Garbage Disposal Tips & Repair Services

Carlong Plumbing offers essential tips and insights into the proper use of your garbage disposal, ensuring it serves your home without the hassle of unexpected clogs or damage. Understanding the limitations and capabilities of your disposal can significantly enhance its efficiency and lifespan.

THE REAL PURPOSE OF YOUR DISPOSAL

Contrary to popular belief, garbage disposals are designed for light food residue, not as an alternative to the trash can for food waste disposal.

SMART USAGE FOR LONGEVITY

While it's tempting to use the disposal as a quick fix for cleanup, mindful usage is key. Always run cold water during and after disposal use to help move waste through the pipes. Regular cleaning with safe, disposal-friendly methods can also maintain its efficacy and prevent odors.

FOODS TO AVOID

Certain foods are notorious for causing blockages and should never find their way down your disposal. These include:

Expandable Foods: Rice and pasta can expand in your pipes, leading to clogs.

Fibrous Foods: Items like celery or corn husks can entangle the disposal blades.

Hard Objects: Bones and coffee grounds can damage the disposal unit and accumulate in pipes, creating stubborn blockages.
