Garbage Disposal Installation!
Most people wouldn't be able to live without their garbage disposals. They help keep the kitchen smelling fresh,
help reduce potentially harmful bacteria and make cleaning up after meals a breeze. With a little care and maintenance, a
garbage disposal should last several years. However, like all other appliances, garbage disposals do occasionally malfunction
or die. When this happens, CALL DANIELS to replace your disposal.

Garbage disposals are a cook's best friend, grinding up and washing
away kitchen refuse with the touch of a switch. Invest in a unit that delivers at minimum 1/2 horsepower; one of lesser power
can get stuck easily and will likely need replacing after only a few years.
Most garbage disposals fit the standard drain outlet. They are either hard-wired
or plugged into a 120-volt box or receptacle. The most common disposals are switch-activated. A disposal will never be whisper-quiet,
and, under certain sinks, such as stainless steel, they can be quite noisy if not generously insulated.
Generally, the fatter the disposal, the more quietly it
will run, although you need to make sure that the disposal you choose fits comfortably under your sink.
A good disposal can last for many years, especially if
you avoid clogging it with such fibrous foods as celery, potato skins, melon rinds and other fruit and vegetable peels, eggshells,
and coffee grounds.
Garbage disposers link the often disparate demands of convenience and conservation by grinding up kitchen scraps and
sending them down the drain to a sewage-treatment plant or septic system for decomposition.
Besides eliminating
messes and discouraging bugs and other pests, a disposer shifts food waste from landfills to a waste-water treatment system.
That scenario has prompted some cities, such as Denver and Indianapolis, to require disposers in new homes. Add in the many
towns that charge by volume for waste removal, and it's easy to see why nearly half of American homes have a garbage disposer.
Garbage Disposal Repair
A garbage disposal can run into many kinds of problems, some of which can be easily fixed and others that may
need a professional.
Garbage disposals are pretty straightforward devices. They operate
on a motor system that circulates rotating blades under your sink to grind up food particles and other waste. However, since
these small motorized appliances are used so often in the home, they can easily get jammed or clogged. And since they are
attached to the most heavily used item in the house—the kitchen sink—it's important to keep this unit up and
running.
