"Nate was a pleasure to work with. His price for the job was quite reasonable, and the work site was left in good condition. Could have been been better communication about the process of getting the work completed but I'd definitely hire Nate again if I needed more demolition work."

"This company was referred by another contractor. Honestly I use these guys every single job I have now. The owner is a man of integrity and that goes along way with me. I rated this company 5 stars and it’s well deserved."

"They were incredible. They were able to quickly move my furniture, unassmebling the necessary items and keeping track of the parts, reassembling once we arrived to the new house, and brought all the necessary items to do the move. They not only did the move quickly, but took care of my items in the move. None of my furniture was damaged, and I could tell they wanted to do the job right. I was always responded to in a very professional "yes sir," even though that was not ever necessary. They brought straps, blankets, the truck, dollies to move the furniture, effectively everything we needed for the move. If I were you, don't look any further for getting help to move. They got the job done in a single day, which involved a 5-hour drive for my items with 3-hours of loading and unloading each. These guys worked their tails off, I cannot praise them highly enough."

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

While unplugging your garbage disposal and plugging it back in may help, most units have an actual reset button, a bright red switch found on the underside of your unit. If your garbage disposal needs resetting, you may notice this button sticking out about a quarter of an inch from the surface of the unit, with which it’s usually flush. Simply depress this reset button to reset the unit, and then test to ensure it’s working about 10 minutes later.

These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly when you replace your garbage disposal. Make sure you shut the power off to the area first and check that it’s off with a voltage detector. Disconnect the main drain line and P-trap, and then disconnect the dishwasher drain line if you have one connected. You can then unscrew your garbage disposal using a disposal wrench. Just make sure you disconnect the electrical lines before removing your appliance.

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. 

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.

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.
