Corte Madera Garbage Disposal Repair

Is your garbage disposal acting out of the ordinary? If you hear strange noises, grinding, buzzing, or smell burning coming from your garbage disposal, then you need the help of a professional. We can safely disconnect your garbage disposal and diagnose the issue, performing the necessary repairs in order to return your kitchen back to normal. In some cases, it might make more sense to replace your garbage disposal altogether – in which case, we'll help you choose a new garbage disposal to suit your needs, order it, deliver, and install it for you. Our goal is to make the process easy for you.

We have experience with all brands of disposals, including:

• Badger
  
• Waste King
• InSinkerator
  

Remember: if your garbage disposal is acting up, resist the urge to fix it yourself. The blades of your garbage disposal are VERY sharp, and you should never stick your hand down the sink drain if the disposal is still plugged in. Leave the dirty work up to the pros.

Garbage Disposal Care Tips

If you're looking for a few ways to give your garbage disposal some TLC, read on. Here are our favorite tips for caring for your garbage disposal and preventing damages.

• Avoid harsh chemicals. If your kitchen sink gets clogged, don't pour liquid drain cleaners down it. This is hard on the pipes themselves, as well as the soft rubber gaskets of your garbage disposal. Instead, opt for the old baking soda and vinegar method (or better yet, call a professional plumber).
  
• Don't treat your garbage disposal like a trash can. Sure, your disposal can chop up a lot of food scraps. But should it? Try to avoid putting starchy foods like corn husks down the disposal. These are hard for the blades to chop up, and will result in a drain clog eventually. If you can, scrape off your plates and bowls into a food waste receptacle before rinsing them off in the kitchen sink.
  
• Run the disposal often. Make sure to run the disposal any time food waste enters the kitchen drain.
  
• Never poor grease or hot oils down the disposal. These might start out as liquids, but they turn into solids as soon as they cool off.
  
• Rinse with cool water. Hot water is actually not ideal, since it dries out the soft rubber gaskets.
