Default Murphy's Law

Here it is just 2 days away from Thanksgiving

BTW Happy Thanksgiving


Our garbage disposal decided to spring a leak today
Easy temporary fix..I just placed a pan under it for the time being
Once the holiday is over It will need a professionals attention
Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced, timely plumber to replace it?

Thanks

I don't know any plumbers, but can relate with your predicament.

I once cut an unmarked buried electrical line (locate was off) coming into the house, while digging fence post holes Friday evening...of Memorial Day weekend.

The power company didn't charge me at least, because the locate was off by over one and 1/2 feet.

Good luck.

Before you call the plumber, double check the dishwasher hose connection, and make sure it is still in place and tight, also double check the tightness of the drain connections. Since the disposal tends to vibrate a little during operation, one of these connections may have worked loose.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for everyones input !

Upon further inspection..Cheap plastic housing has a crack..
In past 5 years we have replaced due to failure the microwave , refrigerator and now a garbage disposal.
Lucky for me the refrigerator was still under warranty when it died
While the plumber is here should have them change out the dishwasher I'm sure that will be next
I have found the appliances here aren't exactly the highest of quality most likely the cheapest
