"This involved a crane to haul a five ton and a three ton combo unit onto our roof, reconfigure the exhaust and intake ducts to match our system and install new electrical lines and new thermostats. The job took two days as promised and it went as smooth as silk. I will hire them again for anything to do with HVAC or plumbing."

"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.

"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.

"Steve and Ray did a fantastic job locating a leak below the cement slab of our 2064 square foot one story house. The leak was really hard to find because it was 3 feet below the slab, but they persevered and drew a box on the slab within 2 or 3 feet of the actual leaks, there were 2 leaks a foot apart in the copper pipe. I think they used every method at their disposal to find the leak, including gas injection, sound listening, temperature, air blowing out through holes they drilled, etc.. Even though it took multiple days, they charged us the quoted price. Their communication was the best I've ever experienced, answering emails within 30 minutes even at 10 pm, and phone calls were either answered or returned within 5 minutes. They always came at the exact time they quoted, and sometimes a little early.  For tough leak locating, they rock!

"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.

"They complete the work in the cleanest possible way. They have been very honest and I have had no additional problem with everything they have repaired from my sprinklers, to installing a brand new sink, or replacing the hot water heater."

"I cannot praise this business highly enough! My swamp cooler died on me, so I called PHC on Friday, they had a technician out at my house to look at my system and give me a free estimate by the following Monday. I was able to order the swamp cooler I wanted, and have it installed by the end of the week. It was very affordable, and everyone I talked to throughout this process was pleasant and professional, and they took the time to answer any questions I had. I will be going to PHC Systems for all of my heating and cooling needs in the future."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

Soil is just one of the items you shouldn't put down a garbage disposal. Garbage disposals are only meant for soft, non-fibrous foods. Large amounts of topsoil, dirt, or rocks will damage the blades of your garbage disposal or clog the pipes. If a small amount of dirt goes down the drain as you repot a plant, you shouldn't have to worry, but never dump a whole pot of soil in the sink for fast disposal.

The most common garbage disposal size in the U.S. is 1/2 horsepower. This size is ideal for households with three or fewer people or those that don't produce much food waste. Although 1/2 horsepower can't handle the typical food waste load for a household of four (which is about 250 pounds of food waste annually) as effectively as 3/4 horsepower, it remains the most common size of garbage disposal on the market.

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.

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.

Never put glass in the garbage disposal. It can damage your disposal or eject shards of glass out of the disposal and cause injury. If you get broken glass in your garbage disposal, turn it off and cut the power from the breaker, use a tool like pliers or tongs to remove the glass, and use a wet-dry vacuum to remove the remaining glass pieces. If you can’t access the disposal safely, call a garbage disposal repair pro.
