Founded in 2015, J.N.J Home Works is a husband and wife team that is no stranger to hard work and getting dirty while doing all it takes to get the job at hand complete; all while completing it with speed, accuracy and professionalism. We understand that like us, most people don’t have the time or capability of completing such dirty/ tedious jobs. That’s why we decided to start our company; to help others with those dirty, at times annoying, what seems like endless, exhausting and humdrum projects. We provide services that many don't such as: junk removal, organization, cleaning, handyman services, assembly and much more. Please call for details or visit us at www.jnjhomeworks.com! What differs us from others, is that we have a more personable approach yet complete each job professionally with attention to detail to our customers standards (and beyond) from start to finish. Additionally, we offer competitive pricing as we work with ALL BUDGETS and will ensure that your job is completed not only to your standards and above but as our business idiom states: If it’s DIRTY and it’s WORK, WE’LL DO IT! ™

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

Garbage disposals last an average of seven years but can function well past 10 years. However, as time goes on and more food is ground, the grinding plates will slowly lose their edge and need replacing. A motor likely won’t last 10 or more years, but you should be able to get a minimum of five years at least, even under heavy usage. 

These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly when you replace your garbage disposal. Make sure you shut the power off to the area first and check that it’s off with a voltage detector. Disconnect the main drain line and P-trap, and then disconnect the dishwasher drain line if you have one connected. You can then unscrew your garbage disposal using a disposal wrench. Just make sure you disconnect the electrical lines before removing your appliance.

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.

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 proper care and maintenance, 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.

You can pour boiling water down the garbage disposal only when cleaning it. Use hot water to flush baking soda and vinegar down the drain for a quick clean-up. For running food down the disposal, always use cold water.
