"I can't say enough good things about Moving APT. When we decided to move across the country, we were anxious about the logistics of transporting our furniture, especially our cherished bedroom sets. However, Moving APT's team put our worries to rest from the moment they arrived. They were not only efficient but also incredibly respectful of our belongings. Each piece of furniture was carefully wrapped and handled with care, ensuring that nothing was damaged during the move. They took the time to ensure that our bedroom furniture was set up exactly as we wanted in our new home, paying attention to every detail. Moving APT's professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction were evident throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a moving company that will treat your belongings with the utmost care and provide exceptional service, look no further than Moving APT."

"Excellent handyman service. We hired him and his team for extensive projects, including post tenant clean up, exterior paint, interior paint, and cabinet removal. They did the amount of work in a week that would have taken us a month. We will be using him again for future projects."

Garbage Removal questions, answered by experts

These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly when you replace your garbage disposal. Make sure you shut the power off to the area first and check that it’s off with a voltage detector. Disconnect the main drain line and P-trap, and then disconnect the dishwasher drain line if you have one connected. You can then unscrew your garbage disposal using a disposal wrench. Just make sure you disconnect the electrical lines before removing your appliance.

On average, a garbage disposal can last anywhere from 7 to 12 years, with many models functioning well for about 10 years. With heavy usage, a motor may last a minimum of five years, while grinding plates will wear down over time. It's generally a good idea to consider a replacement if your unit is approaching the 10-year mark. Other signs that it's time for a new disposal include frequent leaks, persistent clogs, lingering odors, lack of power, or unusual noises. If your unit is not that old, it's worth investigating if a less expensive part, like a rubber seal or a loose hose, is causing the issue.

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’ll need. Most garbage disposals come with a hex wrench.

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.

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.
