It sometimes seems like you need emergency\u00a0plumbing\u00a0services at the worst of times.\u00a0 And for holiday season that means in the kitchen in the middle of preparing a big meal.\u00a0 So here are some garbage disposal tips to get you through this year, and on through the next.\u00a0 Hopefully you can avoid a garbage disposal installation during this busy time of year.<\/p>\n
Always keep in mind that regardless of the brand, your garbage disposal only has so much horsepower and was never made to handle everything.<\/p>\n

Even with correct use and proper maintenance any appliance will have problems sooner or later.\u00a0 NEVER let your\u00a0hands, other parts of your body,\u00a0or tools anywhere near your disposal when\u00a0it even MIGHT get turned on.\u00a0 Here are some common problems along with how they’re usually resolved.<\/p>\n
Extra Tip:<\/strong>\u00a0 Find that cranking device before<\/em> you need it, as part of your preparation for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.<\/p>\n If there’s a problem you may be wondering about the tradeoffs between disposal installation and repair.\u00a0 If your garbage disposal is no longer covered by a warranty you may be inclined to a garbage disposal repair rather than a replacement.\u00a0 But if it’s well past that date keep in mind that\u00a0most residential makes and models last about 10 years (commercial models may last up to twice that).\u00a0 If one or more repairs were needed previously, then it’s probably time for a new garbage disposal installation.\u00a0 If the motor is burnt out then a replacement will almost always the most economical choice.<\/p>\n If there’s been prior jams or a motor burnout you should consider a more powerful model.\u00a0 Most home models\u00a0have 1\/2 or 3\/4 horsepower motors, but some are only 1\/3 HP (developers often “economize”), and units up to 1 HP are commonly available.\u00a0 Insinuator is the most widely known brand, but quality units are also made by GE (General Electric), Sink master, Whirlpool, and several others.\u00a0 For safety and dependability garbage disposal repairs and installation should only be performed by a licensed plumber who guarantees their work.<\/p>\n Fully licensed and insured, we’re ready to roll 24\/7 for your holiday emergency needs, and throughout the year.\u00a0 As a full-service plumbing company we can take care of all your residential and commercial plumbing services.<\/p>\n Be especially careful\u00a0about letting fats, grease, and oils go down the kitchen drain or garbage disposal.\u00a0 With more cooking and cooler weather it’s even more likely to have grease solidify into a drain-blocking clog.<\/p>\n [\/fusion_builder_column][\/fusion_builder_row][\/fusion_builder_container] \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It sometimes seems like you need emergency\u00a0plumbing\u00a0services at the worst of times.\u00a0 And for holiday season that means in the kitchen in the middle of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11499,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11496","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11496","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11496"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11496\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11499"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11496"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Repair Versus Replace<\/h3>\n
