There are a couple of different garbage disposal models available for homeowners to choose from. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the team at MW Plumbing can discuss your needs with you and point you in the right direction.
Continuous feed models allow food to be continuously fed in once it’s started. Batch feed models are designed to place all the food in the disposal before starting it. The units are safer because they’re designed with a cover over the opening that aligns with magnets in the unit, causing it to start. Batch feed units are also much quieter due to the cover. Additionally, the cover on batch feed models prevents foreign objects from falling in.
For some homeowners, garbage disposals are considered an essential fixture in their kitchen due to all their benefits. From convenience to preventing plumbing problems, garbage disposals have several advantages, including:
The best way to avoid premature garbage disposal replacement or emergency garbage disposal repair is to know what to keep out of it in the first place.
To ensure your garbage disposal system continues operating at peak performance, keep it clear of the following items:
Unfortunately, over time, garbage disposals need to be replaced just like any other appliance in your home. If you keep it maintained well and keep it clear of foreign objects, it should last you several years. Here are a few signs it may be time to replace your current garbage disposal:
If your garbage disposal doesn’t turn on, it could be an electrical issue. If you’ve ensured it’s connected to power and it still won’t turn on, a clog or other obstruction may be blocking the blades. If there’s nothing inside the garbage disposal, it may be time to replace it with a new one.
Putting certain foods in your garbage disposal can cause foul odors. Oily foods can stick to the sides of the disposal, and other fibrous foods can get tangled in the blades. If running hot water and degreasing soap down the drain doesn’t get rid of the odor, sometimes food particles can get lodged in the garbage disposal, and replacement might be the only option at that point.
A slowly draining garbage disposal can be caused both by clogs in the garbage disposal itself as well as clogs further down in the drain. If manually turning the blades in your disposal doesn’t help the water drain faster, you can try plunging the drain. If plunging isn’t successful, we recommend you hire a professional plumber to unclog the garbage disposal or drain or replace the unit.
Depending on what’s wrong with your garbage disposal, it can leak from several different areas. Leaks from the top are usually less problematic, as flanges or seals can be replaced easily. If your garbage disposal is leaking from the bottom, the problem is more serious and suggests a damaged seal inside the unit. In these situations, it’s usually more cost-effective to get a whole new unit.
