A garbage disposal is an invaluable addition to any kitchen. It makes cleanup a lot easier and reduces the rate of waste accumulation. That said, disposals are subject to significant wear and tear over time and can develop problems.
If you’re experiencing an issue, call Patterson Plumbing for garbage disposal repair services in Greenville, TX. Waiting to see if a malfunction will worsen runs the risk that it does. The repair bill could get bigger, or you may even have to opt for an early garbage disposal replacement.
Garbage Disposal Repair and Replacement
A common mistake is not maintaining garbage disposals until there’s a problem. Homeowners should inspect and clean their units once a week. You should also schedule a professional inspection and cleaning at least once a year. Proactively dealing with wear and tear can extend the system’s lifespan and help avoid the most common repairs.
Watch for indications your system needs professional attention. That includes slow drainage. You can try clearing the clog and running hot water. Still, if slow drainage continues to be a problem, it could suggest a blockage deeper in the drain line. Letting the clog worsen could result in having to replace various drainage components.
An isolated tripped breaker usually isn’t a big deal. It could be an anomalous power event, a temporary blockage, or a unit that needs a reset. If it continues to happen, it could be a big deal, though. You may have a worn breaker, an overloaded circuit, or a motor that’s overheating or otherwise malfunctioning.
You may have to decide between a garbage disposal replacement and a repair. Well-maintained garbage disposals can last upward of 15 years. Still, consider replacing as early as eight years if a repair is expensive or the unit is in poor condition. Modern systems are more energy and water efficient. They also have advanced maintenance features, such as auto-reverse grinding to clear jams automatically.
Monitor these other signs you may need to schedule garbage disposal repair or replacement services.
