How Often Did You Use Your Garbage Disposal During the Holidays?

It seems like that hard-working appliance gets more use in November and December than, perhaps other times of the year. Even as resilient as they are, they can jam up when objects bind the impeller blades inside the appliance. The drain fittings can loosen and cause leaking beneath the sink. It’s just part of the aging process of your Columbus home’s garbage disposal.

Here are some of the most common ways it can quickly go from efficient to clogged –

1.  It does not pull a sufficient amount of water down the drain.

2.  Eggshells and coffee grounds…two big culprits.

3.  Potato peels…they form a starchy paste when they are ground up.

4.  Banana peels…think of potatoes, but with stringy fibers.
