What Damaged My Garbage Disposal?
Garbage disposals can become impaired due to various reasons.
One of the most common causes is food that makes it past the blades, but still causes a clog, due to either a one time event or build up over time.
Other common occurrences are when utensils and other items that aren't intended for the disposal unknowingly drop through the sink disposal hole. When you flip the switch, you instantly cringe knowing what has happened and hoping the damage is minimal both to the item and to the disposal.
Garbage disposals can also just wear down over time - starting to leak, draining into the dishwasher, becoming increasingly noisy, or even smoking (which can also lead to a fire hazard).
If you are currently experiencing any of these issues, then it's likely that you will want a local Coopersburg garbage disposal repair professional to check it out for you.
