My wife and I are purchasing a home and it needs a new boiler and possibly some pipes and fins replaced. I am looking to get some free estimates and it will probably require a site visit. thanks,

Garbage Disposal Plumbing
A garbage disposal typically has a life span of at least a decade. There may be occasional minor problems with your unit, and in the case of major garbage disposal repairs, garbage disposal replacement is often the better option. When it comes to installing a garbage disposal, the procedure itself is fairly straight forward, but does require extensive plumbing, as well as electrical abilities. First, you have to remove the P trap or waste trap, as well as the sink strainer. Now, install the mounting assembly that consists of a flange and a mounting ring. Tighten the assembly, and then connect the power cord. Mount the garbage disposal, and connect the drain lines. If necessary, connect a dishwasher line too after the drain lines have been established. Lock into place, and check to see if the unit is running properly.
To avoid the need for garbage disposal repairs, take care never to shove large objects, like bones down the unit. Never pour grease or coffee grounds down the garbage disposal. Your manufacturer's manual will provide a list of items that have no place in the disposal. Always run water before and after using the unit, and run cold water when the unit is in operation. Don't run hot water when the unit is in use, because the heat can melt any grease causing clog formations. Never overfill your garbage disposal unit. Simple garbage disposal repairs can be done at home. If the unit doesn't run even when the motor hums, it could be a sign of a hard object stuck. Switch off the disposer, and if you can see an object like a bone, rubber or metal, pull it out using tongs. Don't put your hands inside the unit. If this doesn't help, call a garbage disposal plumber. In case of a leak in your unit, simply find the source, and tighten the connection.
