I reached out to Sly to help me install a ceiling fan. He responded super fast and came over same day. He took care of the job, which turned out to be a little tougher than we had hoped and never complained once! I will definitely use him again and suggest you give him a shot!

Sly Residential Service demonstrated a level of professionalism, technical competence, and regulatory awareness that meets—and exceeds—the reasonable standard of care expected of a properly licensed, bonded, and insured residential plumbing service provider. From initial engagement through final resolution, the service reflected adherence to industry best practices, risk-management protocols, and consumer-protection norms. Upon inspection, Mr. Sly promptly conducted a comprehensive diagnostic assessment of the garbage disposal system and accurately identified the root cause of failure: advanced corrosion and structural degradation at the lower housing of the disposal unit, resulting in concealed leakage beneath the sink basin. This condition constituted a latent defect that had gone undetected during prior service attempts, despite repeated interventions. Rather than applying a temporary or cosmetic repair, Mr. Sly exercised professional judgment consistent with licensed-trade obligations by recommending full unit replacement to prevent further water intrusion, cabinetry damage, and potential code violations. He immediately procured a manufacturer-certified replacement unit from Home Depot, ensuring compliance with applicable plumbing codes, installation standards, and warranty requirements. From a technical perspective, the diagnosis and remediation reflected a sophisticated understanding of garbage disposal assemblies, including flange seals, mounting hardware, corrosion fatigue, gasket integrity, and under-sink leak pathways. The installation was executed efficiently and methodically, with proper alignment, secure fastening, leak-prevention verification, and post-installation operational testing. From a legal and liability standpoint, Sly Residential Service operated with transparency, diligence, and accountability consistent with bonded and insured trade practices. The work was performed in a manner that mitigates homeowner risk, reduces exposure to secondary property damage, and minimizes the likelihood of future claims arising from negligent or incomplete repairs. In sum, Sly Residential Service provides dependable, technically sound, and professionally insured plumbing solutions. I would confidently recommend this service to homeowners, landlords, property managers, and real estate professionals seeking a licensed tradesperson who prioritizes permanent resolution, regulatory compliance, and client protection. This is a service provider who resolves issues correctly the first time and upholds a standard of workmanship that is both legally defensible and operationally sound.

Sylvester was a very professional and prompt. He installed my new garbage disposal within 2 hours and even fixed a light switch that had been bugging me for years. I will be calling him again soon for more projects.

Details: Yes, the existing disposal needs to be replaced • Continuous feed (most common) • Yes I will provide the garbage disposal, but need professional’s advice
