Garbage Disposal Services When You Need it Most

 A broken garbage disposal is not only inconvenient, but it can also cause other kitchen drains or pipes to back up and often results in a terrible smell. The team at Tony LaMartina Plumbing Co. Inc are experts in garbage disposal repair and installation.

Why Garbage Disposals Break 

While a properly maintained garbage disposal should last multiple years, like all kitchen appliances they can break or wear out over time. Some of the most common reasons people run into issues with their garbage disposal include:

• Disposing of food scraps that can clog drains such as bone or fruit pits
• Overfilling the garbage disposal which can lead to a burned-out motor
• Not running water while using the garbage disposal. Since garbage disposals are designed to be used with water, the pump can wear out faster when used dry
• Using drain cleaners or bleach as these can also damage your system
• Age. Even the most well cared systems can break because of old age

Is It Better to Repair or Replace Garbage Disposal? 

Whether it is better to repair or replace your garbage disposal depends

 widely on what specifics problems you are facing, the age of your system, how often your system gets clogged, and more. If you are consistently facing problems with your garbage disposal, upgrading your system to something such as an InSinkErator system, maybe the best option for you. The modern systems tend to digest food scraps more easily and are quieter than older models. Our St. Louis garbage disposal technicians can help you make the decision that’s right for you and your home.
