Garbage Disposal Services

Keeping Your Kitchen Humming with Professional Plumbing Help

In the 1930s, the first commercial garbage disposal revolutionized how American kitchens disposed of waste. For the first time, food that fell into a drain was no longer a problem! Garbage disposals transformed drains into an easy place to purposely throw food waste. Now, over 50% of American households have a garbage disposal system that makes disposing of waste simpler.

When a garbage disposal breaks, the problem is immediately noticeable. If someone isn’t frustrated by the loss of convenience, they’ll eventually be repulsed by the smells that emit from the garbage disposal! If your disposal system is on the fritz, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing is ready to help! Our team is ready to quickly repair your broken garbage disposal, provide a replacement if needed, or install a completely new unit in your sink. We back all our work with guarantees and are available for same-day appointments.

Common Garbage Disposal Problems

Garbage disposal systems are a workhorse in the kitchen. These devices chew through thousands of pounds of waste before they have any issues. As a result, we are often surprised when they have problems because we trust their reliability. However, no matter how reliable your unit has been, its role in chewing through thick waste means that a problem is inevitable.

Common garbage disposal issues include:

• Odor
• Clogs
• Humming motors with limited to no grinding
• Louder than usual noises
• Leaks below the unit
• Water pooling in the sink area
• Disposals that will not turn on or will not stay on

We are ready to fix every problem listed above. We’re experienced plumbers, and there’s no garbage disposal issue that we haven’t seen or solved! We keep our trucks stocked with parts to finish repairs in just one visit. If your unit needs replacement, we’re prepared to work with your needs and budget to find the perfect replacement for you. Then, we’ll provide a reliable installation backed by a satisfaction guarantee!

Maintaining Your Garbage Disposal

After we install your garbage disposal, maintaining it is the best way to extend its life.

Here are tips for keeping your garbage disposal system running:

• Run ice cubes and citrus peels through it for 30 seconds to take care of smells.
• Avoid dumping excessive food waste into your unit. If you can scoop it with your hand, it shouldn’t go down your drain!
• Flush out your system regularly while running hot water.
