Garbage Disposal Maintenance Tips for Longevity

Taking proper care of your garbage disposal can significantly extend its lifespan and ensure it operates optimally. Follow these simple maintenance tips:

  • Run cold water with disposal: Always run cold water during and after using the disposal to prevent overheating.
  • Clean your disposal regularly: Use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar to eliminate odor and clear debris.
  • Avoid hard foods: Bones and fibrous materials can damage your system—dispose of these in the trash instead.
  • Check for clogs: Periodically inspect for clogs that could impair performance.
  • Schedule professional maintenance: A yearly professional check-up can catch potential issues early.
  • Ensure proper installation: Professional installation is essential for smooth operation. Whether you’re replacing an old unit or installing a new one, expert installation ensures it’s connected properly to plumbing and electrical systems.

By incorporating these habits into your kitchen routine and relying on professional maintenance and installation, you can save money and headaches down the road.

How Many Years Do Garbage Disposals Last?

The lifespan of a garbage disposal in your home can vary based on a number of factors, including usage, maintenance, and overall unit quality. Generally, a well-maintained garbage disposal system can last between 8 to 15 years. However, several factors influence this longevity, and being aware of them can help you maximize the life of your disposal unit.

Some factors include:

  • Quality of the disposal unit: Higher-end models and units from reputable manufacturers are more durable and tend to last longer.
  • Frequency of use: Frequent and extended usage can accelerate the wear and tear and shorten the lifespan.
  • Type of waste processed: Processing hard or fibrous foods can cause quicker component deterioration.
  • Maintenance and cleaning: Regular upkeep, including cleaning, significantly prolongs the unit's life.
  • Installation quality: A professionally installed disposal is less likely to experience hardship due to wear and tear.

At Aspinwall Plumbing, we provide installation and guidance on maintaining your disposal to ensure you get the most out of your investment.

Is it worth installing a garbage disposal?

Yes, a garbage disposal saves time, improves hygiene, reduces food waste, and eliminates unpleasant odors by breaking down food scraps easily.
