It may take a little more time than the other garbage disposal repairs, but you can make it a lot less complicated with Plumber Coppell. Garbage disposal problems often show themselves when you least expect it. So be sure to schedule regular inspections with a garbage disposal service professional. They will take a look at all of the basic components and let you know if there is an issue that needs to be dealt with.

Never put egg shells, potato peels, fish scales, coffee grounds, or large volumes of grease in your garbage can. Regularly clean your garbage bin with a mixture of water and vinegar to get rid of buildup and dangerous bacteria. Also, try to clean your garbage can with a mixture of baking soda and water to remove buildup and bacteria. Combine a half-cup of baking soda and a half-cup of water, and run the mixture through your trash can to help get rid of bacteria and germs.

Have you noticed the blade teeth on your garbage chutes are separating from the blades? This is common and usually indicates the problem is in the seal between the chute and the drain. You need to take apart your sink drain and see if the divider in the drain is rubbing up against the blades on the chute. If it is rubbing up against the blades on the chute, you need to replace the divider.

The same thing can be said for egg shells. Egg shells clog the blades. If egg shells are constantly being left in the machine, it may be time to repair the unit. You should check to see if there are cracks on the sides of the machine and look carefully at the drain holes to see if you can see small pieces of shell. You may want to use a flashlight to inspect your drainage system for clogs.

A great garbage disposal repair is often overlooked by homeowners. It is when grinding food comes in contact with the grinding teeth that clogs up. Homeowners often don’t consider using vegetable oil or other cooking agents to lubricate the grinding surfaces when food is being ground. This causes a buildup of pressure and when this pressure is released, the grinding plate becomes unresponsive and begins to grind. To remedy this problem, place a few drops of vegetable oil or other cooking agent into the drain hole and add a couple of turns of hose clamps to prevent excess water from entering the drain.

Sometimes garbage disposals will engage and disengage themselves without a homeowner ever noticing anything wrong. The problem occurs when the drain tube is closed but the waste disposal continues to run because it hasn’t been turned on yet. To fix this, simply remove the trash from the drain pipe before turning on the appliance and reset the drain button. If you reset the button while the trash is still in the drain, the plumber may recommend that you run a drain line test to make sure the drain is open and running.

If your garbage disposals start cutting off power to your home, the first thing you should do is check to make sure the circuit breaker is tripped. There could be a fuse or wire connection issue causing the problem and the circuit breaker needs to be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the issue on your own as this could lead to injury to yourself and damage to your home.

Sometimes when garbage disposals grind food and release excess moisture, they can develop what is called a “dryer surge” which can cause a clog in your sink. This is a buildup of excess moisture between the flapper and the drain plug. The condensate that forms can make it difficult for the brain to release the excess water and grind your coffee grounds. If you regularly have to use a plunger to clear out the sink, the clog may need to be replaced. If it doesn’t release water with ease, you can remove the plug from the drain and run a special cleaner through the outlet to help dissolve the build-up.
