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>

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>

Excellent! I trenched for the lines and they did all the rest, including disposal of old components. Been working flawlessly ever since.

When he took out old disposal, he was very neat and cleaned up any mess. I did not have to worry about getting rid of the old disposal, as he took it w/him. When he installed the new disposal, he showed me how to use the special wrench that came with it to get out something (i.e. an eating...

They did what they said they would do, and it cost as much as they said it would cost, no problems at all.

I called Prince Plumbing because I had used him in the past to replace our water heater and we were pleased with his punctuality, professionalism and price. I talked to him that morning and he said he'd be able to do the work that afternoon. He was there a little early and had the work done...

They were great about calling you to inform you they were on their way and how much it would probably cost. They were not able to replace a drain without going through a cabinet so I decided to wait on getting this done.

Logue Plumbing is punctual, clean, and well behaved. They do good work and get it right the first time. I do recommend them and will use them in the future. Sure, their prices could be cheaper, but they are not out of line. You can depend on them for quality work.
