What to Consider For Your Garbage Disposal Installation
Your goal in choosing the right garbage disposal for your house is to consider a number of important factors that will amply serve the needs of your household:
- You determine the motor power: for small households with few food leftovers, 1/3 to 1/2 horsepower may suffice, while larger households or those who cook more often may need 3/4 to 1 horsepower. Then comes the grinding technology, and in that light, multi-stage grinding system disposals will do quite well for really hard foodstuff to grind with less risk of clogs.
- When it comes to the noise levels, they should have sound insulation for quiet performance.
- Other components made from stainless steel ensure durability and are resistant to corrosion, prolonging the useful life of your disposal.
- Consider your budget and garbage disposal installation requirements, then call MVP Plumbers for a professional, smooth installation based on your kitchen needs.
Put The Old Garbage Disposal Behind You
Are you ready to replace your garbage disposal? Most homeowners wait until they're not working altogether before they decide to replace it. Your garbage disposal will last around ten to twelve years before they're ready to be recycled. I think most would agree that garbage disposals and water heaters are the most heavily used appliances in the house and need to be running at peak performance at all times. Consequently, they have been known to have their fair share of problems when used over many years. Knowing how to address the issues can save us from purchasing a new one before it's time. Consider a professional garbage disposal installation from MVP Plumbers.
Fix It And Extend The Life Of Your Disposal
If you turn on your garbage disposal and don't hear a buzzing sound, then the unit has overheated. This problem is common and is caused by overloading the disposal. Your disposal has a red reset button located on the bottom of the unit. If the unit still does not engage after the reset button is pushed, check the circuit breaker box for a tripped breaker. As long as the disposal is buzzing, the unit is probably jammed.
Your Opinion Matters!
Safety First When Troubleshooting Your Garbage Disposal
Below are some fundamental steps you can take to unjam your disposal. First, turn off the garbage disposal from the circuit breaker box. You can make sure the power is off by turning the disposal switch on and off. In almost all cases, something got jammed in the impellers. It could be a bottle cap, bone, or an excessive amount of food. Whatever the case, take a 1/4-inch hex wrench and place it in the hex-shaped hole on the bottom of the unit. Move the wrench back and forth in both directions to free up the impellers.
Most of us don't have a hex wrench, so take a wooden handle from a broom or plunger, put it down the drain, and pry it loose. Believe it or not, this will loosen your impeller and save the cost of a plumber. NEVER put your hand down the disposal. Once the garbage disposal loosens up, use a flashlight to see down the drain for any object. Use tongs or a magnet to remove what was causing the obstruction.
Here Are Some Tips For Caring For Your Garbage Disposal - Don't overload your garbage disposal with food scraps.
- Turn on the cold water while food scraps are ground up.
- Never pour grease down your disposal.
- When you turn off the appliance, allow water to run for a few seconds longer to remove the remaining food particles.
- You can clean your disposal by using baking soda and vinegar.
- Avoid putting hard and fibrous food down your disposal.
Hard foods such as seeds, peach stones, popcorn kernels, and bones can jam your unit. Fibrous foods like celery stalks, onion skins, corn husks, and banana peels should never go down the disposal. Fibrous foods tend to wrap around the impellers.

After 20 years, my water heater went out. My home warranty service put me in touch with Murrieta plumbing company.

Outstanding work, work-ethic, and installation of a new sink in our home. The service was terrific, and Garret as the on-site rep installing the sink made a tough job seem easy, with great respect to our expectations and precision.
With a very fair price, I highly recommend them for plumbing and install work.

The gentleman was on time, professional, and didn't charge me an "arm and a leg" for his services. Murrieta Plumbing company will...
