DRAIN CLEANING
Garbage disposals can increase the risk of clogs and blockages in your drain pipes, making regular drain cleaning crucial for proper function. Before installing a new disposal, it’s important to ensure your drains are in good condition and free from clogs or damage. Our professional plumbers can assess your plumbing system and perform any necessary drain cleaning or repairs before installation to prevent future problems.
WATER SOFTENER
While upgrading your plumbing/kitchen with the garbage disposal, why not upgrade your water? By switching your home to soft water, you remove all the heavy minerals and particles that come with water, known as hard water. Hard water can wear down your plumbing appliances over time, which you want to avoid. Contact us today & our team can assess your situation and recommend the best water softener.
SINK REPAIR
If you’re fixing your garbage disposal, it’s worth considering whether your sink also needs attention. Over time, sinks can become worn, leading to leaks and other issues. Doing a sink repair simultaneously with your garbage disposal can save you time and money in the long run. Our professional plumbers can assess your sink’s condition and recommend any necessary repairs or replacements.

GARBAGE DISPOSAL FAQS
TIPS TO KEEP YOUR GARBAGE DISPOSAL RUNNING SMOOTHLY
You should run cold water while using it, regularly run hot water down your disposal when it’s not running & use a garbage disposal cleaner regularly to help keep it clean & clog free.
THINGS TO NEVER DO TO DO YOUR GARBAGE DISPOSAL
Knowing what food shouldn’t go in the disposal is important. For example, never put grease, oil, or fat down the drain; avoid putting non-food items or hard materials like glass, metal, or plastic down the drain, don’t overload it with too much food waste; and don’t put fibrous or stringy materials like corn husks or celery down the drain.
WHAT'S THE WORST THING TO PUT DOWN A GARBAGE DISPOSAL?
The worst thing to put down is something that can damage the blades or motor, like bones, fruit pits, or non-food items like glass or metal. If any of these items fall in by accident, take caution and unplug your system before attempting to remove said items. Also, never insert your hand into the disposal.
CAN YOU INSTALL A GARBAGE DISPOSAL ON ANY SINK?
Yes! Garbage disposals can be installed on any sink with a standard drain opening and sufficient space for the unit under the sink. Call us today if you have any questions.
WHY IS MY GARBAGE DISPOSAL NOT WORKING?
Garbage disposals may not work if they are clogged, overloaded, or have a malfunctioning motor. Check to see if any food or debris is blocking the blades, reset the disposal using the reset button or circuit breaker, and give us a call if the issue persists.
WHERE IS GARBAGE DISPOSAL RESET BUTTON?
The reset button is usually near the motor at the bottom of the unit. It may be red or black and require pushing in or turning to reset the disposal.
DOES GARBAGE DISPOSAL NEED GFCI?
Yes! For safety reasons, a garbage disposal should be installed with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). GFCI helps prevent electric shock during a short circuit or electrical malfunction.
WHAT GARBAGE DISPOSAL DO I NEED?
The type of disposal you need depends on your household’s needs and the type of sink and plumbing you have. Our professional plumbers can recommend the best type and size of garbage disposal for your home.
CAN GARBAGE DISPOSAL DRAIN INTO DISHWASHER? ARE GARBAGE DISPOSAL AND DISHWASHER CONNECTED?
No! The two appliances are connected, but in a way that allows your dishwasher to drain into your garbage disposal. Not the other way around.
IS INSTALLING A GARBAGE DISPOSAL HARD?
Installing a garbage disposal can be a complex and potentially dangerous task, especially if you are not experienced with plumbing or electrical work. Therefore, it is recommended to have a professional plumber install your garbage disposal for safety and to ensure it is installed properly.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO INSTALL A GARBAGE DISPOSAL?
The time can vary depending on the unit type, the installation’s complexity, and any necessary repairs or modifications to the plumbing. Installing a disposal can take anywhere from 2-4 hours.
IS IT BETTER TO THROW FOOD AWAY OR USE A GARBAGE DISPOSAL?
No, it is not better to throw food away! Using a garbage disposal can be a convenient and eco-friendly way to dispose of food waste. By reducing the amount of garbage, you also help the environment.
IS IT BETTER TO COMPOST OR USE A GARBAGE DISPOSAL?
Nope, it’s beneficial to do both! What can’t go down your drain can also go into your compost. Combining the two reduces your carbon footprint.
