Your home's garbage disposal is vital to your plumbing system. This is due to the fact that it breaks down food particles into tiny pieces so they can be integrated with your home's waste water. A garbage disposal that doesn't work properly could wreak havoc on your entire plumbing system. Below are some situations where you will need to replace the unit.

What's That Smell?
They say that smell is the most powerful of the five senses. If your garbage disposal keeps stinking up your kitchen, put lemons and ice in it. If this does not eliminate the stench, there is a larger problem at hand. A replacement is the best solution in this scenario.

In A Jam
If your garbage disposal is jammed, do not run it. If you do, it could damage the motor. Since replacing the motor can be costly, it is more cost effective to replace the entire garbage disposal.

Age Is Not Just A Number
Garbage disposals have a lifespan of 10-12 years. If your garbage disposal it has surpassed its life expectancy, it's time to consider replacing the unit. 

We understand that purchasing a garbage disposal is a investment. Nonetheless, it is an investment worth making because it will last for years to come. If you need a new garbage disposal installed in your home, call 877-280-5777.
