When you entrust us with repairing or replacing your garbage disposal, you can expect fast, friendly, and quality plumbing service that is certain to get your disposal up and running again in no time at all.
Easy Garbage Disposal Maintenance Tips
- To keep your garbage disposal in the best shape possible, it is important to flush the system with water after every use. This helps clear out any food particles that may be stuck in the blades.
- Don’t put non-biodegradable objects in the disposal like plastic, metal, or glass. Although you may not intentionally grind these items up, it isn’t uncommon for silverware to accidentally fall into the disposal. Pay close attention that this doesn’t happen to prevent damaging your system.
- Place small quantities of food in the disposal at one time. Garbage disposals are only designed for light usage. When you overfill a disposal, this puts stress on the motor and it can lead to irreparable failure.
Safety Tip: If something would become stuck in the disposal, you should never use your fingers to try to get it out. Instead, use a pair of pliers or a wooden spoon. And, ALWAYS, turn off the power to the disposal to prevent seriously injury.
