Is your garbage disposal blocked, clogged, leaking, or not draining ? If your garbage disposal is not working properly. Our professionals can help.... 

Follow these five simple tips to help extend the lifetime of your waste disposal and avoid blockage :

1. Run disposal on a regular basis 

2. Use Cold Water

Use cold water when you use the garbage disposal, not hot water. Hot water works great for  most stuff to clean but not for the garbage disposal.

Cold water hardens Food, making it easier for garbage disposal to crumble food and and force it out of the drain pipe.

3.Run Disposal for a longer period of time

Keep the water running about a minute until the garbage disposal has stopped grinding up  the waste. It means that the drain tube is cleared of all the food. 

4. Split waste in small pieces

Cut waste into smaller pieces and put just a few pieces at a time.. If not, you could overwork that disposal ,so it would clog or block it or worse destroy it entirely. 

5. Squeeze Citrus Fruit 

The peel should help clear the unnecessary waste and eliminate any

 unpleasant smell.
