Q: What tool is used to reset a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Most garbage disposals have a reset button that can be triggered with a tool as simple and accessible as your index finger.

Q: How long does it take to install a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>On average, it takes one to four hours for a professional to install a garbage disposal.

If there are unforeseen issues, such as accessibility concerns, the process takes longer.</p></div>

Q: Why does my garbage disposal have power but won’t spin?

• <div><p>If your garbage disposal powers up and you can hear it hum, but the arms inside aren&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: Why is my garbage disposal not draining?

• <div><p>Your garbage disposal is not draining because it might have a clog due to food waste, a foreign object, grease, oil, fat, or it may have a broken motor. When water doesn't flush out of the disposal, that's a key sign that your disposal has a clog or needs repair. </p></div>

Clean job, reasonably priced. I appreciate that they made themselves available for additional requests (had more to paint than originally planned, refreshing an older home). Some holes needed spackling and sanding, they're invisible now!

"We live in Florida and hired H&K to haul away all the contents of our camp, cabin, and property in Caroga, NY. They had a tough job ahead of them. The camp was set at the bottom of a hill, so they had to haul everything uphill. In the midst of removing everything they encountered snow, rain, and cold temperatures. They did a beautiful job. They completed the entire job in 4 days and were communicative throughout. I would highly recommend this company and would do business again with them!"
