Garbage Disposal Plumbing
A garbage disposal typically has a life span of at least a decade. There may be occasional minor problems with your unit, and in the case of major garbage disposal repairs, garbage disposal replacement is often the better option. When it comes to installing a garbage disposal, the procedure itself is fairly straight forward, but does require extensive plumbing, as well as electrical abilities. First, you have to remove the P trap or waste trap, as well as the sink strainer. Now, install the mounting assembly that consists of a flange and a mounting ring. Tighten the assembly, and then connect the power cord. Mount the garbage disposal, and connect the drain lines. If necessary, connect a dishwasher line too after the drain lines have been established. Lock into place, and check to see if the unit is running properly.
For simple garbage disposal repairs, first look for the source of the problem. For instance, if the unit doesn't run, look for the reset button, and press. If this doesn't work, make sure that your unit is receiving power. If your unit runs intermittently, there may be a problem with the garbage disposal switch or stopper. Replace these, and it should fix the garbage disposer. If you notice a garbage disposal leak, locate the source, or simply tighten the connection. If the garbage disposal makes a lot of noise, you may have shoved something that shouldn't have been there. Check for this, and if you don't find anything, get the blade, motor or impeller replaced by a garbage disposal plumber.
