When we moved into our house, we were surprised to find a garbage disposal in the laundry room. It's not like we have a lot of stuff that needs to be ground up and flushed down our sewer. Even the kitchen disposal doesn't get used that much.
Yesterday, the laundry room drain was going very slow so I flipped the disposal switch only to hear the hum of a jammed unit. This unit has gotten jammed several times so I'm pretty good at getting the Allen head wrench out to jiggle it loose. But this time it just wasn't coming free. It was turning like it had swallowed a quart of asphalt which had congealed in the gears somewhere. And to make matters worse, I tried for an hour to undo the connection mechanism and drop the disposal from the drain so I could replace it. Nothing seemed to work.
I contacted
Rescue Rooter through the Internet and got a prompt reply with 2 business hours just as they promised. The repairmen showed up on time as promised. And the work was completed within 30 minutes of his arrival. We did elect to just eliminate the disposal and saved ourselves another $100 at least. Even so it was a $270 repair job.
