Get matched with top garbage collectors in Genoa, OH

Q: What is the most common size garbage disposal?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can I DIY garbage disposal installation?

• <div><p>You may be able to install a garbage disposal on your own, especially if you're handy or have some experience with plumbing. However, if you have any concerns or want to make absolutely sure that the connections are installed correctly, you may be better off hiring a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/install-garbage-disposal/">local garbage disposal installer</a> to do the job. </p></div>

Q: What is the main problem that happens to garbage disposals?

• <div><p>The main issue with garbage disposals is clogging. This can mean a clogging of the pipes that expel the food along with water, or a clogging of the mechanical parts themselves. The problem lies in the solution because you can&rsquo;t easily see clogs if they&rsquo;re inside the system, and reaching in to dislodge stuck items is a risky proposal. Call a pro and ask what they would do, but if you can&rsquo;t see the clog easily, and running the unit won&rsquo;t free it, you need to let a professional handle the fix. </p></div>

Q: How do you remove a garbage disposal mounting bracket?

• <div><p>Once you have your garbage disposal disconnected, you can remove the mounting bracket by unscrewing the bolts that are holding the bracket. You can back them out just enough to pop off the snap ring, which prevents the bottom portion of the bracket from disconnecting from the top when you unscrew the bolts. Use a regular screwdriver to pop off the snap ring, and the rest of the components should fall off by themselves.</p></div>

Q: Does ice clean a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s one thing that helps, alongside vinegar and baking soda. Ice acts as an exfoliant, helping to lift off any bits of food stuck on the disposal blades.</p></div>

Customers say: True professional

"2 workers came out right on schedule, got busy right away and did an excellent job. In two hours time they ground out and tuck pointed all the problem spots around the brick foundation walls. A lot of good, necessary work completed in two hours time. This is a 100 year old home that has been lacking in necessary Maintenance for some time. My intention is to have this same crew back for further inspection and work when I can get the large shrubs removed from the front of the house. I Give this company and this work crew all thumbs up. They completed all work as promised."
