What steps can I take to properly maintain my garbage disposal after installation or repair?
To properly maintain your garbage disposal after installation or repair, you should: <br />1. Run cold water while using the disposal to help flush out debris.<br />2. Avoid putting hard items like bones or fruit pits into the disposal.<br />3. Use a disposal cleaner or ice cubes with vinegar to clean and deodorize the unit.<br />4.

How can I determine if the water pressure in my shower is a sign that repair is needed, and what solutions are available to address this issue effectively?
If the water pressure in your shower suddenly drops or fluctuates, it could be a sign that repair is needed. This could be due to a clog in the pipes, a faulty pressure regulator, or a problem with the water supply line. To address this issue effectively, you can try cleaning the showerhead, checking for any leaks in the pipes, or adjusting the pressure regulator if applicable. If these steps do not improve the water pressure, it is recommended to consult a licensed plumber to diagnose and fix the underlying issue.
