"After trying to get another A rated company to come to my home and not getting any response after multiple attempts to reach them, I reached out to ABQ Plumbing, Heating and Cooling. They answered my call immediately (no messages had to be left), they had someone scheduled to be there within days (I called on a Friday). The toilet issue was repaired same day as the consultation. Matt, the technician who came out, completed the job quickly and the work was great. He discussed caulking options with me and provided his input on why I may or may not want to do it a specific way and let me decide how I wanted it done. He was scheduled to return the following Monday to complete the work to replace the kitchen Faucet and garbage disposal. He gave input on purchase options with him vs. getting it ourselves and pros and cons of both. We opted to buy our own and have him do the work. He provided some general guidance on brands without pushing any specific one, and guaranteed he could install whatever we purchased. He arrived on-time on the scheduled day, and performed the replacements quickly. He had me test everything to ensure it was to my satisfaction, and specifically pointed out what connections and piping he had to replace, as well as showing me how to do basic user maintenance on my new garbage disposal to help save me money in the future. I highly recommend this company, and Matt is great."

"*Update from story below. I upped the rating I gave them because the owner of the company called me up personally and apologized and their insurance company took care of all the clean up and restoration. The owner is a stand up guy at least and made things right. I dont know if the two employees that messed up this job still work there so I did not recommend the company until I would have that information. Here is the original story... *I needed a company with a jetter to unclog drain. When I called on Friday, they quoted $150 for 2 hours for 2 people, if it goes over 2 hours, $75 more an hour. Made appt. for Monday. They call me Monday morning before coming out, they made a mistake, it is going to be $380-$400 for 2 hours and 2 people. The guy gets here around 10am. He hands me a quote on an iPads going to be $590 for hours and 2 people. (bait and switch?). We settle on $450 :( . Second guy does not get there for about another 1/2 hour. They started jetting around 10:50 when sewage water comes up out of the drain by the fridge. They did nothing to suck it up. They stopped the jetting and watched my wife and I try to mop up gallons of sewage water with one mop and bucket while trying to save furniture boxes, etc. I called my son to bring my wet/dry vac from across town because a mop and bucket would not cut it. They continued to do nothing to help. I was about done sucking up the major parts of water when the 1st guy comes to me (about 1.5 hours of when he got there) and says it is gong to be another hour and if I want cleaning, it is going to now cost almost $800. By then I had a company called ******** ******** there with cleaning/disinfect/sanitizing machines ready to clean. I replied on paying for the cleaning. So they started jetting again (without helping clean or suck up the mess they made) and it unclogged within a couple of minutes while I stood there and sucked out the sewage from the source. Unclogged and done. Everything is a mess. After he tells me the bill with his iPad and says it is $590, I ask him if he was going to clean and charge me for it, how was he going to suck up 25-30 gallons of sewage water... He then says We have a wet/dry vac in the van. I then tell him. You mean to tell me that you could have sucked this sewage water out at the source when you were jetting preventing all this mess. He mumbled something under his mask and then lowered the bill to $450 plus tax. I have called a restoration company (walls, vanities, etc... are going to have to come out, claims it may cost thousands of dollars). I had to call a carpet company to come an clean and sanitize. Bottom line, if these two employees of this company had done their job and used their equipment to suck out the sewage at the source, this negligence caused by their company could have been avoided. Its been 2 days since this happened and no one from their company has reached out to us to help with this clean up or mess. We have all this on video and we are seeking legal advice at this point. My advice for everyone out there would be to steer clear from this company."

"They changed the scheduled time on me twice. They sent inexperienced plumbers who did not unplug my drain and broke my new garbage disposal because they did not install it properly. I have tried to get them to come back to finish clearing my drain and they are giving me a excuses to postpone coming in to finish the job. On a positive note, they did not bill me and said the would not until they fixed the problem. The workers were very kind and well spoken. The mistakes they made were honest mistakes and I think they were willing to correct them."

"Title: Exceptional, trustworthy plumbing — highly recommended Galactic Mechanical & Plumbing exceeded every expectation. After a frustrating runaround with other companies, Jordan drove up from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, waived the trip charge, and quickly diagnosed that I only needed a faucet fixture (not a full sink). He went to Home Depot, installed the new fixture, fixed a few other small issues, and left everything working — all billed fairly for one hour of labor. Jordan was professional, efficient, and honest; Megan in the office was courteous and helpful. As a longtime local with two homes, I’m already planning to use Galactic as my go-to plumber. Highly recommend them for reliable, respectful, and skilled service. Thank you, Jordan."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

While the drain connection for a garbage disposal is nearly universal and fits standard sink drain holes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, the size of the disposal unit itself is not. You must have enough space in the cabinet underneath your sink to accommodate the disposal's housing. A larger model may not fit in a compact cabinet or if the existing plumbing is arranged in an unusual way. Before buying a new garbage disposal, measure the available space under your sink. If you are replacing an old unit, it's often easiest to choose a new model of a similar size.

You may be able to install a garbage disposal on your own, especially if you're handy or have some experience with plumbing. However, if you have any concerns or want to make absolutely sure that the connections are installed correctly, you may be better off hiring a local garbage disposal installer to do the job. 

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.

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. 

As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with proper care and maintenance, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.
