Garbage Disposal Installation and Repair in phoenix and Surrounding Areas

Garbage Disposal Installation

Garbage disposals make eliminating food waste easier and keep the kitchen cleaner. These units are convenient and allow cleaning the plates directly in the sink instead of the trash can. They are attached to the kitchen sink drain, and most modern homes already come with them. In addition to making lives more convenient, garbage disposals also eliminate the odors from garbage cans.

DIY garbage disposal installation isn’t recommended due to the complexity of the procedure and the need to know local codes for setup. However, Simba Plumbing has the solution for every situation for Phoenix residents.

The installation procedure consists of many steps, starting from disposal wiring, inserting the drain flange, the mounting ring, the disposal, connecting outlets to the P-Trap, and leak testing. While the steps may seem simple enough, making one wrong move can result in improper disposal functioning, more waste buildup, and construction damage.

Simba Plumbing experts have the experience, skills, and certifications to perform garbage disposal installation in residential and commercial properties. High-end technology, advanced technique, and affordable pricing make our services some of the best in the area.

Garbage Disposal Repair

Garbage disposals are a household necessity. However, a clogged or jammed garbage disposal can be unpleasant and noisy. Food scraps make up a significant percentage of waste produced by U.S. households. Homeowners let these scraps go down the kitchen sink, and the kitchen drain system clogs eventually. Clogged drains are only one of many reasons why garbage disposal repair is a must.

Homeowners who run hot water down their garbage disposal after discarding fatty oil may notice it leads to more frequent repairs because the fat hardens once it cools and clogs the drain.

Garbage disposals that leak, won’t turn on, or process food slowly need a double-check to ensure there are no undetected issues with the system.

Disposals that emit foul odors could have an issue with the motor or blades. The smell means the food fails to drain and begins to decompose inside the disposal. Also, if a machine is too loud but seems not to macerate food, it could signify a dead motor.

Simba Plumbing specialists can inspect a range of garbage disposal issues and assist the homeowners in ensuring easy, trouble-free operation.

Bathtubs or showers that show any of the signs above should be inspected or replaced to minimize damage or falling risks.

Garbage Disposal FAQs

 

  • Garbage disposals handle many food types. However, they aren’t a replacement for a trash can. This device can process bananas, apples, oranges, food scraps, fruit pits, corn cobs, vegetable scraps, small bones, cooked meat, leftovers, and ice.

  • Garbage disposal owners shouldn’t put grease, clam and oyster shells, oil, large quantities of vegetable peels, eggshells, corn husks, artichokes, and non-food items such as utensils down their unit. Should any of the mentioned items make it into a garbage disposal, it can lead to machine damage, clogged drains, and other issues.

  • Garbage disposals offer flexibility to homeowners when they are cleaning dishes since the disposal can help safely move food through the plumbing system. However, if homeowners regularly discard greasy, fatty food in the disposal, it can lead to clogged pipes. For this reason, it’s not recommended to throw the foods mentioned above into the garbage disposal.

  • Garbage disposals typically range from 10 to 15 inches in height, five to nine inches in width, and six to 10 inches in depth. The machine size suitable for each particular household depends on the amount of cooking performed and the size of the family in question. Ultimately, the nature of the unit depends on the horsepower.

  • Running water through the garbage disposal when it’s operating is recommended. It’s best to do so before turning on the unit, while it’s running, and for 30 seconds after turning off the disposal to help prolong the in-sink appliance’s lifespan and prevent clogs.

  • Water from the dishwasher may back up into the garbage disposal. Ensuring that the drain plug isn’t covering the garbage disposal is essential. If this doesn’t remedy the issue, consider contacting professional plumbers at Simba Plumbing for assistance.

  • The garbage disposal may stop working for several reasons. It could be that the machine lost power due to a blown circuit or came unplugged. Confirm that the plug is secure, and push the reset button to restart it. If nothing happens, repeat the action in 10 minutes.
