How Garbage Disposals Work
Garbage disposals use powerful electric motors to spin impellers and grinding rings, breaking food waste into fine particles that flow safely into your drainage system or septic tank.
Installation Services Include:
- Assessment of plumbing, electrical setup, and sink compatibility
- Recommendation of unit size and horsepower (1/3 HP to 1 HP) based on your needs
- Selection of proper disposal type:
- Continuous Feed – Operates via wall switch; ideal for regular use
- Batch Feed – Activated with a stopper; safer for homes with kids
- Proper electrical connections and circuit setup
- Sound insulation for quieter performance
- Leak prevention through precision alignment and mounting
Common Repairs We Handle:
- Jammed grinding chambers
- Worn-out grinding components
- Leaking seals or flanges
- Faulty switches or motor burnout
- Reset button issues
Our technicians use specialized tools to safely diagnose and repair problems, often during the same visit.
Preventative Maintenance Tips:
- Clean regularly with ice and salt to sharpen blades
- Use citrus peels to reduce odor and grease
- Inspect and clean splash guards

Garbage Disposals FAQs
- Continuous feed disposals run as long as the switch is on—ideal for most households due to convenience.
-
Batch feed disposals require a stopper to activate and are safer for homes with children, since they only operate when closed.
For most households, a 1/2 to 3/4 horsepower (HP) unit is sufficient.
-
1/3 HP: Best for occasional use or small households
-
1/2 HP: Great for average-sized homes
-
3/4–1 HP: Ideal for families or frequent cooking; can handle tougher waste like vegetable peels or small bones
Food residue can build up over time, causing a foul smell. To clean it:
-
Pour baking soda and vinegar into the drain, let it sit, then flush with hot water.
-
Grind ice cubes and citrus peels (like lemon or orange) to freshen and clean blades.
-
Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, which can damage components.
