"Very smooth install. Ed was nice, personable, and timely. He installed the solar lights efficiently and correctly. And they function perfectly. Fee was very reasonable as well. He’s agreed to install similar lights next weekend at our daughter’s home located about 10 minutes away. We’re in the market for a new handyman, so would not hesitate to contact Ed again. Thank you."
"Tommy is the best! Christmas Day my finished basement had particles of food and water on the carpet! The next morning I called Tommy, not only was he responsive but also sympathetic. He rearranged his schedule and came out that morning. He cleared the clog and also taught be a lot about what shouldn't go down a garbage disposal. I highly recommend him!!"
"It took a few phone calls to get to speak to Lori (she was at lunch when I was calling), but once I got her on the phone, I was very pleased. She was helpful in explaining how they priced their work and answering my questions, much more so than anyone else I called. She promptly set up an appointment for a time convenient for us. The repair person was on time and did the work promptly. On the first visit he was only able to install the garbage disposal, kitchen faucet, and ice maker, as the other repairs required parts he didn't have with him. They said that they'd call for a follow up appointment once they had pricing for the parts needed. They didn't call back, so I had to call them on Friday of the next week. Lori said that the parts were in and wanted to schedule an appointment. My husband was annoyed that they didn't call with the prices, but I figured we had to have the work done anyway. It would have been nice if they had called me, though, instead of my having to follow up with them. A different plumber came for the second appointment. He was early, which was nice. Unfortunately, as he wasn't the one who did the initial assessment, he had to leave to get different parts than what he was told to bring. That was a bit annoying because I ended up paying for the time he spent driving back and forth, when I thought he should've come with everything he needed. In the end, everyone we dealt with was courteous, pleasant and the plumbers did great work. I would definitely use this company again. Lori was very responsive to my questions, and flexible with appointment scheduling. She even corrected a billing error before processing my credit card (saving me from being overcharged)."
"He was on time, professional, courteous, and friendly. He explained everything as he worked and was clear about pricing before he performed anything. As a rental manager I would highly recommend Drainco and I will be using them again."
"Joe answered the phone on a Sunday afternoon and set the appointment for the next day. He was punctual and went straight to work. The replacement of the faucet, garbage disposal and sink went well without any hiccups. He also found a link in the main drain and repaired it. We purchased a "big deal" and he completed the work in the time within the time frame. We would definitely use Joe again for our plumbing needs! "
"They were very professional. They came out and tried to snake my kitchen sink. They weren't able to do so and said they needed to install new drain pipe. They quoted me with one days work and ~1k. They were a second opinion because Benjamin Franklin tried to charge me 3k! They were beyond friendly and helpful and listened to my concerns. The drain pipe was installed within a day!! I will call this company for all of my drain issues from now on!!"
Mr. Stephens was on time and very very polite and courteous.
Mr. Stephens and his associate, moved within the house very professionally to bring in the materials they needed to remove the old sump pump and to install the new one. Then they did a great job in cleaning up. Also Mr. Stephens took time to explain and to demonstrate the new battery backup sump pump answering all my questions and concerns.
Also he helped repair the pipes for the sink and washer and then installed a new shower head.
He was so professional and friendly that he will be the plumber for this house for as long as I live here
"Installer and helpful arrived in a timely manner, and the installer was particularly polite. He re-rolled the supplies into mini-rolls for ease of use, and he alone did the installation. The helper was there mostly to move boxes."
"We call them every time we have a plumbing issue. They are pretty much our regular plumbers. If the garbage disposal doesn?t work or for any other issue, we have them help us out. I actually called them for a quote 2-3 years ago, and they honored that quote. They were amazing. They showed up when they were supposed to. They left some spots on my carpet."
Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts
Never put glass in the garbage disposal. It can damage your disposal or eject shards of glass out of the disposal and cause injury. If you get broken glass in your garbage disposal, turn it off and cut the power from the breaker, use a tool like pliers or tongs to remove the glass, and use a wet-dry vacuum to remove the remaining glass pieces. If you can’t access the disposal safely, call a garbage disposal repair pro.
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.
There are many maintenance and repair issues that lead to a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Regular clogs place wear and tear on the motors, leading to an eventual shutdown. Electrical issues at the breaker, wall outlet, or disposal itself can fry the unit. The most common cause is simply a worn-down motor. These motors can only handle so much use before powering down for good.
It’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.
As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with proper care and maintenance, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.
