Garbage Disposals – Andover, Connecticut

Does your home need a new garbage disposal? Are you tired of cleaning nasty food scraps out of the drain after washing dishes? Has your home’s garbage disposal deteriorated into an old leaky mess? The plumbers at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing offer garbage disposal services the residents of Connecticut can count on to restore convenience and dependability to their kitchen’s plumbing.

Garbage disposals are needed for today’s modern, functional kitchens. Once the cooking is done, the garbage disposal system makes it convenient for cleanup without sending larger food particles into the plumbing waste system.

How Does a Garbage Disposal Work?

Garbage disposals are small electric appliances, located under the kitchen sink, which connect the sink to the plumbing waste system. Garbage disposals use an electric motor to chop up food waste into ultra-fine pieces. The ground food waste can then safely pass through the plumbing waste system and into the city sewer.

A properly installed and maintained garbage disposal is easy to use and worry-free. Incorrectly installed or poorly maintained garbage disposals lead to mechanical problems, leaks, unpleasant smells, clogs, and even damaged cabinetry. To properly execute a garbage disposal installation requires not only plumbing knowledge, but also electrical skills. Our experienced plumbers here at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing Connecticut are experts at performing garbage disposal installations.

Garbage Disposal Tip for Worry-Free Operation:

NO: egg shells, bones, coffee grounds, fruit pits or seeds, potato peels, banana peels, rice, pasta, oil, grease, butter, mashed potatoes, celery.
Use paper towels to wipe out greasy pans before washing to prevent grease from going down the drain
Do clean and flush the drain with baking soda and vinegar
Never use bleach or drain cleaners because they damage plumbing
