How to Maintain Your Garbage Disposal

Your home's plumbing system is a vital part of daily life, but it's easy to take it for granted until a problem arises. One common issue many homeowners face is clogged drains. While minor clogs can often be resolved with a plunger or some DIY solutions, knowing when it's time for professional drain cleaning can save you from more significant plumbing headaches. In this blog, we'll explore the signs that indicate it's time to schedule drain cleaning services.

"The plumber was kind and clearly experienced. He talked us through each step. Our kitchen pipe burst overnight. We called in the morning and it was repaired by the afternoon."

Your garbage disposal is a kitchen workhorse, but misuse or neglect can lead to clogs and damage. In this blog, we’ll cover how to keep it running smoothly.

Avoid Grease and Fibrous Foods: Grease, celery, and potato peels can cause jams.
Stick to soft scraps and run cold water while operating the disposal.

Clean with Ice and Citrus: Ice helps sharpen blades while citrus peels freshen the system.
A monthly cleaning routine prevents buildup and odors.

That constant drip-drip sound might seem minor, but it can signal underlying problems and cost you over time. This blog explains why it's important to take action quickly.

Water Waste: A single dripping faucet can waste hundreds of gallons a year.
Fixing it can conserve water and reduce your utility bill significantly.

Worn-Out Washers or Seals: Most leaks are caused by inexpensive parts wearing out.
Replacing them is an easy fix that restores proper function to your faucet.
