Ultimate Guide to Garbage Disposal Installation and Maintenance 

A garbage disposal is an indispensable appliance in any kitchen, streamlining food waste disposal and maintaining cleanliness. However, like any household device, a sink disposal unit requires proper care and attention to function effectively. At Strongbuilt Plumbing, Air, & Electric, we understand the importance of a well-maintained garbage disposal and are here to provide comprehensive installation and repair services for your convenience.

Understanding Your Garbage Disposal

A garbage disposal is an essential part of efficient, sanitary food disposal in your kitchen. Garbage disposals grind down your food waste and dispose of it into local sewer systems. The disposal is made of metal parts used to help grind food. If they aren’t kept lubricated, they’re likely to become damaged over time. We recommend using a quality disposal cleaner as well as regular maintenance every month to keep your device running smoothly.

Common Issues with Garbage Disposals

Garbage disposals can develop problems like leaky drains, clogged drains, and a grinding sound from the unit itself. Other potential problems include a blown fuse or tripped circuit, or even something more serious like a broken motor. If your unit is experiencing difficulties or is not functioning at all, contact Strongbuilt and we can take care of all your garbage disposal repair needs.
