Kitchen Plumbing Essentials: Maintaining Your Garbage Disposal and Faucet

Did You Know?

Your kitchen is the heart of your home, but hidden plumbing issues can disrupt daily routines quickly. Did you know garbage disposal problems and faucet leaks are among the top reasons homeowners call for kitchen plumbing repairs? Ignoring minor signs like slow draining sinks or dripping faucets can lead to bigger issues like clogged drains, water damage, and costly repairs.

What You Can Do

Regular maintenance can significantly extend the lifespan of your kitchen plumbing and save you money:

  • Garbage Disposal Maintenance:
    • Run cold water when using your disposal.
    • Regularly clean your disposal by grinding ice cubes and lemon peels to sharpen blades and eliminate odors.
    • Avoid disposing of grease, fibrous vegetables, coffee grounds, or hard materials that could clog or damage the disposal.
    • Use disposal-safe cleaners periodically to maintain hygiene and performance.
  • Faucet Care:
    • Regularly check faucets for drips or leaks, as these may signal worn-out washers or seals.
    • Replace washers promptly if drips persist to prevent further water wastage and damage.
    • Inspect under your sink monthly to identify early signs of leakage, water damage, or mold growth.
    • Keep faucet aerators clean by soaking them in vinegar to remove mineral buildup.
