Understanding Garbage Disposals
A garbage disposal is a small device installed under your kitchen sink that grinds up food waste, allowing it to pass easily through your plumbing system. It is a convenient tool for disposing of food scraps, reducing the amount of waste in your trash. However, like any appliance, garbage disposals can experience problems over time.
Common Issues with Garbage Disposals
Garbage disposals are built to handle tough jobs but they are not indestructible. Here are some common issues that homeowners encounter:
1. Clogs
Food particles and grease can build up over time in the disposal and pipes, leading to clogs. Your sink could experience water buildup because of this.
2. Jams
Hard objects like bones or silverware can get stuck in the disposal, causing it to jam and stop working.
3. Leaks
A garbage disposal can develop leaks from the seals or connections, leading to water damage under your sink.
4. Noisy Operation
Unusual noises can indicate that something is stuck in the disposal or that the motor is failing.
5. No Power
If your disposal does not turn on, it could be due to an electrical issue or a problem with the unit itself.
When to Repair or Replace Your Garbage Disposal?
Determining whether to repair or replace your garbage disposal depends on the nature and extent of the problem. Minor issues like clogs or jams can often be fixed with a repair. However, if your disposal is old, frequently breaks down, or has significant damage, it may be more cost-effective to replace it.
