Signs that Your Garbage Disposal Needs to Be Repaired or Replaced

  • Persistent Clogs: If you notice that your garbage disposal is consistently clogging, it may be time for a repair or replacement. Frequent clogs can be caused by dull blades, worn-out parts, or even a damaged motor.
  • Strange Noises: If you hear strange noises, such as grinding, rattling, or squeaking, when you turn on your garbage disposal, it may indicate a problem. Strange noises can be caused by worn or damaged parts that need repair or replacement.
  • Leaks or Water Damage: Leaks or water damage around your garbage disposal can indicate a problem. Over time, leaks can lead to mold growth or even water damage. It's best to call a professional plumber who can diagnose and repair the problem to prevent further damage.
  • Foul Odors: If you notice a foul odor coming from your garbage disposal, it may indicate that food particles are stuck in the disposal or that it's not properly grinding up the waste. A professional can clean and deodorize your garbage disposal or suggest a replacement if needed.
  • Age: Garbage disposals have a lifespan of 8-15 years, depending on usage and maintenance. If your garbage disposal is over a decade old and is having persistent problems, it may be time to consider a replacement.

  • Can I repipe my home myself?
    While it is possible to repipe a home yourself, it is not recommended, as it can be a difficult and dangerous process. Repiping a home requires working with water and pipes, which can easily lead to accidents if not done correctly. It is best to leave this job to the professionals.
  • What should I do if my water pressure is low?
    If your water pressure is low, you may need to call a plumber to have your water pressure checked. Low water pressure can be caused by a variety of factors, such as a clogged water filter or a leaky faucet. It's important to address low water pressure as soon as possible, as it can lead to water waste and increased energy costs.
  • How often should I clean my drains?
    It is recommended that you clean your drains every six months. However, if water is backing up into the tub, sink, or toilet in your home when you flush it, then you need to call a plumber right away to clean the drain. If water backs up into your sink then it's probably coming from your shower and vice versa. Cleaning out the lines will prevent water from backing up into your home.
  • What is the best way to clear a clogged grease drain?

    There are a few effective ways to clear a grease-clogged drain.

    • Use boiling water and dish soap to break up grease buildup.
    • Pour water mixed with baking soda into the drain, then pour vinegar on top of it to get a chemical reaction that breaks down grease.
    • Drain cleaners can also remove water buildup and hard water scale.
    • Plumbers recommend using a water-powered mechanical drain cleaner to clear clogs altogether. These machines are easy to use and clear away any type of clog quickly.

    For a badly clogged drain, you may need to hire a professional plumber that can clear out the drain with special equipment.

  • What are the different water heater sizes?

    Water heaters come in a variety of sizes, and the size you need depends on how much water your household uses. Here are some general water heater size guidelines:

    • If you use less than 40 gallons of water per day, a 40- or 50-gallon water heater will be large enough.
    • If you use between 40 and 80 gallons of water per day, a water heater with a capacity of 60 or 80 gallons will probably be required.
    • If you use over 80 gallons of water per day, an 85-gallon water heater should provide an adequate supply.

    Note that these are general guidelines only; how much water your household actually uses may vary. To be sure you have the right water heater size, consult with a plumbing professional.

How to Care for Your Garbage Disposal

  • Use Cold Water: When using your garbage disposal, always run cold water, not hot water. Cold water helps solidify any grease or oil that may be in the disposal, making it easier for it to be chopped up and flow through the system.
  • Avoid Certain Foods: Avoid putting fibrous or starchy foods down the disposal, such as potato peels, banana peels, celery, and corn husks. These items can wrap around the blades and cause clogs or damage to the unit.
  • Don't Overload It: Avoid overloading the garbage disposal. Only put in small amounts of food at a time and let the garbage disposal chop up the food before adding more.
  • Use Cleaning Products: Using a garbage disposal cleaner periodically can help keep the blades and the disposal itself clean. You can also use vinegar and baking soda, which act as natural cleaning agents, to deodorize the disposal.
  • Run Water for 30 Seconds: After turning off the garbage disposal, let the water continue to run for at least 30 seconds. This helps ensure that any remaining food particles are washed down the drain.
  • Schedule Regular Maintenance: To keep your garbage disposal in top shape, schedule regular maintenance with a professional plumber. This can help prevent potential problems and ensure your disposal is working correctly.
