We could find the the best garbage disposal for your kitchen’s needs and budget, ensuring professional installation. We can also help with garbage disposal repair through quick diagnosis and repair service.
A working garbage disposal saves effort and time within the kitchen. Unfortunately, it’s not necessarily clear what should and should not go in them, which leads to clogs or damage. Here are some problems we commonly encounter:
You need to run cool water into the disposal while it’s on since cold water solidifies any oil poured in, making it simpler for the blades to break down waste. Garbage disposals must also be utilized regularly to prevent the formation of rust.
A leaky garbage disposal is a simple fix if you can find the root cause. Any old or damaged parts should always be replaced. Disposals may start to leak because of:
Most leaks can be fixed except when in the system or interior lining of the disposal. If this is the case, you will need to replace it with a new garbage disposal.
It usually takes a DIYer an entire afternoon to discover and complete this and other simple repairs, so keep that in mind when contemplating calling a pro. Having an Expert plumber like one from Enercare Rob's Albertan investigate and fix your issue offers time to notice other components about to fail. You can resolve both problems immediately.
To eliminate the possibility of your garbage disposal smelling, food scraps must be ground up right away with cold water. Thirty seconds is more than enough time. Avoid pouring coffee grounds, eggshells, potato peels and banana peels into your disposal, since they often cause drainage issues and unpleasant smells. Although bleach seems like a great idea for cleaning your garbage disposal, it hardens grease along with other food residue in your pipes, producing clogs.
Our Expert plumbers advise using these cleaning chemicals each week to keep your disposal smelling fresh:
You can even buy garbage disposal pods or grind up citrus peels to help remove odors. If your garbage disposal still smells, you could be dealing with a leak (especially if the smell resembles a sewer). Contact us at 780-477-3261 for Expert plumbing repair.
A diagnostic fee, also known as a service call fee, is a typical charge used by HVAC companies once someone is sent out to your home to diagnose any and all problems with your heating or cooling system. This fee covers the technician’s time, experience and travel expenses associated with looking into the problem. It’s basically a service fee for the technician’s professional inspection to identify the cause of the malfunction.
It’s like a doctor’s appointment. They have to perform a thorough checkup to learn more about what’s wrong before suggesting treatment. Just the same, your HVAC professional must examine your system to determine the best repair or maintenance steps.
