"What a great experience! Scheduling was a breeze; and the plumber, Owen, arrived on time, well within the window after a call that he was on his way. I originally scheduled them to install a touchless kitchen faucet I had purchased; when he was here, I inquired about replacing the garbage disposal and then he noted some issues with my current kitchen sink traps (which were clear to see when he pointed them out). Owen was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional; and he immediately flexed from my initial faucet installation request to add the other two items to the scope. Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with the service... Owen did a great job and I'll definitely reach back out to The Pipe Doctor for future plumbing needs!"

"Carlos checked and informed me I didn't need work done on two of my issues.  He also installed a faucet which he estimated to be a 45 minute job.  Even though the job ended up being more complicated than he thought, and it took him longer than he thought it would, he charged me nothing extra.  Great workmanship by a trustworthy plumber!

"I was very impressed with Viking Plumbing. Was easy to schedule and Jeff came and installed a new garbage disposal shortly after we purchased the deal. Price was great. He installed the disposal with no problems. Jeff also answered a number of other plumbing questions I had for unrelated items. Would use again!"

"John and George are exceptional high quality customer oriented plumbing experts. I needed help installing a chiller, pump, and filtration system. George was methodical in assessing an unusual job and making sure all the i’s were dotted and the t’s were crossed. He treated my money like it was his own and wanted to make sure we made the best possible decision. The value and quality of the work is high as well. I cannot recommend this company any more. Thanks to them."

Overall, it went very well.  The first day, the workers removed the old countertop and sink.  They then installed the new countertops and sink.  The second day, the workers connected the plumbing for the sink and disposal and started on the under cabinet lighting.  The third day they finished the under cabinet lighting, spackled and repainted the walls cut to install the wiring for the lighting.

When the workers were here, they did a great job and handled themselves professionally.  The only complaint I had was that on the 2nd day, the workers did not show until around 12:30 when I had expected them around 10.  They had gotten stuck at a earlier job, but it was not communicated to me until I called and asked where they were.  Other than that, the work looks great and gets compliments from guests and visitors to the house.  I would use KBR again for any kitchen or bath needs.

"I contacted Granite Vision and spoke with Roni, explaining that because the vanity was in an awkward place in this small bathroom, I needed help to decide what was required. Joseph and another member came within a couple of days to assess the situation, make recommendations, and take measurements. Joseph then emailed pictures of various granite slabs since I was unable to get to their site, and within a week his team installed the top, offset sink, and my faucet. Both their installer and plumber readily answered all questions. Also, because I have add'l bathroom remodeling to do, I asked Joseph for any recommendations he may have for providers with whom he's worked who do smaller jobs and are good. He did make some recommendations and responded quickly to any questions I had regarding these providers. I highly recommend Granite Vision not only for the quality of their product but also for their professionalism and support."

Install Garbage Disposal 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.

As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with proper care and maintenance, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.

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.

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.

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.
