Garbage disposals are largely neglected in today's kitchens. Because you may be as careful as you like about preventing large items of food from flowing down the drain, there will always be a few that slip through and get caught in the pipes. The trash disposal is a sort of garbage disposer that is used to shred food waste into small enough pieces to go through the plumbing easily. You may not be aware how important it is until it breaks down.

Garbage Disposal Repair
When you're using your garbage disposal, make it a point to establish a few excellent routines. Avoid using harsh chemicals like bleach or vinegar, which can cause the garbage disposal to become sluggish and clogged. Treating it with care will ensure that it is kept in good working order as long as possible, and you won't have to deal with a broken or ineffective garbage disposer very often. Here are a few tips:
But following the rules doesn't work in hindsight, and even following them perfectly doesn't prevent your garbage disposal from clogging or breaking down. That's why Rialto Plumber is here to help.

- When grinding food, use lukewarm water. Hot water has the ability to dissolve fats, which may cause clogging in your pipes after they have cooled.
- Overfilling your garbage disposal isn't a good idea.
- Before and after each usage, strongly suggest that you run water through the sink.
- Don't put bleach, drain cleaners, or other chemicals into the unit.
- Don't try to grind bones, coffee grounds, or particularly fibrous things (like corn husks). Also avoid disposing of goods composed of glass, metal, or rubber.
- Only use your hands to pull things out if absolutely necessary. Instead, use tongs or pliers.

Garbage Disposal Maintenance

The blades and pipes in your garbage disposal are going to wear down, even if you're selective about what you put down the sink. Keeping everything clean is an excellent method to guarantee that your garbage disposal doesn't break down—and even if it does, Rialto Plumber can help you get it back up and running quickly.
To prevent clogging, clean out the drain with a turkey baster before rinsing it. Fill it with ice cubes and a cup of rock salt to loosen any built-up sludge and debris, then run it for about 5 seconds. Grinding a lemon while running warm tap water deodorizes your garbage disposal if it smells bad. |
Garbage Disposal Clogs: What Causes Them?
Objects Shoved in DisposalGarbage disposals, like kitchen sinks, are difficult to clean because they have many nooks and crannies. Garbage disposals get clogged with everything from silverware to big portions of food. With soapy water covering the disposal, it's sometimes difficult to tell what gets caught. Attempting to remove the product yourself may result in it becoming trapped even more. To completely remove the item, contact Winters Home Services right away. |
Clogs from Grease & DirtClogs can occur for a variety of reasons, including grease, dirt, grime, and other debris. Our plumbers in Boston may use safe chemicals to unclog your drain if it gets blocked. If the block is severe, we may need to clean the P trap or snake the line. Overloaded DisposalGarbage disposals automatically turn off when they are overloaded in order to prevent the machine from overheating. In the event that your reset button isn't effective, Winters Home Services should be contacted. |
