Brisbane Insinkerator Service
At Smart State Plumbing Service Plumbing-Brisbane s regularly are asked to repair or replace all kinds of food waste disposal units including Insinkerators. Easily installed under the kitchen sink hidden away from view Insinkerator waste disposal units are very useful appliances to have in the kitchen but have a tendency to break down subsequently leaving a bad impression to the end user. There are misconceptions that these ‘garbage gobblers’ can shred pretty much anything and you can put all food scraps down into them – this is not true.
Food waste disposal units also known as Insinkerators are very reliable and when used correctly they will last for many years without any trouble at all. Many people tend to put chicken bones into Insinkerators which is definitely a bad idea. Running hot water into the Insinkerator is another thing to avoid, always use cold water and make sure that you hear the waste matter has been ground and flushed away before you turn the tap off. Using cold water solidifies any grease and fat that may be in the Insinkerator unit this means that the grease can be broken up and flushed away with the running cold water. Hot water running into the Insinkerator will heat the grease and liquefy which will leave a fatty residue sitting inside the unit causing smells and possible blockages.
A good idea to freshen up the kitchen is to place orange peel or any citrus fruit peelings into your Insinkerator every week or two, when ground up a lovely fruity citrus aroma is left behind. Placing ice cubes into the Insinkerator will help clean the blades, this can be done every few weeks or so.
It is not uncommon for our Brisbane plumbers at Smart State Plumbing Services to find items such as knives, forks spoons, plastic caps, jewelry etc jammed inside Insinkerators. If you put the plastic plug or a mesh cover over the inlet of the Insinkerator opening when not in use then it will help prevent unnecessary blockages and loss of expensive personal items.
