Before reaching out to Carranza Plumbing for assistance with your garbage disposal, consider these money-saving tips to potentially fix the issue yourself

  1. Reset the Disposal: Many disposals have a reset button located underneath. Pressing this button can often reset the unit and resolve minor issues.

  2. Use Ice and Citrus: Grinding ice cubes and citrus peels can help clean the blades and remove any buildup, improving the disposal's performance.

  3. Avoid Overloading: Overloading the disposal with too much food waste, fats, and oil can lead to clogs and other problems. Dispose of small amounts of waste at a time and run cold water while using the disposal.
