"I've worked with the team at Ortega for more than 5 years for projects at both my home and a rental property. Work has included installation of new heating/cooling package unit, water heater installation/replacement (2), evaporative cooler installation, and miscellaneous heating and plumbing repairs. They are always quick to respond and get the job done as promised and per their estimate. Highly recommend."

"Kevin and his associate were very professional in every way. The sink drain pipe was fixed quickly, and the cabinet rebuilt on a separate trip. Extra flexible piping was used in the drain pip repair to prevent the cracking from re-occurring. I appreciate his competence and willingness to discuss all the aspects of the job. I would definitely call KSM again.

"My washer suddenly wouldn't drain so I checked with Angie's list on Sunday night. Early Monday morning ABC Appliance Repair called, an appointment was made for later that morning. Adrian showed up on time, and found out that I needed a new pump. He said that he'd pick one up & they'd call to set up an appointment for after the holidays. Well, he ended up having some time at the end of the day and came back to fix my washer. I definitely will use them again. Adrian was thorough in his explanations of what repairs needed to be done, was diligent & hard working. He cleaned up when he finished and was very respectful. It's great to find a local company that works hard, has fair pricing, and shows the utmost respect for their clients."

"Alvin did a great job. I have an older home so we ran into a couple of problems with a leak between the time that he left and the time he was scheduled to come back. He came out as quickly as he could and fix the problem and then again to install the dishwasher and garbage disposal. He not only showed up on time but early to accommodate my schedule. It ran into a little more money than I had hoped but less than other estimates from reputable plumbers.

"Service was excellent. Carlos (with an assistant) did the work and was able to pinpoint the leak within less than 2 hours. This company is professional, prompt, thorough, and highly skilled. The price might seem a little steep but worth every penny. I would definitely recommend them."

"I scheduled the appointment from 11a-1pm. Around 11:15 I called Budget a very nice lady explained that he had an appointment all the way across town but that he was on his way and should arrive shortly. Damion arrived at 11:30, very nice & polite, I showed him all the leaks and stuff that needed to be fixed, leaving the garbage disposal. I honestly didn't think he'd have time to get to it all. He moved so fast, he would have had it all done in an hour if he didn't have to run to Home Depot to get a special part for my toilet (he said he usually had one but the appointment before me had the same problem w/their toilet & he used the last one on them). I was very pleased and impressed with the service.

"Contractor keep appointment (even though there were 2 or 3 calls expressing confusion about time and day); installed the drywall and cleaned the area.   The drywall installation was not smooth and when textured looked amateurish at best.  Before I could paint I had to sand several areas and apply canned texture-not the most professional look but time was a factor.  the next time the wall is painted will require extensive prep work to make it look professional.
Good things: appointment keep; work was done as explained; no extra charges.
Not so good: Technician was not a drywall guy.

"They showed up on time and were done with the install in one and half hours. before they took off, they checked the area for tools, bits of scrap, and left the area clean. They installed an XV80 two stage furnace. I have been using them for several years now, they are very good at what they do. Yes, I will continue using them. I will be changing out the outside unit in a year or two. I have recommended them several times."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

In some cases, it’s more cost-effective in the long run to replace a garbage disposal, but it depends on the specific issue you’re having and the age of your disposal. You should ask a garbage disposal repair tech for a quote to repair your appliance and then see if it would be more worthwhile to replace it. Additionally, garbage disposals last for around 15 years, so if you know your appliance is reaching that age, it’s likely better to pay for a new garbage disposal rather than sink money into repairs.

While unplugging your garbage disposal and plugging it back in may help, most units have an actual reset button, a bright red switch found on the underside of your unit. If your garbage disposal needs resetting, you may notice this button sticking out about a quarter of an inch from the surface of the unit, with which it’s usually flush. Simply depress this reset button to reset the unit, and then test to ensure it’s working about 10 minutes later.

If your garbage disposal powers up and you can hear it hum, but the arms inside aren’t moving, the problem might be a stubborn clog, a build-up of grease, or a jam of the impeller plate. To troubleshoot these, ensure your unit is off and disconnected from its power source before checking inside the drain or attempting to manually rotate the impeller arms or plate from the underside of the unit. A hex wrench can help.

To prevent drain clogs, perform regular maintenance and cleaning. Avoid disposing of substances like grease or coffee grounds down the sink. Additionally, installing and routinely using drain strainers can help catch debris and prevent blockages from forming.

The two main negatives of garbage disposals are they are a safety hazard in homes with children, and they frequently encounter blockage issues. While they might be annoying to fix and monitor, garbage disposals can significantly lower your trash use and are a great way to dispose of organic waste. While there are negatives, the vast majority of homeowners acknowledge the positives are enough to install a disposal in their home.
