Plumbing in El Paso – Proper Plumbing System Maintenance

El Paso Mechanical Technologies is your source for plumbing in El Paso. All too often, plumbing emergencies are the result of poor maintenance by the homeowner. Here are three things you need to know.

1: Lemons do not work as garbage disposal cleaners. They may make your drain smell better, but it won’t actually clean it. To clean and disinfect it, use a cleaning solution composed of mild soap and water.

2. Water does not necessarily help waste travel through the garbage disposal, and running water does not mean that you can dispose of things that don’t belong in the garbage disposal. The following items can damage your garbage disposal.
-Grease, oil, and fat
-Starchy or stringy vegetables – can wrap around the blade, clogging the drain.
-Pasta – expands when wet, potentially clogging your drain.
-Egg shells – the thin membrane on the inside of the shell can wrap itself around the  blade of the disposal.
-Rice – expands when wet, potentially clogging your drain.
-Coffee grounds – can get stuck in the trap of the disposal.
-Fruit pits or seeds – will damage the disposal.
-Bones –  will damage the disposal.

3. Just because something goes down, that doesn’t mean it’s not clogging your drain. Your drain could be clogged regardless of your garbage disposal still being able to operate. Look for signs of damage, such as your disposal moving slowly. This could be an indication that you are developing a clog.
