Garbage Disposal Repair & Replacement

Garbage disposals are a modern household convenience that we do not pay much attention to until they break. A clogged or broken garbage disposal can create quite a plumbing problem too! Our technicians are highly experienced in repairing garbage disposals, replacing old garbage disposals, and clearing garbage disposal clogs. Garbage disposals can become damaged when non-food items enter the disposal. Here are some of the ways to prevent a clogged or broken garbage disposal:

Make Sure It's Running

Before you put food in the garbage disposal, make sure the faucet is on and the garbage disposal is already running. Also, make sure you only run cold water into the disposal to prevent the motor from overheating.

Avoid Stringy Foods

Try to avoid putting stringing foods, like lemons or celery, into the garbage disposal. Stringy foods and starchy food, like potato peels, cannot be broken down properly by the disposal and can break the garbage disposal.

Avoid Rice & Pasta

Foods like rice and pasta expand when they come in contact with water and can lead to clogs in your garbage disposal. It is always best to avoid these types of foods when using your garbage disposal.

If you have a very old garbage disposal that keeps breaking, it might be time to replace your disposal with a new garbage disposal. On the other hand, you might just need a simple repair to your existing unit. We are experts are repairing broken or clogged garbage disposals. Call us today or check out our other services.
