The garbage disposal is one of your kitchen’s best friends. It’s not an appliance that you show off like your majestic refrigerator or range, but it is one of the most important and indispensable. This hidden device helps to make food preparation and cleanup convenient and using a garbage disposal in Virginia, Washington or Maryland is actually positive for the environment..
A garbage disposal is attached to the underside of a kitchen sink drain. It collects and grinds food scraps, which are forced down the drain with a heavy flow of water by an impeller arm and plate. The water from your dishwasher drain also runs through the garbage disposal, enabling large chunks of food to be ground up and drained away.
Most Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC garbage disposal units have electric powered motors, and a new type runs solely on water force from the sink’s faucet. These come in handy in cases where there is no electrical outlet under the sink for operation.
While a good disposal can last many years, it is not uncommon for it to periodically require repairs. Also, since some problems are more complicated, a total replacement may be your best option in order to prevent any serious issues. My Plumber can handle garbage disposal repair in Washington, DC, Virginia or Maryland and, if necessary, can install a new unit quickly and without a mess!
