I had a "shade-tree" plumber do some work on my bathroom faucets and now my faucets are still leaking into the basement, I'm having trouble washing because only my hot water works with the washer now, and i have a stopped up commode prior to the horrible plumbing job.

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.
For simple garbage disposal repairs, first look for the source of the problem. For instance, if the unit doesn't run, look for the reset button, and press. If this doesn't work, make sure that your unit is receiving power. If your unit runs intermittently, there may be a problem with the garbage disposal switch or stopper. Replace these, and it should fix the garbage disposer. If you notice a garbage disposal leak, locate the source, or simply tighten the connection. If the garbage disposal makes a lot of noise, you may have shoved something that shouldn't have been there. Check for this, and if you don't find anything, get the blade, motor or impeller replaced by a garbage disposal plumber.
In case of a garbage disposal that is switched on but doesn't run, press the reset button at the bottom of the disposer. Make sure that your unit has been plugged into a functioning power outlet. If you still have problems, the cause may be a defective garbage disposal switch or stopper that has to be replaced. In case of a garbage disposal leak, look for the source, and tighten the loose connection. If your disposal makes a lot of noise, check to see if any hard object has entered the unit. If not, call a garbage disposal plumber to replace the blade and motor. We have established this unique resource to help you find licensed and certified garbage disposal plumbers in Mission Viejo.
