"A few months ago I found a leak in what I thought was our septic system in our backyard. It smelled like sewage and was near our tank so seemed like a reasonable assumption. We have a pool and lots of concrete and for some reason our septic tank is underneath all this concrete near the pool (was this way since we moved in). I had a few different plumbers come out and take a look. Nearly all of them took one quick look at it and immediately decided it would be just as expensive to tear up all the concrete getting to the septic tank and field lines just to figure out where the leak was. So they all recommended just installing a new tank. In a way they were all correct, it would have cost a fortune to get to the tank. But when Shane came out and checked the leak he suggested that he spend a little time digging where the leak was in case he found it quickly. He thought it might be a field line leaking that wasn't buried as far away from the grass as the tank and might be accessible. He did agree that if he couldn't find the leak in the first couple of feet then it would be best just to go ahead and install a new tank. I should add that his quote for installing the new tank was the best I found, plus he said he would not charge me for the extra work looking for the cause of the leak if he didn't find it. When he and his two co-workers came out they started by digging out the area where the leak was as well as digging a few yards away from the concrete in hopes of finding a field line leading to the leak. They spent about 2 hours working on finding the leak and eventually they did. it turned out the leak was not from the septic system at all! Our kitchen sink and washing machine (possibly dishwasher too) had a separate line not connected to the septic system that had broken and was leaking. Shane fixed the leak and installed a new field line for this separate line and our problem has been solved. It was still an expensive fix (about $5000), but he saved us at least $4000 ($9000 was the cheapest quote for our new tank installation and re-routing plumbing). Not only that, but had we had a new tank installed, we would have spent that $9000 and still had the same leak! Shane was the only person who even made the suggestion to take a closer look where the leak was. All the other plumbers just immediately decided I needed to install a new tank. So we could have ended up spending nearly 10k (or even more depending on which plumber we chose) on a new tank, then another 5k on fixing the real issue! And let's not even get started on the fact that our whole side yard would have been torn up as part of the new tank installation (the field lines he installed were in back in an area that we didn't care as much about). So I can't thank Shane enough for being sensible and suggesting spending just an hour or so diagnosing the problem before jumping into a super expensive fix! I would for sure recommend Rapid Rooter again!"

Sales person (owner) was very knowledgeable and gave detailed steps as to what needed to be done to resolve problem. Work crew were professional and worked in a timely manner. They kept me informed as to how the job was progressing. They clearly answered any questions I had about their work processes. When they were done clean-up was so good you could not even tell they had been there.

"Wonderful! Marvin was on time, professional, personable, quickly diagnosed the issue, then completed the work in a timely manner and cleaned up after himself. His rates are better than any others I had talked with about the job. I was quite satisfied with his service and would definitely call on him again or refer others to him for plumbing needs."

Install Garbage Disposal FAQs, answered by experts

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’t access the disposal safely, call a garbage disposal repair pro.

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. 

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 cost of garbage disposal installation before you make your decision. The average price is about $400, but you can expect to pay more for higher-end models or if you hire a pro to do the job for you.

In some cases, it’s more cost-effective in the long run to replace a garbage disposal, but it depends on the specific issue you’re having and the age of your disposal. You should ask a garbage disposal repair tech for a quote to repair your appliance and then see if it would be more worthwhile to replace it. Additionally, garbage disposals last for around 15 years, so if you know your appliance is reaching that age, it’s likely better to pay for a new garbage disposal rather than sink money into repairs.

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.
