"Hereâ s a polished review based on your input: I cannot recommend Daniel highly enough! He is incredibly trustworthy, reliable, honest, kind, and respectfulâ qualities that are rare to find in a contractor these days. Over the course of several projects, Daniel has consistently exceeded my expectations. He installed cameras around my house, painted walls, shoveled snow, and tackled other tasks with exceptional skill and attention to detail. One of the most reassuring aspects of working with Daniel was knowing I could trust him completely. When my house was vacant for an extended period, he checked on it regularly, giving me much-needed peace of mind. Itâ s clear he takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about his clients, never cutting corners or trying to make a quick buck. If youâ re looking for a handyman who delivers high-quality work with integrity, Daniel is your guy."

Garbage Collection 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.

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.

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.

Garbage disposals can be considered bad for the environment due to their electricity usage, but good for the environment because they reduce the food waste sent to landfills. If everyone used a garbage disposal, it would tax the wastewater treatment facilities in that region, but if we had to choose one of the options, we’d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly. 

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.
