Portland Plumber: 4 Ways to Fix Your Garbage Disposal
It’s so easy to start shoving and pouring everything down your garbage disposal—that’s why it’s there, right? Well, not exactly. We must learn to be nice to our garbage disposals!
Of course, you don’t want to get a fork or other object caught up and mangled in there, but here’s a quick list of organic matter you may not have thought of that should steer clear of your kitchen sink drain:
- Bacon Grease
- Yogurt
- Milk
- Cheese
Not only will these products emit a nasty odor, but they can be very damaging to your sink’s piping. Dairy products and greasy fats begin to coat your pipes, eventually building up a thick residue that may cause serious damage, particularly in older homes with galvanized drain lines. The first sign of a problem is when the disposal grinder comes to a halt. Usually, this can be fixed by simply hitting the reset button underneath the sink. So, what can you do to help?
Here Are 4 Tips
- Avoid Putting Fat or Dairy Down the Drain
- Check the Reset Switch Under Your Sink
- Use Common Sense: Don’t Shove a Whole Turkey Down There
- Call 3 Mountains Home Services for a New Garbage Disposal Installation (with a warranty)
