Have you ever considered getting a garbage disposal? There are many benefits in doing so. Garbage disposals are good for the environment, because they cut down on waste that goes into landfills.
They simplify your life because there is less trash for you to remove from your San Antonio, TX home every week. They can also prevent other household problems, which we will explore in more depth below.
Keep Clogs Away
Most people have experienced a clogged drain at some point in their lives. It can be messy and inconvenient.
You might also suffer expensive water damage from a backed up drain. You can avoid this whole clog headache simply by getting a garbage disposal put in.
Clogs are formed by a number of things, but most commonly are formed by food matter falling into your sink. Over time this debris can gather in the pipes and drains which means that you’ll be dealing with a pesky clog.
Your plumber might be able to get rid of it with a plumbing snake, or you may need more force, like hydro jetting. However, if your food waste is going right into the garbage disposal, you won’t have to worry about clogs.
Help you Clean Your Dishes
Scraping plates into the trash can and cleaning them under the faucet in the sink can be a bit cumbersome and messy.
You are probably tracking a mess all through your kitchen, not to mention letting food matter get down your drains.
Having a garbage disposal is a one-stop shop. You can clean and rinse your plates in the same place, all while getting rid of food scraps.
Keep Odors Away
Not only will food matter falling down your sink cause problems with clogs, the same food particles can cause some serious odors in your drains.
If you compress that food waste and wash it away through the garbage disposal, you won’t have to worry about it.
The same goes for your garbage bags. You can use some scented bags to try to reduce kitchen odors, but that doesn’t really go very far. It’s better if you can eliminate what is causing the odors- your garbage- through a garbage disposal.
Although your garbage disposal can tackle most organic waste, there are some items that you should never put down there because you’ll break the blades. Keep fibrous items, like peapods and celery or very hard items like nutshells and bones away from there.
