Garbage disposals are a great modern part of any clean and efficient kitchen. Most people already know what a garbage disposal does, as it can help break down bigger pieces of food that may clog and block the sink from draining properly. When it comes to a garbage disposal, Brookridge residents should know that it can experience a multitude of problems, just like any other appliance. It is important to know that most of these problems can be corrected by calling a professional that knows how to diagnose and fix garbage disposals, and it may be cheaper than going out and buying a whole new garbage disposal. Here are some of the common issues that homeowners are experiencing.
Slow Draining Garbage Disposal
A garbage disposal may not be broken, but it could be not working as it once did. For example, it is possible that a garbage disposal is taking much longer to drain the water and food in your sink than it normally does. When it comes to this issue with a garbage disposal, Brookridge residents should be made aware that one reason this can be happening is because there is a clog further down the pipe, which will need to be corrected to fix the issue. Another common reason while this could be happening is because the blades of the garbage disposal are getting dull, and are no longer breaking up food as it once did.
Leaking Garbage Disposal
Another common problem that homeowners may notice is happening with their garbage disposal is that it is leaking. If this is happening to your garbage disposal, Brookridge residents should be made aware that you will not have to replace the whole system to fix the issue! It could mean that some parts need to be tightened, or it could just need a new o-ring to fix the issue. If you start to notice that your garbage disposal is leaking, it is best to not use the unit until a professional has come out and assessed the situation, and find the source of the leak.
