How can I maximize the life span of my garbage disposal?

• <div><p>As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-keep-your-garbage-disposal-running.htm">proper care and maintenance</a>, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.</p></div>

How long do garbage disposals last?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garbage-disposal-last.htm">Garbage disposals last</a> an average of about 10 years, so it may be time for a new model if it's getting up there in age. Other signs that it's time to bring in a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/install-garbage-disposal/">local garbage disposal pro</a> include:</p><ul><li><p>Leaks under your disposal</p></li><li><p>Persistent clogs</p></li><li><p>Lingering odors</p></li><li><p>Lack of power</p></li><li><p>Unexplained noises</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

What should not be put in a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-not-put-down-garbage-disposal.htm">items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal</a>, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.</p></div>

Is fixing a leaking garbage disposal worth it?

• <div><p>If the cost of repairing a leaking garbage disposal is close to the cost of replacing the disposal, then fixing the unit might not make sense. When deciding if you should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garbage-disposal-repair-and-replacement.htm">repair or replace your garbage disposal</a>, consider the age of your garbage disposal, the cost of the repair, and whether your garbage disposal has had other problems recently to help you decide if the cost of repairing the leak is better than the cost of replacing the disposal.</p></div>

Q: What would cause a garbage disposal to stop working?

• <div><p>There are many maintenance and repair issues that lead to a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Regular clogs place wear and tear on the motors, leading to an eventual shutdown. Electrical issues at the breaker, wall outlet, or disposal itself can fry the unit. The most common cause is simply a worn-down motor. These motors can only handle so much use before powering down for good. </p></div>

Mike and his guys attacked a difficult job - reinforcing a crumbling 15 foot wall built long ago with concrete and heavy stones. We were amazed by their ingenuity and skill in tackling and completing this difficult project. The outcome is excellent, and we highly recommend Michal Cacillas...
