Preventing Garbage Disposal Repairs

You don’t want us to crash your party because of a bad disposal, right? Therefore, it is imperative that you take care of your disposal to extend its life and avoid unexpected repairs. One of the best things you can do for your appliance is to use it regularly. If you use your disposal once every few days because you think overusing will cause it to wear out faster, consider the following. Disposals that are used every day have fewer chances of developing rust and corrosion. This is because water is never left to sit in between the blades. Rusty blades do not operate nearly as well as razor sharp, clean blades.

Although you should run your disposal frequently, keep in mind that the average garbage disposal only has enough horsepower to accommodate light usage. This means you need to restrict the amount of food waste that goes into the disposal. We tell our customers to only put food in the disposal that is from your pots and pans, leftover on plates or food that is rinsed off cooking utensils. Scraps from food preparation should be composted or placed in the trash can.

When Should I Replace My Garbage Disposal?

A frequent question we get from customers concerns garbage disposal replacement and installation. Most problems with disposals are easily repaired and relatively minor. We do recommend replacement when the disposal is irreparable or it is between five and 10 years old.

Whether you choose to replace your disposal or opt for repairs, you can be certain that our industry-trained, plumbing pros will provide you with excellent plumbing service that is always 100% guaranteed. We also offer quality toilet repair and replacement, value pipe repair, and more!
