"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.
Proper Use of a Garburator
Certain materials can safely go down your drain when you have a garbage disposal. This includes small scraps of soft food that will easily break apart. Small amounts of grains are acceptable, but not large amounts. You always want to make sure that you’re running cold water when items are going down your garbage disposal. Also, turn the unit on before putting anything into the drain.
Avoid putting very fibrous or hard materials into your disposal. This includes bones, celery, asparagus, and corn husks. You should also keep very starchy foods like rice out of your disposal. They can absorb water and lead to obstructions in your plumbing system. Grease, fats, and oils should go into your garbage can and not down your drain. They can result in a sticky and thick coating in your drains that can lead to debris accumulation and clogs.
There are signs to watch out for that indicate issues with your garburator.
- Blades not moving
- Unit doesn’t turn on
- Loud sounds during operation
- Drain backing up
It’s important you call our team when you notice any problems with your disposal. Ignoring issues can lead to major plumbing issues such as leaks, permanent equipment damage, and pipe damage if large clogs are present. We recommend an annual inspection and maintenance from our team. This allows us to spot issues early on before they cause problems. Routine maintenance can often prevent the need for emergency repairs in the future.
