"Just had this done in Feb 2019. Turns out vendor who I used then didn't clean any of the solid waste from cesspool . He only drained fluids. Had same overflow problem again this weekend and was pretty mad. Call Mid Suffolk and was greeted very professionally and kindly on phone by Christine on Saturday night Sept 14th 2019. Was told her husband Bob would show up Sunday morning. He did at 11am and provided much need excellent service and advice. Completely serviced both pools for a reasonable price. Was neat and would call again without any second thought."

"We priced out dumpsters and initially, the dumpsters looked like the way to go but upon reading the fine print, we realized they would have cost more than a bullbag. Each dumpster was about $150-$200 BUT each ONLY included up to 1 ton of material, and the companies would charge me an additional $85/ton over it. The bullbag price was NOT based on weight but rather just filling the bag to the top of the bag. The bullbag not only saved me money, but the people were nice to deal with, but everything they said, they actually did. We have a house on the Cape and we will use them there too in March. We were told up front that there would be an additional $75 fee because of the location, but it is STILL cheaper and easier than a metal dumpster."

"John was right on time, knew his business, did the install in a timely fashion, and the price quoted over the phone was the price we paid. Very happy with the work performed and would recommend and use again."

"Longer than expected because the vanity I purchased from Wayfair was damaged. Dan and his crew were great. Always left my house clean and tidy and they did the job required for the day. Dan was always responsive, even while he was on vacation. I would use Island Homecraft again."

"It went well - recharged 2 lbs for extra cash. Two months later I called back and complained about the overflow of condensation. No response, and response was poor. They did not attend to the emergency - probably a 1 man show. I went with another contractor, and the work was performed to my satisfaction. . I will never use them again -"

"My plumber, Mark, was extremely professional, communicative, and did excellent work. He went out of his way to work around my schedule and explain every step of the process to me. The new install was done quickly and was certainly done better than whoever installed the last one. I would absolutely recommend MFS for anyone looking for a plumber."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

On average, it takes one to four hours for a professional to install a garbage disposal. This includes removing the old unit, taking necessary measurements for positioning, removing and fitting new pipes, and installing the brand-new disposal system. If there are unforeseen issues, such as accessibility concerns, the process takes longer.
