"I had a large house that had been ransacked by family members and left in terrible shape. There were also two garages that had to be emptied and left broom clean for the new owner. I lived several hours out of town and needed someone I could depend on to take care of this large job for me. Mr. Charles was wonderful to work with. He went above and beyond the job I hired him to do. He stayed in touch with me, since I live out of state. He sent pictures of before and after he had cleaned out each room and area. He even went back the day after he had finished, to vacuum the rooms. I would highly recommend him. He is polite and professional, and his rates are very reasonable. I had a whole house full of furniture and junk and he managed to do the job right and in a very short time frame. I appreciated so much the fine work he did for me. He is a kind gentleman who takes pride in his work. You will be glad you hired him 222222222222222222222222222222 22 0000000"

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

Many homeowners wonder if a garbage disposal is necessary with a dishwasher. After all, many dishwashers are powerful enough to handle bits of food with no issues.  

Still, your dishwasher should not act as a replacement for a disposal. Subjecting your dishwasher to continuous leftovers could lead to major clogs. If you don’t want a garbage disposal in your kitchen, simply scrape away any extra food into your trash can or compost pile.

When a dishwasher discharges its wastewater, it uses a pump to quickly move a lot of water. If anything in the drain line or the garbage disposal impedes the high volume of water, it will back up into the sink through the drain or the garbage disposal. Following regular dishwasher maintenance tips like clearing clogs, keeping them cleared, and occasionally running the disposal will eliminate the problem.

These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal, 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.

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 local plumber for a quick repair. If it seems like the motor is wearing down, spring for a replacement unit. 

Garbage disposals last an average of about 10 years, so it may be time for a new model if it's getting up there in age. Other signs that it's time to bring in a local garbage disposal pro include:

  • Leaks under your disposal

  • Persistent clogs

  • Lingering odors

  • Lack of power

  • Unexplained noises
