Common Causes of Garbage Disposal Clogs and Problems
The technicians at Akian Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric are familiar with these frequently encountered issues:
- Blockage by Food Products: Putting meats, vegetable peels (or anything fibrous), fats, or greases down the garbage disposal can cause a clog. The same can happen if the system is overloaded, in which case it automatically turns off to prevent overheating.
- Jamming: Anything that overworks the motor may cause the unit to jam, which can cause it to back up, make a mess, and cause your sink to stink. Dirt and grime can also make it inside and jam up the unit, which may require a plumber to clean the P trap.
- Large Objects: Large chunks of food, silverware, and other objects can get caught; it’s often hard to see what goes in when there’s a lot of soapy water. If something gets caught, don’t try to remove it without the help of a professional.
Garbage Disposal Replacement
Replacing your garbage disposal is sometimes the best option. If the unit has failed, this may be the only choice.
Replacing your garbage disposal is sometimes the best option. If the unit has failed, this may be the only choice. A garbage disposal plumber near you can help find the best system for your needs and handle both the electrical and plumbing connections to ensure it is in working order. Garbage disposals also vibrate. While this can be hard on your sink, we’ll make sure your sink is secure and sturdy to ensure your disposal is reliable.
Keep Your Garbage Disposal in Good Working Order
When it comes to installation, repair, and replacement, always trust a trained expert to handle it. However, basic maintenance doesn’t require a professional. You can reduce strain and wear and tear on your garbage disposal by:
- Only Disposing Food: Garbage disposals are designed to break up food, not general trash. Avoid using it for celery, banana peels, and other fibrous foods or rice, pasta, and other expandable food items that can clog up the disposal.
- Use Cool Water While Running the Unit:Cool water allows food to safely pass through the disposal into your plumbing system. With hot water, some foods melt and become harder to grind up.
- Handle Odors Properly: If your garbage disposal becomes smelly, it might need to be cleaned. Easy steps include grinding ice cubes with lemon, lime, or orange rinds for 30 seconds. Liquid dish detergent can help remove odors as well. If any debris remains, rinse the system with cold water for a half a minute.
