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’re not foolproof. There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-not-put-down-garbage-disposal.htm">items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal</a>, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’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>

Is a garbage disposal worth it?

• <div><p>If you cook a lot or have a larger household, a garbage disposal can be worth it, since it streamlines your kitchen duties and helps to keep food waste out of landfills. It helps to know the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-garbage-disposal.htm">cost of garbage disposal installation</a> before you make your decision. The average price is about <b>$400</b>,<b> </b>but you can expect to pay more for higher-end models or if you hire a pro to do the job for you.</p></div>

What is the main problem that happens to garbage disposals?

• <div><p>The main issue with garbage disposals is clogging. This can mean a clogging of the pipes that expel the food along with water, or a clogging of the mechanical parts themselves. The problem lies in the solution because you can’t easily see clogs if they’re inside the system, and reaching in to dislodge stuck items is a risky proposal. Call a pro and ask what they would do, but if you can’t see the clog easily, and running the unit won’t free it, you need to let a professional handle the fix. </p></div>

Is it worth it to fix a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, it’s absolutely worth it to repair a garbage disposal, so long as it’s eight years old or younger. Once you pass that eight-year threshold, it depends on the issue. If it’s a simple jam and the core components remain unaffected, call a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/plumbers/">local plumber</a> for a quick repair. If it seems like the motor is wearing down, spring for a replacement unit. </p></div>

Had a cast iron tub removed and replaced with a walk-in shower. Work was done in one day with attention to detail. Tarps were laid down to contain any mess and all items were removed and taken away. Our installers were great and did an amazing job. Thanks to Torin and Cody from West Shore Home

21 dead trees cut down and debris removed. Those tree stumps plus other tree stumps left over from a prior job were ground down. Chose to have the grinding debris left in place. How bad could it be? It's a mess; wouldn't recommend doing that again - should have paid to have that debris removed,...
