FAQs
Have questions about your garbage disposal? We’ve got answers! Our FAQ section is designed to help you find quick solutions to common queries. Whether you’re curious about our services or need guidance on how to get started, feel free to reach out if you still have questions!
How do I properly maintain my garbage disposal?
To keep your garbage disposal in good condition, run it regularly with cold water to prevent rust and buildup. Avoid putting grease, oil, or hard-to-grind materials like bones and coffee grounds down the drain. For a deep clean, grind small citrus peels or use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar.
What can I safely put into a garbage disposal?
Garbage disposals are designed for food scraps, but certain items should be avoided. You can safely grind small food residues like vegetable peels, fruit scraps, and small amounts of leftover food. Avoid hard items like bones, fibrous foods like celery, and starchy items like potato peels as they can damage the blades or clog the drain.
How do I fix a garbage disposal that stops working?
If your garbage disposal stops working, first turn it off and unplug it. Check for a reset button on the bottom of the unit and press it. If it still doesn’t work, inspect for blockages and use a hex wrench to manually turn the blades (if your model allows this). Call a professional if the issue persists.
How long should a garbage disposal last?
With proper care and maintenance, a garbage disposal can last anywhere between 10 to 15 years. Factors like usage, the quality of the device, and how well it’s maintained play a significant role in its lifespan.
Can I install a garbage disposal myself?
Yes, if you have some basic plumbing and electrical skills, you can install a garbage disposal yourself. However, professional installation ensures it’s done correctly, preventing potential issues like leaks or improper connections. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions if you decide to install it on your own.
