While garbage disposals are not present in every kitchen, they become a crucial tool for those who do have them! When a garbage disposal breaks, a kitchen becomes less efficient, and the disposal can clog. When your garbage disposal is broken, it’s time to call the experts from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing.
Garbage disposal units are useful because they shred food waste into pieces small enough to pass through plumbing. So, a garbage disposal helps trap and shred the food that would have caused significant plumbing issues in the past. In short, garbage disposals are more than useful—they can prevent costly plumbing issues.
Common Causes of Garbage Disposal Breakdowns
Garbage disposals handle a lot. Many of us use them to chew up and dispose of our waste. However, after years of use, garbage disposals are prone to problems just like any other machine. If your garbage disposal doesn’t turn on, take the following steps:
- Avoid putting your hands into your unit.
- Make sure the appliance is plugged into a working outlet.
- Turn off the disposal switch.
- Press the reset switch, likely located on the front or bottom of the unit.
- Try powering the unit on to see if it is working.
If the above does not work, it’s time to call the Benjamin Franklin Plumbing experts. Our team is ready to quickly come to your home, diagnose the problem, and provide a solution that gets your garbage disposal working once again.
What to Expect During a New Garbage Disposal Installation
During installation, we’ll remove your old unit (if one is present), make sure your new one is in great condition, install it, and then make sure it is functioning as efficiently and reliably as possible. After we’re done, we’ll clean up after ourselves to leave your home just as it was before we left!
Our experts understand the ins and outs of plumbing. We’ve seen it all and understand how to prevent future issues with your unit. If there is any issue at all with your unit, we’ll come back and make sure it’s fixed. We’ll ensure your garbage disposal is leak-free, correctly connected to a power source, and adequately installed to prevent breakdowns and promote long-lasting use.
