Q: What preventive measures can avoid future drain clogs?

• <div><p>Regular maintenance, such as not disposing of grease or coffee grounds down the sink and routine use of strainers, can prevent clogs.</p></div>

Q: What is the average life span of a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t last 10 or more years, but you should be able to get a minimum of five years at least, even under heavy usage. </p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to fix a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, it&rsquo;s absolutely worth it to repair a garbage disposal, so long as it&rsquo;s eight years old or younger. Once you pass that eight-year threshold, it depends on the issue. If it&rsquo;s a simple jam and the core components remain unaffected, call a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/plumbers/">local plumber</a> for a quick repair. If it seems like the motor is wearing down, spring for a replacement unit. </p></div>

Q: How do you remove a garbage disposal mounting bracket?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What tool is used to reset a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Most garbage disposals have a reset button that can be triggered with a tool as simple and accessible as your index finger. That said, if you need to perform a more in-depth troubleshooting step, like manually moving the arms inside the unit or rotating the impeller plate, a hex wrench is the most common tool you&rsquo;ll need. Most garbage disposals come with a hex wrench.</p></div>

Albuquerque Plumbing, Heating and Cooling sends you a salesman who knows very little about the products you need installed and who gives you a very low estimate. Once they think you are hooked, they begin to add on to the estimate until (in our case) it exceeds three times the original estimate....

Near as I can tell, the work was good. But whereas Big M completed the work in just two hours, the company billed me for eight hours. Roundtrip travel time was 2.5-3.0 hours. Therefore, even counting all travel time, Big M billed me for three extra hours. When I appealed, Big M cut back to one...
