Get matched with top garbage collectors in Seneca, MI

Q: Why does my garbage disposal have power but won’t spin?

• <div><p>If your garbage disposal powers up and you can hear it hum, but the arms inside aren&rsquo;t moving, the problem might be a stubborn clog, a build-up of grease, or a jam of the impeller plate. To troubleshoot these, ensure your unit is off and disconnected from its power source before checking inside the drain or attempting to manually rotate the impeller arms or plate from the underside of the unit. A hex wrench can help.</p></div>

Q: Can glass go in the garbage disposal?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t access the disposal safely, call a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/garbage-disposal-repair/">garbage disposal repair pro</a>.</p></div>

Q: What is the most common size garbage disposal?

• <div><p>The most common garbage disposal size in the U.S. is 1/2 horsepower. This size is ideal for households with three or fewer people or those that don't produce much food waste. Although 1/2 horsepower can't handle the typical food waste load for a household of four (which is about 250 pounds of food waste annually) as effectively as 3/4 horsepower, it remains the most common size of garbage disposal on the market.</p></div>

Q: Does ice clean a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s one thing that helps, alongside vinegar and baking soda. Ice acts as an exfoliant, helping to lift off any bits of food stuck on the disposal blades.</p></div>

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>

This company was prompt; showed up when they said they were going to come. My only complaint is that they did not clean up after themselves (left debris both on the ground and on the roof--in the eavetrough, that I had to clean up afterwards.)

"I contacted SuperMen moving on a Thursday night via their website and I received a quote the next morning. They also offered to come on Sunday - which worked well for me. On the morning of the service, they called to let me know they were on their way. The team of two were professional, friendly and engaging. They moved and disposed of multiple large and heavy items in a little over an hour from my second floor and from my walk out basement. It was an excellent experience from first contact to completion. I will be using them again as I continue our downsizing.
