Know Your Garbage Disposal

It is important to keep in mind many different rules and techniques to ensure your garbage disposal continues to work like it should. The first rule is to make sure you always run your disposal with cold water.

The second is to always run your disposal every few days as well as to add 2 trays of ice cubes to it on a monthly basis to keep it clean. Finally, remember that your disposal is not a garbage can and should never be used as a way to clean out your kitchen.

The Right Way to Fixing Your Garbage Disposal

If you have a problem with your garbage disposal, including jams, blockage, or leaks, always call a plumber first. It is important to never use a chemical drain cleaner on your disposal as it will end any warranty you have, cause corrosion, and crystallize the rubber seals. Additionally, it keeps our plumbers from being able to work on your disposal up to 24-hours due to chemical burn risks. Let our trained experts provide you with the garbage disposal services you need in a safe and effective manner.
