Why Garbage Disposal Repair & Maintenance Matter

A lot of homeowners are quick to schedule inspection for the dryer, washer, fridge, oven as well as stove, on the other hand for some reason keeps their garbage disposal on the back burner. Sad to say, a lot of people do not call in the disposal appliance repair experts until something goes awfully wrong. 

The most common and perhaps the popular reason for a non-working disposal is also the most avoidable; lack of maintenance. Not like many other appliances, it could be hard to tell when your disposal is working as well as it must be.

Items You Should Never Put Down Your Garbage Disposal

Garbage disposals are exceptionally convenient, but it is important to know the do's and don'ts associated with its function. They can be expensive to replace or repair, so it's better to proactively prevent issues from arising in the first place. 

For example, these are a few things to never put down your garbage disposal: 

  • Bones of any kind
  • Egg shells 
  • Celery 
  • Carrot or potato peels
  • Coffee grounds
  • Grease
  • Pasta

The Importance of Scheduling Regular Maintenance for Your Garbage Disposal

While a garbage disposal is a convenient appliance, it is also a mechanical device that requires regular maintenance in order to work properly. At Mike's Plumbing, we recommend scheduling a professional maintenance appointment for your garbage disposal every year.

During this appointment, our plumbers will inspect your garbage disposal to make sure that it is not damaged or beginning to wear out. We can also clean your garbage disposal to get rid of any buildup that can cause your garbage disposal to stop working.

If you don't schedule regular maintenance appointments for your appliances, you may not realize that your garbage disposal is on its last leg until it suddenly stops working. This can result in more extensive repair and more costly expenses. By scheduling a maintenance appointment with our plumbers, you can avoid this problem.
