What is a Garbage Disposal Unit?
A garbage disposal unit, also known as a garburator or food waste disposer, is an electrically powered device installed under a kitchen sink. It grinds food waste into small particles, which are then washed away through the plumbing system. These units help reduce kitchen waste and prevent drain clogs, making them a valuable addition to any home.
Over time, however, garbage disposals can develop problems due to wear and tear, improper use, or lack of maintenance. When this happens, professional garburator maintenance and repair services are essential to restore its functionality.
