A working garbage disposal saves time and effort in the kitchen. Unfortunately, it’s not at all times clear what should and shouldn’t go in them, which results in clogs or damage. Here are a few problems we commonly handle:
You should always run cool water into the disposal while it’s on since cold water solidifies any oil poured in, making it easier for the blades to break waste down. Garbage disposals should also be used regularly to avoid the formation of rust.
A leaky garbage disposal is a simple fix if you can find the root cause. Any old or damaged parts should be replaced. Disposals may start to leak due to:

Having an Expert technician like one from Calverley Service Experts diagnose and repair your problem offers time to notice other components about to fail. You can resolve both problems right then and there.

Our plumbing Experts suggest using these cleaning solutions each week to keep your disposal smelling fresh:
You can also buy garbage disposal pods or grind up citrus peels to help clear out odors. If your garbage disposal still smells, you might be dealing with a leak (especially if the smell resembles a sewer). Contact us at 817-380-5647 for Expert plumbing service.
