Don’t Let a Loose Garbage Disposal Wreak Havoc on Your Sink. Call a San Marcos CA Plumber Today

It’s exciting when you get a garbage disposal installed in your kitchen. This means you’ll get to deal with less drain clogs. With the addition of a garbage disposal, many people love that they can toss small-sized food scraps down their kitchen sink without worrying that their plumbing system will experience an unfortunate blockage. Due to how often people place food in their sink, it’s clear that the kitchen is the best place for a garbage disposal!

But, as you know, garbage disposals, too, can exhibit issues. One of the problems you might notice is that your garbage disposal unit is a little loose. Uh-oh!

Reasons Your Garbage Disposal is Loose

One of the most common reasons garbage disposals are loose is due to poor installation. Although a majority of plumbers provide spot-on installation, there’s no doubt that there’s the opportunity to come across a less qualified plumber who may provide you less-than-satisfactory service.

Another reason for a loose garbage disposal is if your system was jammed, and a device other than a proper tool was used to unjam it. For instance, some homeowners use a broomstick to dislodge a garbage disposal jam. Our plumbers urge you to never use the broomstick method! It’s only asking for trouble.

The Problems with a Loose Garbage Disposal

“What’s the issue with a loose garbage disposal? I can still use my unit just fine.”

Well, there are two major problems that could occur. For one, a garbage disposal that exhibits rattling noises or shakes your kitchen counter when in operation (which indicates that the unit is loose) can cause permanent damage to your sink. As a result, water can leak around the edges of your garbage disposal, and as everyone knows, water leaks themselves can cause damage to just about anything it comes in contact with and/or lead to the growth of mold or mildew.
