Kitchen Drainage System Explained
In your home, the kitchen boasts a drainage system utilizing gravity to eliminate wastewater. Commonly known as a drain-waste-vent system (DWV), it ensures efficient wastewater disposal.
When water descends the drain, it navigates through the trap—a distinctive S-shaped pipe positioned beneath the kitchen sink. While the majority of water travels down the drainpipe to the sewer, a portion remains in the trap. This retained water serves as a barrier, preventing sewer gases from backing up through the drain.
Issues with slow or ineffective drainage might indicate a clogged S-pipe. For persistent clogs, seeking assistance from a professional drain cleaning is advisable.
Completing this system is the vent, a small pipe protruding from your roof. These vents play a vital role by allowing air into the drainpipes, ensuring smooth movement of wastewater. The presence of these air vents maintains the balance necessary for proper drainage, preventing any potential obstructions or inefficiencies.
Garbage Disposal
Thinking about incorporating a garbage disposal into your kitchen sink or replacing an older unit that’s no longer functioning? It’s a decision you won’t regret! Having a reliable disposal significantly enhances the convenience of food preparation and cleanup.
Garbage Disposal Repair
Although garbage disposals are sturdy appliances meant to endure extended periods of heavy usage, they’re not impervious to issues. Here are common indications that signal it’s time to arrange for garbage disposal repair:
- No response when activating the wall switch: Ensure the disposal is connected and check for tripped circuit breakers. If resetting the unit via the button on its base fails, seeking professional servicing may be necessary.
- Humming sound but no food grinding: This often indicates a jammed flywheel. Utilize a 1/4-inch Allen wrench to clear the jam from the unit’s base. Alternatively, carefully use a broom handle down the drain (avoid using your fingers) to dislodge the flywheel.
- Inefficient food grinding: Over time, disposal blades can dull or wear out. Restoring functionality might involve sharpening the blades or replacing the grinding mechanism.
- Leakage from the disposal: A damaged hose or seal could be causing this issue. A plumber from Jackson Plumbing will meticulously inspect the unit to pinpoint and resolve the leak.
- Operative disposal but stagnant sink drainage: This points to a blockage deeper within the pipe. Avoid using drain cleaners and instead, opt for professional drain cleaning services by contacting a plumber.
