Disposals

The most common plumbing breakdown is blamed on the garbage disposal. This is partly because when the drain line serving the kitchen sink is clogged, it backs up through the garbage disposal. In very few cases a worn out garbage disposal is to blame. More often, the user has caused the problem .Proper Use: Garbage disposal, and the drain lines to which they’re connected, are not intended for use in disposing large amounts of food products. Like buckets of pasta, potato pills and anything that might look like it will cause a jam to the disposer. It is often recommended that you stick to just your usual non-solid food (pudding, jello, ice cream ect.) but you can do some of your foods that are solid in small amounts at a time. Also when running the disposal you must run water with it to wash the food down the drain so that it will not jam or cause a clog in the line. Your normal disposal can last for quite a while, but if you notice any humming or unusual noises it would be good to fix or replace a.s.a.p. I as a plumber have seen quite a few silly things that people have put down the disposal and that is why I am taking the time out to make people aware so that they are not out money for one simple mistake of putting the wrong thing in their disposal. So please remember not to take advantage of your disposal because it can be your best friend when you need it.*JUST A SMALL TIP WHEN YOU ARE DONE PUTTING ANYTHING DOWN THE DISPOSAL IT IS ALWAYS GOOD TO PUT SOME ICE IN THE DISPOSAL AND TURN IT ON TO CLEAN IT OUT.*
