Get matched with top garbage collectors in Maricopa, CA

Q: How often do garbage disposals break?

• <div><p>Garbage disposals are durable appliances that usually last at least eight years as long as you clean and maintain them. It&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: What are the negatives of a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>The two main negatives of garbage disposals are they are a safety hazard in homes with children, and they frequently encounter blockage issues. While they might be annoying to fix and monitor, garbage disposals can significantly lower your trash use and are a great way to dispose of organic waste. While there are negatives, the vast majority of homeowners acknowledge the positives are enough to install a disposal in their home. </p></div>

Q: Will my garbage disposal impact my septic tank?

• <div><p>Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you&rsquo;re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn&rsquo;t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won&rsquo;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. </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>

Q: Will any size garbage disposal fit my sink?

• <div><p>While the drain connection for a garbage disposal is nearly universal and fits standard sink drain holes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, the size of the disposal unit itself is not. You must have enough space in the cabinet underneath your sink to accommodate the disposal's housing. A larger model may not fit in a compact cabinet or if the existing plumbing is arranged in an unusual way. Before buying a new garbage disposal, measure the available space under your sink. If you are replacing an old unit, it's often easiest to choose a new model of a similar size.</p></div>
