Your garbage disposal ensures that your sink and plumbing fixtures don’t get clogged. Contrary to some people’s perception, garbage disposals do not contain blades. Instead, a garbage disposal features two stationary bolts that are fixed to a spinning disk. When the disposal is turned on the disks rapidly spin, and these bolts force food and debris to grind against a stationary grinder along the periphery of the spinning disk. This high-speed action effectively pulverizes the food waste in the disposal so that it can travel down the drain without clogging.

When a garbage disposal breaks, it is probably only a matter of time before your sink begins to clog, as you and other house members are probably not used to ensuring that no obstructive food waste goes down your drain.

If you need a garbage disposal replacement or would like a new disposal installed, you may need the help of a professional handyman to ensure the disposal is installed successfully. Garbage disposals can be tricky appliances to install and repair, and they require knowledge of both plumbing and electrical systems.
