Garbage Disposals Repair & Installations in Fresno

Installing a garbage disposal helps minimize food waste in your trash, eliminates bothersome kitchen odors, and reduces the risk of household bacteria.

No matter how clean your kitchen may seem, discarded food waste in the trash can quickly lead to unpleasant odors and attract pests like ants, flies, and cockroaches. Additionally, your garbage disposal becomes a breeding ground for harmful bacteria such as salmonella and E. coli, which thrive on leftover food.

Single-Stage Disposal

Single-stage garbage disposals grind food scraps in one processing stage. Using a rotating impeller plate to force food waste against a stationary grind ring, breaking it down into small particles that can be flushed through the plumbing. These units are generally simpler, more affordable, and easier to maintain compared to multi-stage models. However, they may not handle tougher waste (like bones or fibrous vegetables) as efficiently, and are best suited for light to moderate use in households with good waste management habits.

2-Stage Disposal

A 2-stage garbage disposal grinds waste in two separate stages for finer processing and improved performance. In the first stage, food is broken down by a grinding ring, similar to single-stage units. In the second stage, the waste is further pulverized by an additional grinding mechanism, making it easier to flush through plumbing and reducing the risk of clogs. These disposals often feature sound insulation and are more efficient at handling tougher food scraps like fibrous vegetables and small bones. They're ideal for households seeking greater performance and reliability.

3-Stage Disposal

A 3-stage garbage disposal is a high-performance food waste system that grinds waste in three stages for ultra-fine processing. After the initial grinding, two additional stages further break down food particles, making them almost liquefied. This greatly reduces the chance of clogs and enhances the unit’s ability to handle tough scraps like bones, seeds, and fibrous vegetables. These disposals often include advanced features such as noise-reduction technology and anti-jam systems. They are ideal for large households or users who want maximum efficiency and durability in their kitchen waste management.

Our FAQ

  • Do garbage disposals require regular maintenance?
    Yes. While they’re low - maintenance, it’s important to: - Run cold water before and after use. - Avoid putting in problematic items. - Clean periodically with ice, vinegar, or baking soda. - Routine care helps prevent clogs, odors, and mechanical issues.
  • Can a garbage disposal be installed in any sink?
    Always run cold water while using the disposal. Cold water solidifies any grease or fat, making it easier to grind and flush through the pipes without clogging.
  • Should I run hot or cold water with my garbage disposal?
    Always run cold water while using the disposal. Cold water solidifies any grease or fat, making it easier to grind and flush through the pipes without clogging.
  • How long should a garbage disposal last?
    Most disposals last 8 to 15 years, depending on the brand, model, and usage. Regular maintenance and proper use can extend its life.
  • Is it normal for a garbage disposal to make loud or unusual noises?
    Some noise is normal, but rattling, grinding, or metal-on-metal sounds could indicate a foreign object inside or loose components. Always turn off the power before inspecting the interior.
