Is it time to replace your garbage disposal?

Your garbage disposal plays a crucial role in keeping your kitchen clean and functional. It keeps your kitchen trash pail clean and odor-free. It helps reduce the amount of food waste in landfills, decreasing harmful greenhouse gas emissions. The disposal prevents food waste from blocking your pipes, making cleanup a breeze.

Installing a New Garbage Disposal

Your kitchen's garbage disposal works tirelessly to keep your space clean. For optimal performance, a garbage disposal must be installed correctly, with the utmost care and expertise from Coats Bend Plumbing Services. We offer comprehensive services to ensure the installation of your garbage disposal is smooth, including leak detection and sewer repairs. Rest assured, we’ll install your garbage disposal correctly, whether it’s a first-time installation or a replacement.

A well-maintained garbage disposal will generally last 12 to 15 years. If your disposal frequently jams or makes excessive noise, it could be nearing the end of its lifespan. Every garbage disposal installation we undertake is customized to fit your specific plumbing and electrical setup. If you're installing a garbage disposal for the first time, we’ll verify that your plumbing can support it. Our team will guide you in selecting the right garbage disposal based on your preferences and budget.

A powerful disposal is a great option for larger households or those who often cook at home. Typically, more powerful disposals are larger than standard models, and space under your sink may determine the right model. Do you have a preference for stainless steel or galvanized steel materials? Would you prefer a hard-wired disposal or one that uses a standard electrical outlet? Would you benefit more from a continuous feed or batch feed garbage disposal?

With a continuous feed model, you can add food waste while it operates. A batch feed disposal only operates when the drain is sealed with a stopper, adding an extra layer of safety. We offer expert guidance on features like noise reduction technology, multi-stage grinding, push-button starters, and dishwasher connectors. We provide financing solutions to help you purchase the right equipment within your budget.

How to Extend the Life of Your Garbage Disposal

Keep your garbage disposal running smoothly with these simple maintenance suggestions. Keep your drain smelling fresh by grinding lemon peels. Stay away from fibrous foods (e.g., celery) and tough waste (like fruit pits or bones). Some advanced disposals can handle tougher waste, so check your model’s instructions. Occasionally grind ice cubes to sharpen the blades. Avoid putting grease and shellfish shells into your disposal. Always run cold water when using the disposal to help flush food particles down the drain. Avoid overloading the disposal with excessive food scraps.
