How Garbage Disposals Protect Your Plumbing System

Garbage disposals are an essential component of modern kitchens. They help to grind up and dispose of food waste quickly and efficiently, reducing the amount of solid waste that goes down your drains and into your plumbing system. However, garbage disposals do more than just make kitchen clean-up easier. They also play an important role in protecting your plumbing system from damage.

Here are a few ways that garbage disposals help to protect your plumbing system:

Prevent Clogs: When food waste is not ground up properly, it can create blockages in your pipes and cause clogs. Garbage disposals help to break down food waste into small particles that can easily pass through your plumbing system without causing any blockages.

Minimize Foul Odors: When food waste is left to sit in your kitchen trash can, it can create unpleasant odors that can permeate throughout your home. Garbage disposals help to minimize foul odors by grinding up food waste and flushing it down your drain where it can be safely and cleanly disposed of.

Reduce Pipe Corrosion: When solid waste is left to accumulate in your pipes, it can create a buildup of corrosive acids that can eat away at your plumbing system over time. Garbage disposals help to break down food waste and prevent the buildup of these corrosive substances, helping to prolong the lifespan of your pipes.

Prevent Backups: When food waste is not disposed of properly, it can create blockages in your plumbing system that can cause backups and flooding. Garbage disposals help to prevent backups by grinding up food waste and flushing it down your drain in small, manageable pieces.

Garbage disposals play an important role in protecting your plumbing system from damage. They help to prevent clogs, minimize foul odors, reduce pipe corrosion, and prevent backups. If you’re experiencing problems with your garbage disposal, it’s important to have it repaired or replaced as soon as possible to ensure that your plumbing system stays healthy and functional.

DIY Garbage Disposal Repairs

Since we’ve been plumbers for most of our adult lives, we’ve heard a lot of different stories about do-it-yourself plumbing repairs. Many of the horror stories we’ve been told have to do with fixing the garbage disposal. For some reason, many people think repairing that part of their kitchen plumbing is easy enough to tackle on their own.

Unfortunately, while it is a straightforward task on paper, it can quickly become one of the most complicated kitchen plumbing repairs possible. Most people don’t realize how heavy a new (or old) garbage disposal is, and once that baby comes loose, it’s not easy to hold it up there while you bolt or unbolt it to the plumbing.

Of course, we’re biased, but we believe that unless you have experience installing a garbage disposal, it’s best to call a plumber. We’re happy to help.

What Goes Into The Garbage Disposal…

 Everyone has heard the story of someone dropping their wedding or engagement ring in the garbage disposal. That’s a fun retrieval for sure, but we’ve been amazed at some of the things we’ve seen go down the kitchen sink. Here’s a short list:

Kitchen utensils (makes sense)- knives, spoons, etc.

• Pumpkin guts- really bad idea
• Steak bones
• Cell phones
• TV remotes
• Plastic utensils
• Broken glass
• Beer cans
• Combs
• Action Figures

Basically, if it can fit down the drain, it can be chewed up by your garbage disposal. Now, we’re not saying the disposal will survive what you put down there. We’re just saying we’ve seen a lot of different things go in.

Proper Garbage Disposal Care

While it’s fun to think of all the things we’ve seen go down the kitchen sink, it’s important, once your garbage disposal is working properly, to take proper care of it. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of Do’s and Don’ts around maintaining the life of your garbage disposal.

Garbage Disposal Do’s

• Run your disposal regularly and keep it clean. Using it occasionally will prevent corrosion and other issues.
• Clean it every so often. Pour some dish soap down there and run it with cold water for a minute.
• Never run your garbage disposal with warm water when there is food waste down there. Cold water can help solidify and chop up any grease that may be down there.
• Never put big food items down there. While it may sort of look like it, it’s not a wood chipper.
• That being said, some people scrape their plates into the trash, but you can put things like egg shells and small fish bones down there.

Garbage Disposal Don’ts:

This is where a little common sense goes a long way. First and foremost, think of your garbage disposal as your friend only when it comes to getting rid of smaller biodegradable food products. Anything else can seriously damage the motor or the blades. If you every catch yourself wondering, “Should I put this in the garbage disposal?” the answer is always “NO!”

• Never put anything plastic, metal or glass down there.
• Never put any bacon grease (or any other type of grease) down the kitchen sink. This could seriously damage the grinding functionality and clog your drain.
• Avoid putting any fibrous food products down there- celery, etc. That can damage the motor.
• We suggest you avoid putting potato peels in your disposal. We’ve seen potatoes turn pasty and really gum things up.
• No large animal bones.
