Houston Garbage Disposal Tips

To help minimize the need for garbage disposal repair, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• Cold water – Use only cold water when grinding food as hot water can melt fat which clogs in other areas of your draining when it cools.
• Overfilling – Garbage disposals are the unsung heroes of kitchens, yet they are often overloaded which can lead to clogging and burned out motors.
• Running water – Always run water before and after using your garbage disposal. As with any sort of pump designed for use with water, they wear when running dry.
• Drain cleaners – Never use bleach or drain cleaners in your unit.
• Hard items – Any hard food scraps or waste should be avoided such as bones, pits, and coffee grounds as well as any items made of rubber, metal, or glass.

While many people do attempt to perform garbage disposal repair themselves; it is highly recommended to seek the assistance from professionals like Wedgeworth Plumbing due to the risks from handling sharp blades and also working with electricity in an environment that includes water.
