Q: How can I prevent drain clogs and blockages?

• <div><p>To prevent drain clogs, perform regular maintenance and cleaning. Avoid disposing of substances like grease or coffee grounds down the sink. Additionally, installing and routinely using drain strainers can help catch debris and prevent blockages from forming.</p></div>

Q: How often do garbage disposals break?

• <div><p>Garbage disposals are durable appliances that usually last at least eight years as long as you clean and maintain them. It&rsquo;s relatively rare for a garbage disposal to break on its own, as most malfunctions happen due to user errors, like overstuffing the grinding compartment or damaging the blades by trying to dispose of metal or bone. Eventually, cracks or leaks could develop in the unit, which requires a full replacement. </p></div>

Q: What tool is used to reset a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Most garbage disposals have a reset button that can be triggered with a tool as simple and accessible as your index finger. That said, if you need to perform a more in-depth troubleshooting step, like manually moving the arms inside the unit or rotating the impeller plate, a hex wrench is the most common tool you&rsquo;ll need. Most garbage disposals come with a hex wrench.</p></div>

Q: Can glass go in the garbage disposal?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t access the disposal safely, call a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/garbage-disposal-repair/">garbage disposal repair pro</a>.</p></div>

Q: What should not be put in a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they&rsquo;re not foolproof. There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-not-put-down-garbage-disposal.htm">items you shouldn&rsquo;t put in your garbage disposal</a>, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don&rsquo;t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.</p></div>

"Short Version: When literally every other company said 'no' or never responded, Careful Moves was the only one who not only called me back, they said "yes," every time I called. First job: "Can you move my mom from one assisted living facility to another?" "Yes, we can!" Took a while to get a bed apart, but they got it done. I called again, "Hi, can you help me move a huge sofa out of the room and help me lay down a carpet? Everyone else said no." Their answer: "Yes, we can!" Called them AGAIN, third time "Hi, can you help move a refrigerator and oven from one level to another in my house?" Answer: "Hey, we're Ameri-CANS, not Ameri-CAN"Ts." (Best answer I've ever gotten). Fourth call: "Hi, I want to donate the refrigerator you moved out of my kitchen. Can you come get it and take it where it needs to go?" Answer: "We are the Ameri-Cans." They have literally saved me several times already when I didn't know what I was going to do. They are now saved in my contact list on my phone, because I wouldn't call anyone else."
