The disposal in the house (7 years old) will turn on with the switch but the to portion is not moving and chewing anything up. I am in need of someone to look at it and estimate a repair.

My job is pretty simple but I need quotes. I have one sink that is leaking a little underneath. I have one bathtub that has handles that leak when they're turned on. And I have a simple bidet that needs to be taken off - just undone from the plumbing and one nut unscrewed (I don't have a tool that will get to it). Simple stuff but needs to get done.

Plumbing leaks in your household can range from simple leaks that are a mere nuisance, to large leaks that can flood your home. To fix a leak, you first have to determine what kind of a leak it is. The leak can be located either on the pipe or at a joint. If you have a leak in the pipe, it's better to replace the entire section of the pipe, instead of merely patching the leak. Pipe leaks often occur when the pipe is corroded, and a corroded pipe can quickly begin to leak in more than one place. If the leak is at a joint, you can stop the leak by merely tightening the joint.
There are several methods you can use to stop a leak till plumbing help arrives. Use epoxy paste to stop the leak, or buy a patch kit from your local hardware store. You can also use a water proof tape wrapping around the leak to temporarily fix the leak. Special compound sticks that have to be rubbed over the hole to stop the leak can work on small leak problems.
All these however are only temporary solutions. You can expect the leak to begin again either at the same spot or at another section of the pipe. To detect a water leak in your house, look for damp patches on the walls and ceilings. It's not necessary that the damp patch is seen at the exact spot where the leak occurs. Water can travel through a leaking pipe for some distance before it shows up on your ceiling or wall. To fix a leaking pipe permanently, trust a professional pipe leak detection and repair service.
