"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.
Garburator Use and Maintenance
Garbage disposal units are available with varying power levels to handle different types of food, but they can all handle soft scraps of food that will break down quickly. You should always run cold water while using your unit, as this helps to flush the waste material through your drain. Run the disposal fully to ensure nothing remains.
Regardless of its horsepower levels, you should avoid putting hard, starchy, or fibrous materials into your garburator. Avoid potatoes, pasta, rice, asparagus, eggshells, coffee grounds, and small pieces of bone. While pasta and rice may seem soft and easy to break apart, the starch can absorb water inside your pipes, causing them to expand and cause clogs. This can take place much further down in your plumbing system, deep in your drain line.
If there is a problem with your garbage disposal, there are several signs you may experience.
- Jamming impeller blades
- Equipment failure
- Loud grinding sounds
- Water and waste backing up
Reach out to our team as soon as you experience a problem with your disposal. While a clog may not occur right away, extensive damage can take place over time. This can even lead to your pipes bursting. Schedule a routine inspection once per year to spot issues and to allow us to perform maintenance. We can help with a preventive drain cleaning and inspect the various components of your disposal. This can reduce the need for ongoing repairs and lengthen the life expectancy of your unit and plumbing system.
