"Super grateful that Chris came out to fix our shower drain. Initially thought to be a clog, the problem was actually to do with the mechanics of our drain, and Chris was quick to figure that out and find a solution! Thanks for the quick troubleshooting and nice service Chris. Would recommend this business and their services." Ruby H.
When food materials enter your drain and garbage disposal, the blades break everything down. As you run cold water during operation, the materials will wash away through your pipes. This is a great method that protects your plumbing system from clogs and damage. You should avoid running hot water through your disposal while it’s running. The hot water can cause grease and oil to stay in liquid form, pushing it deep into your plumbing system, where it can then solidify. Avoid ever putting oil or grease down your drain.
There are several items that should never go down your disposal.
Fats and oils
Coffee grounds
Bones
Starchy foods like rice and pasta
Large food scraps
Paper
There are different types of disposals available to choose from, including those with varying motor powers and features. Units with a motor power of 1/3 horsepower (hp) are ideal for light use. You can upgrade to a unit with a motor power of 3/4 hp or higher, and it will be capable of grinding up large pieces of food. The noise level can increase with higher power levels. If you experience jams in between the blades periodically and are upgrading your current model, blades that reverse direction can prevent issues. Multiple grind stages can also promote better function and prevent clogs and jams.
If you have a septic system on your property, you’ll want to consider investing in a septic-safe disposal. This equipment does a better job of grinding up materials so that bacteria can break it down easily.
