"Matt and his helper diagnosed the problem even before arriving to our home (apparently it's a common occurrence for do-it-yourselfers to not get the bolts tight enough on a new toilet install). Within 2 minutes of arrival they had identified the source of the leak. Matt's helper tightened the 3 loose bolts to stop the leak. Matt's a nice guy and obviously knowledgeable, I just thought $175 for 10-15 minutes to tighten 3 loose bolts was excessive. The original cost was going to be $250 but he was gracious enough to give us an additional 15% off above and beyond the 15% off for being an Angie's List member, but if you do the math that's still $700/hour for a basic repair."

"He did an excellent job and got it done in a very quick turnaround. He completely gutted both bathrooms and his work was beautiful. His prices were lower than what I found and I am so pleased with his work, I am going to have him redo my kitchen as well. I would highly recommend him to anyone."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

While the drain connection for a garbage disposal is nearly universal and fits standard sink drain holes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, the size of the disposal unit itself is not. You must have enough space in the cabinet underneath your sink to accommodate the disposal's housing. A larger model may not fit in a compact cabinet or if the existing plumbing is arranged in an unusual way. Before buying a new garbage disposal, measure the available space under your sink. If you are replacing an old unit, it's often easiest to choose a new model of a similar size.

Continuous feed garbage disposals are the favorite model for many homeowners for a reason. As opposed to batch feed models, add food scraps to the drain whenever the disposal is running. This variety is also typically less expensive, more convenient, and easier to clean.

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.

It’s one thing that helps, alongside vinegar and baking soda. Ice acts as an exfoliant, helping to lift off any bits of food stuck on the disposal blades.

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.
