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 are durable appliances that usually last at least eight years as long as you clean and maintain them. It’s relatively rare for a garbage disposal to break on its own, as most malfunctions happen due to user errors, like overstuffing the grinding compartment or damaging the blades by trying to dispose of metal or bone. Eventually, cracks or leaks could develop in the unit, which requires a full replacement. 

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. 

While the part of the garbage disposal that attaches to the sink is universal, not every single disposal will work in every sink cabinet. A larger disposal may be too big to fit in a compact space, for example. If the pipes under your sink are arranged in an unusual way, it may be difficult to put in a bigger disposal, even if there technically is enough space.

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.

Never put glass in the garbage disposal. It can damage your disposal or eject shards of glass out of the disposal and cause injury. If you get broken glass in your garbage disposal, turn it off and cut the power from the breaker, use a tool like pliers or tongs to remove the glass, and use a wet-dry vacuum to remove the remaining glass pieces. If you can’t access the disposal safely, call a garbage disposal repair pro.
