"Bob took the time to come to our home and review everything with us and give us options on what needed to be done. There were no high-pressure sale techniques, just multiple options and his professional recommendation. Bob's team was top-notch. They were on time and very focused on ensuring the job was done right. They even performed a great cleanup each day they were here, which was a nice surprise. Our roof looks great and we know it's also secure now after the storm."

"They came within 24 hours and were able to get my air conditioning working the same day. They determined that the freon needed to be charged. The person we talked to on the phone and the technician that came out were both professional and helpful. They were clear about the cost and the timing. The only surprise was that they were able to fix it sooner than what they estimated."

"The person is basically a good worker, but he went on his own and he is not ready for that. He made mistakes that he should not have made. It made him do more work and caused me aggravation. He left damaged tiles on the floor and thought I wouldn't see it, which is silly. He put the wrong toilet then. He did things that were thoughtless, in other words not organized very well. He worked hard and did a nice job of putting in the tiles, but he was not ready to oversee his work. I did make him change the toilet because it was the wrong toilet. I had spent a lot of money on it and it needed to be the right way. He finally saw that and was very upset when I put the stop payment on the check. That was mostly because he did not do the job carefully. The price was competitive."

"I very much appreciated the honest approach and straight forward solution. I thought I was going to have to have major work done to the basement walls and it turned out that it was just a matter of my gutters not properly draining the water away from the foundation. Thanks to Kevan and Drain Designs of Akron Canton for fixing my problem and saving me tons of money!"

"Extremely well done overall installation process for our new AO Smith Proline 50-gallon electric water heater. Installation was thorough, clean and effective. We had hot water in about an hour. We also have had no sulfur smell issues, whatsoever, even with an older 60-ft shallow well supply source. The new OA Smith electric unit is working perfectly. The combination of Lake Construction and the OA Smith water heater is a good one."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

Continuous feed garbage disposals are the favorite model for many homeowners for a reason. As opposed to batch feed models, add food scraps to the drain whenever the disposal is running. This variety is also typically less expensive, more convenient, and easier to clean.

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.

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. 

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.

These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.
