Will my garbage disposal impact my septic tank?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

How can I maximize the life span of my garbage disposal?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-keep-your-garbage-disposal-running.htm">proper care and maintenance</a>, 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.</p></div>

Q: What is the average life span of a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Garbage disposals last an average of seven years but can function well past 10 years. However, as time goes on and more food is ground, the grinding plates will slowly lose their edge and need replacing. A motor likely won&rsquo;t last 10 or more years, but you should be able to get a minimum of five years at least, even under heavy usage. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to replace a garbage disposal?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-s-it-cost-replace-garbage-disposal.htm">Replacing a garbage disposal costs</a> anywhere from <b>$150 to $950</b>, but the average cost is somewhere around<b> $550</b>. There are two types of garbage disposal units, and continuous feed disposals tend to cost more than batch feed disposals. Going for an aluminum garbage disposal is also significantly cheaper than choosing a stainless steel garbage disposal. You'll also need to factor in the horsepower of the motor, labor, and the removal and disposal of your old unit.</p></div>

Q: Why should I pick a continuous-feed garbage disposal?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Wanted a concrete pad but Derek noted major drainage problems. He removed grass and dirt and graded and installed new sod plus the pad. I am very pleased with the work as is the neighborhood!

"We were looking for someone to do a remodel on a poor remodel job in our master bathroom and I got Deepwoods Construction from an online source. Andrew came out to our home and we reviewed what we wanted done and we came back with a prompt and reasonable estimate. He and his partner came out and did an excellent job of correcting the poor workmanship from the previous contractor. The job included removing a pocket door, revising the opening to a cased opening, adding sheet rock, new base and wall texture. I am very pleased with their work, great attitude and timely performance. I would not hesitate to recommend them. My best wishes to them in the future. "
