Marietta GA - K L Contractor Plumbing Inc., a trusted name in professional plumbing services, has released a new blog post aimed at helping homeowners understand the safest way to address garbage disposal clogs. The post, titled “Can You Use a Plunger on a Garbage Disposal? The Complete Safety Guide”, offers clear, step-by-step advice on whether and how to use a plunger with a garbage disposal without causing damage to the unit or injury to the user.
In this informative guide, the company addresses a question many homeowners face but often overlook until the moment a clog disrupts daily kitchen activities. The blog outlines the possible risks of plunging a garbage disposal, explains when plunging might be appropriate, and provides alternatives when plunging is not recommended.
Marketing Director Alex Laldin commented on the importance of this content for homeowners, stating, “We see many service calls where well-intentioned homeowners have tried to clear a garbage disposal clog the wrong way. This can lead to more serious damage and sometimes even injury. Our new blog post provides practical and safe steps to help people make the right choice before taking action.”
The guide explains the structural differences between a garbage disposal and a standard sink drain, noting why plunging is not always the ideal solution. It emphasizes that a garbage disposal is a mechanical appliance connected to a drain line, not just a drain itself. Using a plunger incorrectly can lead to broken seals, damaged components, or worsening of the clog.
The blog also educates readers on recognizing when a clog may be deeper in the drain line rather than within the disposal itself. It discusses how to check for jams inside the disposal, the importance of turning off power before any inspection or repair, and when to call a professional plumber. Laldin highlighted this point, saying, “We want homeowners to be confident in knowing when they can safely handle a situation themselves and when it’s time to pick up the phone and call us. Safety always comes first.”
While the blog acknowledges that plunging can sometimes be effective, it details the specific steps to take to minimize risk. These include choosing the right type of plunger, applying the correct amount of pressure, and testing the disposal after clearing the blockage. The post also covers preventive maintenance tips to reduce the likelihood of clogs in the first place, such as proper food waste disposal habits and routine cleaning methods.
This latest publication reflects K L Contractor Plumbing Inc.’s commitment to providing not only expert plumbing services but also accessible educational resources for the public. By sharing practical advice through their blog, the company hopes to reduce preventable damage, improve safety, and help homeowners save money on avoidable repairs.
