I mentioned I could pick up disposal at Home Depot for $120 at (Insinkerator, 5 HP, which he said he'd get and is all he uses). After replacing disposal, took him no more than 1/2 hr (probably 20 mins) to snake the sink drain to unstop those 2 sink drains. $670! My mistake- should have bought disposal myself, gone with another plumber if unable to give me an estimate range over the phone, then not have them do anything once arrived until gave me an estimate in writing. Almost $700? He must have really needed the money to charge that much with no guilt. Expensive lesson for me.

When searching for that, we came across Mr. Rooter of Williamsburg's Water Leak Detection Services page and gave them a call. We explained what we needed from them over the phone and set up an appointment. When they arrived, I was told they don't do leak detection. They left shortly after acting like I was crazy for 1) knowing it was a slab leak (confirmed by a different plumber) and 2) for thinking they'd do what their website had listed. After they left, I received an estimate for them to re-pipe the whole house, something I didn't ask for. Thankfully, they didn't charge us for the visit.

Had a leaky garbage disposal. Technician looked down the drain and advised that it needed to be…read morereplaced. We purchased another one and called back to get an installation. When he returned he gave me the cost. A whopping $333 labor to install. I could have said no and looked for someone else but we had already been without a sink for a few days. I may be wrong but to pay $333 labor cost for less than 1 hour of labor is over the top. Then the dishwasher wouldn't drain. My husband spent the evening messing with it only to find out that the technician left the drain plug in so water kept flowing back into the dishwasher. Update Hadn't received my emailed receipt. Texted the number late last night (7/10/2026) and was then sent the receipt. I had been advised by the technician that the labor would $333 for a customer supplied disposer. The invoice shows a $234 for "Install Customer Supplied Disposer." Yes, it was a signed invoice from a tablet. The technician had me to sign without reviewing the invoice. I trusted that the install was $333 as he had said. Additionally After removing the drain plug that the technician left in and running the dishwasher, it backed up again twice and proceeded to not function. Texted the number again last night regarding the plug being left in and the dishwasher causing water to build up in the bottom of the dishwasher. And now, the dishwasher is not functioning after removing the plug. Scheduled a technician to come out today.

Update: After I still had leaking JR sent Joel out today. He found one of the new parts installed…read morewas defective. Joel was extremely knowledgeable & helpful. After the new parts installation he filled the sink with water to create pressure then let it drain. There were no leaks. I'm very impressed with JR Plumbing's prompt response to problems. Update: Kyle came back today to replace the plumbing under my kitchen sink & remove the evil garage disposal. He did a beautiful job. I'm completely happy with his work, timeliness and how pleasant he was. Finding a good plumber can be tough. Finding one that comes in a timely manner can be even harder. I'm in the midst of a major update & renovation of my mid 80's house. When my husband was alive he could do any household repairs & installation. It wasn't his profession. But he was really good at it. Now I have to live in a "Brave New World", Over the years since he died I've used a number of different plumbers, but none that completely met all my needs. Although my kitchen is planned to be the last project I tackle, I had to take care of leaks under the sink that have gotten progressively worse. There will be a 24 hour period when the bathroom vanities are having new countertops, sinks & fixtures installed. My Contractor's plumber will come the next day to connect them. So the kitchen sink will have to be the replacement for the bathroom vanities during that time period. The leaks must be taken care of before then. My Contractor looked under the sink, took pictures and recommended that I use his plumber. He contacted JR Plumbing for me, sending them the pictures and my contact information. I got a call from JR the next day and was put on their schedule for the following day, The company sent a text confirmation with my technician's name & a noon to 4pm window, which suited my schedule well. When the technician Kyle arrived I was impressed by his pleasantness & attire in a JR Plumbing shirt. He examined the area under my kitchen sink & understood what I wanted done. The leaks were in multiple places: the garbage disposal, P trap & the fixture. Since I would be having the sink & fixtures replaced in a few months I didn't want things replaced that I would be replacing again in a few months. I wanted the garage disposal removed & taken to live in a new home, preferably the City of Virginia Beach's Recycling Center. I wanted the P trap replaced and the fixture problem corrected. Kyle's response on the fixture issue made complete sense as I didn't want to replace it at that time. After inspecting he contacted the office & wrote up an estimate, which seemed very reasonable for the work to be completed. After approving the estimate, I was delighted to receive an early next week date for the repair. Kyle completely understood my needs and was an extremely pleasant technician. JR Plumbing is now my plumber of choice.
