Dave was very thorough in his approach to installing a garbagedisposal. He gave me advice on the product to purchase. He explained what he was going to do and handled it well because it was a tricky installation. He used existing parts he had on hand so as not to charge me more. I now am a happy owner of a working garbagedisposal.
Details: No, a new disposal needs to be installed • Yes I will provide the garbage disposal

Dave was excellent. He promptly diagnosed my garbagedisposal problem and was able to fix it. I bought a new disposal at no Costco and had it ready for him, but he told me to return it and said that my Whirlpool disposal was still good. He also showed me how to care for it. I appreciate his honesty and will use him again if I need a plumber. -J Freedman

I had a great experience with Dave doing exceptional work on my home's plumbing. He knows everything about unclogging drains and plumbing in general. He was very personable, on time, and charged a fair price. I highly recommend working with DrainO-K.
