When they are working well, garbage disposals are among the most convenient of modern plumbing accessories. But when they go bad, they can go very bad indeed. A sink full of dishes, and a garbage disposal that doesn’t work, is a bad combination. A bad disposal is also likely to have bad breath, which will not improve the situation. Being careful what you put through the disposal would be a good start toward good disposal maintenance. You can also try to be sure to use the right amount of water with the garbage, and allow the water to run at the end of the session. To avoid serious garbage disposal problems, make sure you have a good garbage disposal, properly installed, and then maintain it well. But if the worst happens, there is always your local plumber. A qualified and experienced plumbing contractor will reply or replace your disposal quickly, and get you back to a happy homeowner condition once more.
