Garbage disposals can make life at home much easier. They are designed to dispose of small scraps of food that are rinsed from dishes before washing or placing them into a dishwasher. When used properly, garbage disposals protect your plumbing from clogs, by breaking up larger pieces of food waste to tiny particles that can pass through the pipes. One of the most common problems that bring about a need for garbage disposal repair is that many people are unaware of what should and should not be put into the disposal, leading to clogs and other garbage disposal repair issues.

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 scrapes 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 Precision Plumbing Solutions due to the risks from handling sharp blades and also working with electricity in an environment that includes water.
