"Miller and his colleagues were able to do a lot of things quickly. Along with everything else, they also grabbed some old furniture that I needed help moving to the curb. They took several cares to make sure nothing was damaged during the move, including wrapping the furniture, turning off all the lights, and packaging the picture frames."

Hi! I'm Scott. I'm a 41 year old husband, Christian, and father of 4 beautiful daughters. I own and operate Zephyr Signs and Apparel, Flow & Grow Aquatics and Leaf Healthy Microgreens. I have always been a jack of all trades, fixing, remodeling, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, flooring, lighting, organization, property maintenance, landscaping. You name it, I do it. I even service and maintain fish tanks and gardens!\n\nI live near South Fork just outside of the city of Johnstown PA. I'm dependable, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and I'll be the first person to tell you I can't do a job if I'm not 100% sure of myself. \n\nI'm also great with decorating, cleaning up after pets, home interiors, fixing appliances, automotive work and much more. And with 4 mini Schnauzers I could probably even help out with some dog training 😂😂😂\n\nGet in touch today and you'll make a friend if nothing else. \n\nIt'll get fixed when you get "Around To It" 💪

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

Soil is just one of the items you shouldn't put down a garbage disposal. Garbage disposals are only meant for soft, non-fibrous foods. Large amounts of topsoil, dirt, or rocks will damage the blades of your garbage disposal or clog the pipes. If a small amount of dirt goes down the drain as you repot a plant, you shouldn't have to worry, but never dump a whole pot of soil in the sink for fast disposal.

On average, it takes one to four hours for a professional to install a garbage disposal. This includes removing the old unit, taking necessary measurements for positioning, removing and fitting new pipes, and installing the brand-new disposal system. If there are unforeseen issues, such as accessibility concerns, the process takes longer.

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. 

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.

On average, a garbage disposal can last anywhere from 7 to 12 years, with many models functioning well for about 10 years. With heavy usage, a motor may last a minimum of five years, while grinding plates will wear down over time. It's generally a good idea to consider a replacement if your unit is approaching the 10-year mark. Other signs that it's time for a new disposal include frequent leaks, persistent clogs, lingering odors, lack of power, or unusual noises. If your unit is not that old, it's worth investigating if a less expensive part, like a rubber seal or a loose hose, is causing the issue.
