Q: How long do garbage disposals last?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garbage-disposal-last.htm">Garbage disposals last</a> an average of about 10 years, so it may be time for a new model if it's getting up there in age. Other signs that it's time to bring in a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/install-garbage-disposal/">local garbage disposal pro</a> include:</p><ul><li><p>Leaks under your disposal</p></li><li><p>Persistent clogs</p></li><li><p>Lingering odors</p></li><li><p>Lack of power</p></li><li><p>Unexplained noises</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Is soil bad for garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Soil is just one of the items you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-not-put-down-garbage-disposal.htm">shouldn't put down a garbage disposal</a>. Garbage disposals are only meant for soft, non-fibrous foods. Large amounts of topsoil, dirt, or rocks will damage the blades of your garbage disposal or clog the pipes. If a small amount of dirt goes down the drain as you repot a plant, you shouldn't have to worry, but never dump a whole pot of soil in the sink for fast disposal.</p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;re not foolproof. There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-not-put-down-garbage-disposal.htm">items you shouldn&rsquo;t put in your garbage disposal</a>, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don&rsquo;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>

Q: Is it worth it to repair a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Whether you choose to repair your garbage disposal will depend on the problem. For minor issues like a bad seal, you can fix the unit for less than $10. If the motor unit is broken, which can easily cost $150, you may want to consider replacing the entire disposal if it&rsquo;s getting on in years. </p></div>

Q: Why does my dishwasher water come up into the sink?

• <div><p>When a dishwasher discharges its wastewater, it uses a pump to quickly move a lot of water. If anything in the drain line or the garbage disposal impedes the high volume of water, it will back up into the sink through the drain or the garbage disposal. Following regular <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-tips-avoid-dishwasher-repair.htm">dishwasher maintenance tips</a> like clearing clogs, keeping them cleared, and occasionally running the disposal will eliminate the problem.</p></div>
