From your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redcapplumbing.com\/tampa_water_heaters.html\">water heater<\/a> to your kitchen sink, many components of your plumbing system are undoubtedly on this list. One such appliance is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redcapplumbing.com\/tampa_plumber.html\">garbage disposal<\/a>, which helps you to cut down on the amount of organic waste that winds up in your trash bin. In order to keep your garbage disposal working properly, though, you must have some basic information. Keep these tips in mind when using your garbage disposal, and call upon Tampa\u2019s Red Cap Plumbing with any questions or service needs that you may have.<a style=\"text-align: right;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.redcapplumbing.com\/tampa_plumber\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/garbage-disposal.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-373 alignright\" alt=\"garbage disposal\" src=\"http:\/\/www.redcapplumbing.com\/tampa_plumber\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/garbage-disposal.jpg\" width=\"259\" height=\"194\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Things to Keep Out of Your Garbage Disposal<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">You must remember that your garbage disposal is not capable of handling every kind of waste. There are certain items which can damage your garbage disposal should you try to grind them up. If you have animal bones left over after a meal, those bones should go into the garbage, not down the garbage disposal (or in to a crockpot with beans). The same is true of any fibrous materials, such as celery stalks or corn husks. These materials may not be as hard as animal bones are. However, due to their fibrous makeup, they can become entwined in the moving mechanisms of a garbage disposal, resulting in unnecessary strain on the device and premature wear and tear on its components. We have many calls for clogged pipes because of the massive mess shredded corn husks make.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, you must remember that grease is best kept out of your garbage disposal, and drains in general. Sometimes homeowners forget that liquids are not always going to remain in a liquid state. This is certainly the case with hot grease, oils, waxes and other fats. They are liquids when hot, but they will congeal and solidify when they cool down. If this happens within your plumbing system, it can lead to a serious buildup therein, resulting in clogs. Your garbage disposal can do nothing to prevent this. Those popular wax melts are a common culprit of clogged drains.<\/p>\n<p>We are more than happy to help you get the best performance that your garbage disposal has to offer.\u00a0Give us a call today at\u00a0813-963-3056 or\u00a0727-474-8287 for Pinellas county<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Garbage Disposal Upkeep As modern homeowners, we have access to a lot of different technologies and appliances which make our [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[873,947,949,951,953],"tags":[900,929,950,952,954],"class_list":["post-21553","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-plumbing","category-family-household-safety","category-garbage-disposal","category-home-plumbing-repair","category-home-upkeep","tag-plumbing-repair","tag-plumbing-problems","tag-garbage-disposal","tag-home-repair","tag-plumbing-prevention"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.8 (Yoast SEO v27.9) -
