"Cain and his crew came and did a great job mounting my TV above my fireplace and installing an electrical outlet. They were fast and easy to work with. They answered all my questions and made sure everything was working before they left. I would definitely recommend!"

"I am pleased to share my experience with Todd, who has provided outstanding plumbing services across 8 of our investment properties, all of which underwent full remodels. From the outset, Todd demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise. His attention to detail and comprehensive understanding of plumbing systems were evident in every phase of the remodels. Whether it was upgrading outdated fixtures, installing new piping, or ensuring compliance with local codes, he approached each task with diligence and skill. His ability to work collaboratively with our design and construction teams significantly contributed to the efficiency of the projects. Todd maintained clear communication throughout the process, promptly addressing any concerns and providing valuable recommendations that enhanced the overall quality of the remodels. Moreover, his commitment to meeting deadlines and staying within budget was commendable. We encountered challenges typical of remodels, but Todd handled them with a problem-solving mindset, ensuring that the projects stayed on track. The finished results speak volumes about his craftsmanship. The plumbing installations are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, adding significant value to our properties. Our tenants have consistently expressed satisfaction with the quality of the plumbing work, which has contributed to positive rental experiences. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Todd for any plumbing needs, especially for extensive remodels. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication to excellence make him a valuable asset to any project. We look forward to continuing our partnership with him in future endeavors."

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.

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.

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.

There are many maintenance and repair issues that lead to a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Regular clogs place wear and tear on the motors, leading to an eventual shutdown. Electrical issues at the breaker, wall outlet, or disposal itself can fry the unit. The most common cause is simply a worn-down motor. These motors can only handle so much use before powering down for good. 

The most common garbage disposal size in the U.S. is 1/2 horsepower. This size is ideal for households with three or fewer people or those that don't produce much food waste. Although 1/2 horsepower can't handle the typical food waste load for a household of four (which is about 250 pounds of food waste annually) as effectively as 3/4 horsepower, it remains the most common size of garbage disposal on the market.
