Eventually, normal wear and tear will take its toll. A typical unit lasts between 10 and 12 years. Stopping a few bad habits or adopting a few good ones could make a difference. In fact, you can extend your disposal&#8217;s lifespan significantly if you treat it right. To help you add years to its life, here are a few tips from the plumbers Tampa trusts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Expert Tips to Increase Your Garbage Disposal&#8217;s Lifespan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Never force large amounts of food into your disposal. Place small pieces of food in slowly, and keep cold water running to help the debris flow down the drain.<\/li>\n<li>While you don&#8217;t want to treat it like a garbage can, you should use your disposal regularly to help prevent obstruction by accumulated rust or corrosion.<\/li>\n<li>Never put anything into your disposal that isn\u2019t biodegradable. Plastic, glass, metal, paper and other materials can damage the blades and motor.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t pour oil or grease into your disposal.<\/li>\n<li>Some foods are not appropriate for your garbage disposal, including fibrous celery stalks, corn husks, onion skins and artichokes; these can easily jam the motor.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid placing expandable foods like uncooked or partially cooked pasta or rice into the unit.<\/li>\n<li>Never grind animal bones in your disposal.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid putting drain openers and other harsh cleaners and chemicals in your disposal. Over time, they can damage the unit&#8217;s blades and your pipes. Try using citrus peels or Borax to clean and remove odors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Red Cap Ends Your Disposal Problems<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When garbage disposals need to be serviced or replaced, we&#8217;re the plumbers Tampa calls.
