Nothing is quite as frustrating as having a huge mess to clean up after dinner, turning on the garbage disposal, and being greeted with silence. Garbage disposals choose to stop working at the least opportune times, but the good news is that most of these incidents are not caused by major problems. Instead, it may be something as minor as the reset button needing to be pushed or a foreign object removed that is jamming the blade. No matter what the problem may be, My La Habra Plumber Hero has affordable solutions that are fast and effective.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Garbage Disposal

Sometimes repairs are inevitable, especially if your disposal is older. However, most of the calls for plumbing service we receive are for things that could have easily been avoided. For example, a common call we get is for help removing non-food objects from the disposal. These objects find their way into the disposal usually because the countertop may be disorganized or a person is using his or her kitchen as a trash can while cooking dinner.

Another common call we get is for drain cleaning services because a clog has developed. Sometimes clogs form in the drain pipe leading to the sink because it was installed incorrectly, but most of the time these sorts of blockages can be directly connected to misuse of the garbage disposal.

You can prevent clogs from happening by limiting the amount of food you put in the disposal at one time and by paying close attention to the type of food you grind up. Food scraps from meal preparations like onion skins, celery stalks, corn husks, potato skins, and egg shells can become lodged between the blades, making it hard for the propeller to rotate properly.

If you want your garbage disposal to last you for many years, read the manufacturer’s suggestions for usage included with your disposal. Or, call one of our certified plumbers for useful advice and tips that will keep your disposal working perfectly after every meal.
