"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.
Professional Garburator Installation & Service
Routine garbage disposal maintenance can save money and avoid inconveniences. Homeowners should perform a thorough cleaning at least once a week. Once a year, schedule professional service. We’ll perform a multipoint inspection and thoroughly clean the equipment. Our plumber will also lubricate moving parts and correct normal wear and tear.
Monitor for garburator performance issues and contact us at the earliest signs of trouble. Two of the most common problems are frequent jamming and clogging. Jamming often means that the unit has dull blades or impeller problems. Frequent clogging suggests grease or some other buildup making it difficult for particles to pass through.
Watch for these other signs that you may need a repair.
- Leaks
- Foul odors
- Unusual noises
- Excessive vibration
- Tripped circuit breakers
If you’d like to replace an old unit or install a garburator for the first time, there are many options. A main consideration is that garbage disposal motors come in a range of horsepower (HP) ratings. The higher the HP, the more grinding power you’ll have.
Many households have either a 1/3- or 1/2-HP motor. The former is often ideal for smaller households. The latter is appropriate for households of up to four people. Units between 5/8 and 3/4 HP can deal with tougher waste, and heavy-duty systems provide maximum power.
You can choose between either a hardwired system or one you plug in. Many systems on the market give you the option. Hardwiring is a bit more expensive but provides a more secure and durable connection. Plugged-in systems make replacement easier.
There are a wide range of features to consider as well. These include smart units that can send error codes to your smartphone. Many homeowners opt for sink-top switches for added convenience. Auto-reverse helps avoid jams, while quiet mode is a great option for those who don’t like noisy operation.
