The waste disposal unit may be among the most misused devices in any house. Few people realize that garbage disposals are just designed to deal with light food residue that is washed from plates and cooking utensils before they enter into the dishwashing machine. That's why so many of Midwest Plumbers plumbing service calls include waste disposal unit repair work.

Big amounts of food and debris going into disposers can overwhelm them and obstruct the kitchen sink drain. Couple of things are more frustrating than a kitchen sink that won't drain, but Midwest Plumbers's plumbers are experts at kitchen drain cleaning.

Wanting to repair your garbage disposal yourself? If your waste disposal unit hums but will not operate appropriately, there may be an easy repair. Follow these steps:

Press the reset button located on the bottom of the disposer. If this does not work, turn off the power switch and shine a flashlight into the drain.
Search for a foreign item such as a coin, plastic bread tie or staple.
Remove the item with pliers or a grasping tool. It is dangerous to put your hand inside a waste disposal unit.
Look to see if your disposer has a hex essential jam cleaning tool under the sink or taped to the disposer.
Look for a slot at the bottom of the disposer where the tool can be inserted and turned back and forth to clear the jam.
