The Benefits of a Garbage Disposal Installation
Food Waste Management
A garbage disposal unit streamlines waste management by breaking down food scraps into small particles that easily pass through your drain and into the sanitary sewer. This reduces the amount of solid waste sent to the landfill!
Faster Kitchen Cleanup
Installing a garbage disposal unit in your kitchen makes post-meal cleanup faster and more convenient than ever. It also minimizes unpleasant odors caused by leftover food sitting in trash cans.
Plumbing System Protection
A functional garbage disposal can help protect your plumbing by reducing the chance of food particles accumulating in the plumbing system. In turn, the likelihood of clogs and backups is significantly reduced.
Durable Designs
Modern disposals—particularly those made with stainless steel impeller blades and interior components—last longer and are more resistant to grease buildup, corrosion, and wear from regular use. Choosing the right brand can make a big difference in durability and performance.
How to Tell You Need Garbage Disposal Repair or Replacement
Unusual Noises from the Unit
Strange noises, such as grinding metal or humming without function, can indicate a broken garbage disposal or internal component failure. These sounds usually point to jammed steel parts or a failing impeller.
Recurring Electrical Issues
Frequent resets or power failures may point to underlying electricity issues or a worn-out switch. Replacing the unit could be safer and more cost-effective than paying for repeated repairs.
Poor Grinding Performance
When food particles are not breaking down completely, it may be a sign the tool is no longer functioning at full capacity. In this case, upgrading to a newer model with better grinding capabilities is the smart choice.
Lingering Odors Despite Cleaning
If your garbage disposal unit emits a foul odor even after cleaning, trapped food and grease might be stuck in unreachable areas. Replacing the unit may be more hygienic and effective than continued cleaning.
How to Protect Your Garbage Disposal
Run Water Before, During, and After Use
Always keep cold water flowing through the sink before turning on the disposal, while it is grinding, and for a few seconds afterward. This practice helps flush out debris and prevents buildup that can cause a clogged garbage disposal.
Avoid Overloading the Disposal
Feeding too much food waste at once can strain the engine and lead to jams. Instead, feed smaller amounts gradually to maintain smooth operation and extend the life of the disposal.
Use the Right Foods and Avoid Problematic Items
Keep fibrous vegetables, bones, and large pits out of the disposal to avoid damage or causing a major blockage. These tough items are among the most common culprits behind a clogged garbage disposal.
Clean the Disposal Properly
Freshen the unit by grinding ice cubes and a small amount of citrus peel to help clean the blades and minimize odors. Regular cleaning prevents the buildup of food particles that often lead to clogging and dulls the disposal’s effectiveness.
