Garbage Disposal Cleaning

The most common garbage disposal problem is a clog – a clog that almost always results from overloading with food debris and often happens during a holiday meal. At Gettemy Drain, we understand your need to get the clog cleared quickly, especially if you are entertaining.

Our technicians are always here to help, but understanding your garbage disposal and how to troubleshoot it can reduce your risk of a disposal issue.

Garbage disposal tips

• Your garbage disposal can be reset! If your disposal clogs, check for a button or a slot on the bottom of the unit. Pressing the button will reset the unit, or a hex key that came with your disposal will fit in the slot to clear the jam.
• Your disposal is not designed to handle glass, plastic, metal, or paper, as well as the following food items:
  1. 1. Potato peels
     2. Stringy vegetables
     3. Egg shells
     4. Coffee grounds
     5. Bones and pits
     6. Grease
     7. Pasta or rice in large quantities
• Running your disposal with cold water helps grind soft food and grease particles more efficiently.
• Keep your disposal clean and corrosion-free by running it frequently and occasionally adding a small amount of dish soap.

If your garbage disposal is clogged or has malfunctioned, the technicians at Gettemy Drain have the equipment to clear the clog and parts on hand to make any repair.
