"It went well! I expected it to take a long time to get it picked up, but I called for the bag to be emptied on Friday and they were here Saturday! I am already filling it up again. (We have a MESS from the storm and need to finish the kitchen before this weekend's company coming in from out of town.) I have already called them to request my bag be emptied on Friday, and they have me on the schedule! I can't believe the customer service is so great! This is not a regular dumpster company. I have a dumpster delivered last summer and they gouged my driveway. What a nightmare it was to get them to pay for the driveway to be fixed. NEVER AGAIN! It's BullBag only for our future needs."
"I contacted Finesse for price quote on removing a refrigerator and stove from a basement. I received a prompt response from them and a very reasonable price quote for what I needed done. I also appreciated being further contacted on their availability. If I get a future opportunity for using their service I will not hesitate in contacting them again."
"After using just about every local plumber -- with various degrees of success and satisfaction -- while living in our house for over 40 years, we were referred to Pride Plumbing by a water damage company after a leak was detected in our living room ceiling. Within days, we received an on-site inspection and written estimate of the work that was needed to be done to a radiator and pipe leading down to the ceiling. We were expecting a large family gathering for Thanksgiving in a matter of days and needed the ceiling repaired quickly. Pride worked magic with their scheduling and was able to complete the job -- expertly and efficiently -- just in the nick of time. The team couldn't have been nicer, friendlier, or more professional. Pride Plumbing now has a customer for life!"
"I highly recommend Robert and his sons. They were extremely professional in getting my basement back to normal after severe water damage. They were timely and got the job done efficiently. Robert is great at communicating through phone/text and came back to my house to check on the progress every day for 5 straight days. Cost of job was very reasonable and they delivered on everything he promised. After they left, my basement looked as new as the day we moved into the house, completely dry, clean and smelled great. Can't thank them enough for their excellent service. "
"You never know how a day is going to go. On Sunday 3-23 I flushed the toilet in the downstairs bathroom. What came back was a gurgling noise and some bubbles. After having issues in the past since buying our home two years ago, I suspected the worst. My wife tried to plunge the toilet with no luck. During the process we noticed water coming out from the bottom of the commode. , The seal was broken. My wife removed the toilet and we went out to Lowes to get a seal kit and ring. When we came back we noticed the water in the waist pipe was still high. Then we tried to snake the line to no avail. We decided service was needed. It was 6 pm on Sunday. Roto Rooter offered service the next day. We checked Angies List and found All-Ways Sewer and Drain. I spoke to Mike the owner right away and explained my issue. He stated that he would call me back in 5 minutes. When he called back he stated he would be at our home by 9pm. Mike was very prompt. Mike first tried to get the sewer cap off the line to no avail. So desperate measures were needed. Mike explained that he will have to get the sewer cap off by hitting it with a hammer. Water came spraying out of the sewer cap hitting the floor and we provided them with some garbage cans. After the water was out of the line Mike attempted to snake out the line with his equipment. After about an hour Mike advised us that it didnt look good but he would update us. Then he tried to open the line with high pressure water. That didn't work either. Mike then put a camera down the line. The sewer line was corroded to the point in which water was barely passing through. The lines would have to be replaced. Mike explained the price of the service and exactly what he would do. But it would have to be done in the morning. My wife and I went to a relative to sleep due to the smell of sewage in the home. Mike showed up on time the next day and did the whole job in about 5 hours. He even provided us with a new Slop Sink along with installing the toilet in the downstairs bathroom. The job was well done and his crew even helped with the clean up by shop vacing the basement. The fact that he showed up on a Sunday night and had everything fixed within 24 hours was priceless. Mike is highly recommended. "
"Amtech is the best AC installation around! They are clean, reliable and very professional! They installed 3 units in one day and everything went perfect! They cleaned up and left my house spotless. I recommended them to my family who will be using them also next week. I only have great things to say about this company and recommend them to everyone"
Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts
No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.
However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.
If the cost of repairing a leaking garbage disposal is close to the cost of replacing the disposal, then fixing the unit might not make sense. When deciding if you should repair or replace your garbage disposal, consider the age of your garbage disposal, the cost of the repair, and whether your garbage disposal has had other problems recently to help you decide if the cost of repairing the leak is better than the cost of replacing the disposal.
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.
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.
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.
