Garbage Disposals

man fixing a kitchen sink
Garbage disposal units are meant to be a bit heavy-duty, or at least that is what some people were led to believe. Improper use of these devices though can see them have trouble quite often. As we mentioned that tends to surprise a lot of folks who thought that their garbage disposal unit was a gadget that they could give a bit of rough use to. If you happen to be having constant issues with your garbage disposal unit you are likely going to want to read along. Maybe once you are done reading you can give us a call and have a more clear idea of what it exactly is that we can help you with!
 
Signs That Your Garbage Disposal Unit Needs Some Help
There are a couple of common and easy to spot signs that your garbage disposal unit may not be working properly and may need some help. For example, if your sink seems to be clogging lately where the water is not running down the drain as it should that may be because your garbage disposal unit has not been breaking down food correctly. Another sign is any alteration to the typical sound. It is a lot like a car, if you have never heard that sound come out of there before, there is a chance you have a problem.
 
Which Garbage Disposal Unit Should I Buy?
Some people always like to get the top of the line equipment that promises maximum power and things of that nature. While others are going to bargain hunt. The real problem with spending too much on a garbage disposal unit is that you may not need all that power. The good part is that they are usually the most forgiving; they are not going to break down if you get one chicken bone stuck in there. With cheaper options, you have to be way more careful with what you are putting in. Finding that right balance is the key!
 
Commercial Grade Garbage Disposal Units
We are essentially skimming this topic earlier. The type garbage disposal unit that you are going to need is going to be highly influenced by what your use for it is. If you run a restaurant, even if it is just a small place it is a good idea to install commercial-grade equipment. In fact, most of the problems that we see in these places have to do with the fact that equipment suited for residential use was installed. Most of the time this type of equipment won’t cut it … literally!
 
Repairs on Older Equipment 
There are some folks that are actually very attached to their old equipment. They want us to change out the blades, even the motor, but keep the unit running. We can handle all sorts of repairs. We may feel sort of obligated to talk about the fact that a replacement may be a better option in some instances. If you want a repair done though, we will do it!
