Garbage Disposal Maintenance Tips

March 10th, 2011 Comments off

Garbage DisposalYour garbage disposal should be treated the same way you treat your microwave, refrigerator, stove, countertop or anything else in the kitchen. It should be cleaned periodically to where it will avoid major maintenance in the future.

A clogged garbage disposal can lead to multiple problems, but before you make the call to one of our Fort Worth TX plumbers, we want to offer several tips for minor clog issues. A solution to your problem may be something as simple as using a common household item.

  • Don’t overdo it: Most people either forget or simply don’t know that a disposal is used for disposing small amount of food. It is not made to dispose large bones or large amounts of anything. Overusing your disposal can lead to instant clogging issues.
  • Ice and fruit: Don’t be afraid to throw a couple of ice cubes down the disposal. The cubes will grind and clean the blades. Citric fruit peels, such as oranges, lemons and limes, will provide a nice smell after the ice cubes do their job.
  • When it doubt, use water: Cold water assists in quality maintenance. Go figure! Running cold water before, during and after disposal use will help to flush particles that can build in the system and give the disposal problems.

If any of these garbage disposal maintenance tips fail, it may be time for you to call a plumbing professional. Our Fort Worth plumbers specialize in all residential and commercial services, no matter how major or minor the task is.

Makeovers Start with a New Sink

February 23rd, 2011 Comments off

Pedestal SinkTake a glance at your bathroom sink. It’s something that is often overlooked in every bathroom.

If you are interested in a bathroom makeover, your sink might be an excellent starting point. There are multiple styles of sinks available for purchase, but here are three in particular that could bring a new level of elegance to your bathroom immediately upon installation.

  • Pedestal sink: Sinks that stand on a base, giving your sink a stand-alone look. These sinks also do not take up a lot of space and are relatively easy to clean.
  • Vessel sink: Sinks that rest on top of a counter, which explains they’re also known as “above-counter sinks.” These sinks are pricy but well worth the fee.
  • Wall hung sink: Sinks that are mounted directly on a bathroom wall. These can be installed on any flat surface and at any height.

More common sink options are self-rimming sinks and under mount sinks. Self-rimming sinks are those mounted above a counter with a visible rim. Chances are, your home has at least one of these sinks in a bathroom. An under mount sink is one that is installed from underneath a counter top. It can come with a counter-mounted faucet or a wall-mounted faucet.

Let our Fort Worth TX plumbing experts assist you with choosing the right sink for your bathroom. Call our Fort Worth plumbers today, or visit us online for more details on sink replacement.
