Garbage disposals generally last between 8 to 15 years, depending on the brand, model, and usage. Regular maintenance can help prolong the life of your garbage disposal.
While some minor issues can be resolved by homeowners, such as unclogging or pressing the reset button, it's best to consult a professional for more complex repairs or installations to ensure safety and proper functioning.
Avoid disposing of fibrous materials (such as celery, corn husks, or artichokes), grease, oil, large bones, eggshells, coffee grounds, and non-food items. These can cause clogs or damage the disposal's motor.
Regularly clean your garbage disposal by running cold water and a mild detergent through it. You can also use ice cubes and citrus peels to clean the grinding chamber and remove odors.
If your garbage disposal is frequently malfunctioning, producing unusual noises, or leaking despite attempts to repair it, it may be time to consider a replacement.
Yes, you can use a garbage disposal with a septic system. However, it's essential to choose a model specifically designed for septic systems and ensure proper maintenance of both the disposal and the septic system to prevent issues.
The cost of installing or repairing a garbage disposal can vary based on factors such as the type of disposal, labor charges, and whether additional plumbing work is required. It's best to consult with a professional, like B.L James & Son Plumbing, for an accurate estimate tailored to your specific needs.
The right size of garbage disposal for your home depends on factors like the size of your household and the frequency of use. For smaller households, a 1/3 or 1/2 horsepower model may be sufficient, while larger families or frequent users may benefit from a 3/4 or 1 horsepower unit. Consult with a professional like B.L James & Son Plumbing to determine the best option for your needs.
