We Install Garbage Disposals

Installing a garbage disposal is tricky business. You technically could do it yourself, but we really don’t recommend it. First, installing a completely new disposal involves altering the drain pipe for your kitchen sink. If done incorrectly, you could end up with leaks or a disposal that doesn’t drain properly. Second, after the disposal is in place you’re going to need to wire it into the home’s power grid.

Unless you have professional training, and the proper tools, you should never attempt your own electrical work. The amount of power running through your home’s grid can easily seriously injure or kill you if you make a mistake. So, if you need to have a garbage disposal installed in your home, call AllTech Services, Inc..

How to Make Your Garbage Disposal Last Longer

There are a number of ways to make your garbage disposal last longer, so that you can get the maximum return on your investment. First, you should be sure to avoid putting certain food waste down the disposal. Fibrous foods like celery and onion skins can tangle the impeller in the disposal, causing it to break down. FOG (Fats, Oils, and Grease) should also be thrown away rather than being poured into the disposal. FOG tends to congeal as it cools, forming a viscous substance that will clog the disposal. Hard materials, like ice, bones, and fruit pits, should be avoided as they can break the impeller.

Aside from avoiding certain kinds of food waste, you should also be sure to schedule annual garbage disposal maintenance services. This will help your technician to identify problems with your disposal, and fix them before they have the chance to cause too much damage.
