Garbage Disposal Information:

 

The garbage disposal was invented in 1927 by an architect named John W. Hammes from Racine, Wisconsin. After eleven years of development, his InSinkErator company put its disposer on the market in 1940.

 

Garbage disposal, also known as waste disposal unit or garburator, is an electrically powered device, installed under a kitchen sink between the sink's drain and the trap which shreds food waste into pieces small enough to pass through your home's plumbing.

 

Most people wouldn't be able to live without their garbage disposals. They help keep the kitchen smelling fresh, help reduce potentially harmful bacteria and make cleaning up after meals a breeze. With a little care and maintenance, a garbage disposal should last several years. However, like other appliances, garbage disposals do occasionally malfunction, die, or may even leak. When this happens, you'll need a knowledgeable plumbing company to help diagnose your problematic disposal.
