"We recently purchased a newly constructed home with a beautiful kitchen that was only lacking one thing - lighting under the cabinets to illuminate the countertops. We have a tile backsplash which, I feared, would make it impossible to install the lighting without having it look like an obvious retrofit. Dennis recommended a solution and provided an estimate. The work was completed in about two hours and looks like it was part of the original kitchen installation. He even thought to include a dimmer switch at no extra charge. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. As a serious cook, the lighting in my prep area is very important. I would highly recommend Dennis and his crew. This was the second time I had them do work for us. They arrive on time, treat your property with respect, clean up after themselves and do quality work. They will be my go-to from now on."

"Josh helped us install all our plumbing in a new house build. We have an off grid system using a 2500 gallon rain catch system and he seamlessly installed all our plumbing and filtration to operate like a regular house on city water. He also helped us install a gas line for our stove. Josh is a true professional with fair prices and it was a pleasure to work with him. We've already referred him to others and highly recommend him for all your plumbing needs"

"Had a major clog in the mainline and had been trying to get ahold of our usual guy for such things, but he was unavailable. Got ahold of Gardner Plumbing and Blake Maiden came out the *same day* and did a great job clearing the issue right up! We’re in a very rural area and I had a very hard time finding someone who could service the area. Blake is our hero! :)"

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

Whether it's worth repairing your garbage disposal depends on its age and the specific problem. Generally, if the unit is eight years old or younger, repair is a good option. For minor issues like a bad seal or a simple jam, a repair can be inexpensive, sometimes under $10. However, if the motor is broken (a repair that can cost $150 or more) or the unit is getting old, it's often more cost-effective to replace the entire disposal.

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.

No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.

However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.

You may be able to install a garbage disposal on your own, especially if you're handy or have some experience with plumbing. However, if you have any concerns or want to make absolutely sure that the connections are installed correctly, you may be better off hiring a local garbage disposal installer to do the job. 

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.
