Common Causes of Garbage Disposal Problems

Even the toughest garbage disposals can encounter issues. Here are some common culprits:

Clogs: Avoid putting bones, fibrous vegetables (like celery), eggshells, coffee grounds, grease, pasta, and other non-biodegradable items down the drain.
Broken parts: Over time, blades, motors, and other components can wear down or break.
Improper installation: A poorly installed disposal can lead to leaks, clogs, and other problems.
Age and wear-and-tear: Like any appliance, disposals have a lifespan and eventually need replacement.

Why Garbage Disposal Repair & Maintenance Matter

Don't wait for a complete breakdown! Regular maintenance can prevent costly repairs and extend the life of your garbage disposal. Here's why it's crucial:

Prevent clogs and blockages: Regular cleaning and proper use can keep your disposal running freely.
Reduce the risk of leaks: Catching minor issues early can prevent water damage and costly repairs.
Improve performance and efficiency: A well-maintained disposal operates more effectively and uses less energy.
Eliminate foul odors: Regular cleaning prevents food buildup and eliminates unpleasant smells.

Maximize Your Garbage Disposal's Lifespan

Here are some tips to keep your garbage disposal happy and healthy:

Run cold water: Always run cold water while using the disposal to help flush away food waste.
Avoid overloading: Don't shove large amounts of food down the disposal at once. Feed it gradually.
Grind citrus fruit peels: Citrus peels can help freshen up your disposal and eliminate odors.
Use ice cubes: Occasionally grinding ice cubes can help sharpen the blades and remove debris.
Schedule professional maintenance: My Plumbing Friends offers annual maintenance checks to keep your disposal in top shape.
