good idea to replace it. If your unit isn&rsquo;t approaching the 10-year mark, try investigating other parts of the disposal to see if there's an affordable repair on the horizon. For example, rubber has a shorter lifespan than 10 years, connections and hoses loosen over time, and sink flanges can cause leaks that have nothing to do with disposals.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to have a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher?

• <div><p>No, you don&rsquo;t <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garbage-disposal-necessary-dishwasher.htm">need a garbage disposal for a dishwasher</a>. A dishwasher will work without a garbage disposal. However, the two appliances pair well and are often installed together. It is rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn&rsquo;t have a garbage disposal, but that doesn&rsquo;t mean it's not possible. Each appliance serves its own purpose. </p></div>

Q: Why does my dishwasher water come up into the sink?

• <div><p>When a dishwasher discharges its wastewater, it uses a pump to quickly move a lot of water. If anything in the drain line or the garbage disposal impedes the high volume of water, it will back up into the sink through the drain or the garbage disposal. Following regular <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-tips-avoid-dishwasher-repair.htm">dishwasher maintenance tips</a> like clearing clogs, keeping them cleared, and occasionally running the disposal will eliminate the problem.</p></div>

Wonderful people to work with! They were very professional and I love my flooring - it's perfect! Exactly what I wanted! I also had them repair some drywall and paint a couple rooms and they did an amazing job. It looks like brand new! I will be hiring them again.

Careful they won't pick up your garbage if it's at all muddy... They will often forget your garbage and leave it where it lays. They only pick it up every other week so if they forget it, you've got garbage for a month! They only provided one trash can for two houses.... Need I go on? Never...
