How to Make Your Disposal Last
Run cold water before, during and after grinding. Feed food in a little at a time instead of all at once. Keep grease, fibrous peels, pasta and rice out. They either coat the pipe or swell into a paste. Grind a few ice cubes once in a while to clean the chamber. Most disposals last about 8 to 12 years. When one starts leaking from the body, it's time for a new unit, not a repair.
What Affects the Price of a Disposal Job
A straight replacement is quick. Changes to the drain, a new outlet or a dishwasher connection can add time. If the kitchen drain is partly clogged, it should be cleared first. We check and quote one flat price.
