Garbage Disposals
Main Issues
- Clogging: Garbage disposals often face clogging due to improper disposal of items like bones, fruit pits, and grease. These items can jam the blades or create blockages in the pipes.
- Foul Odors: Accumulated food particles in the disposal can lead to unpleasant odors over time, affecting the kitchen environment.
- Leaks: Damaged or worn-out components of the garbage disposal unit can result in leaks, potentially causing water damage under the sink.
- Dull Blades: Over time, the blades of the garbage disposal can become dull, reducing their effectiveness in grinding up food waste.
