Turn off power, remove visible debris with tongs, then try the reset button. For persistent clogs common in older Denver homes, call Roto-Rooter rather than attempting aggressive DIY methods.

Denver's hard water creates mineral buildup that clogs grinding chambers and strains motors. High altitude can reduce motor efficiency and affect electrical connections, while seasonal temperature changes cause expansion and contraction issues in disposal components.

Holiday cooking and summer grilling seasons spike disposal usage, putting extra strain on disposal systems with increased food waste. Local produce from farmers' markets and seasonal entertaining create higher volumes of vegetable scraps, often exposing problems in older disposal systems.

To prevent garbage disposal issues, Denver homeowners should use cold water and avoid fibrous foods. This practice helps reduce jams and prolongs the lifespan of the unit. Regular garbage disposal maintenance for Denver residents includes ice cleaning to prevent mineral buildup and scheduling professional inspections to tackle altitude and hard water challenges.

Proper garbage disposal maintenance practiced by Denver homeowners can significantly extend your unit's lifespan and prevent costly repairs, especially due to our city's hard water and high-altitude conditions.

Use Cold Water Always: Run cold water during and after grinding to prevent mineral buildup from hard water, which can jam blades and strain motors over time.
Clean Safely Monthly: Drop ice cubes and citrus peels down your disposal for natural cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals that react poorly with Denver's water chemistry and damage internal components.
Avoid These Problem Foods: Never grind fibrous vegetables like celery or starchy potato peels because these create paste-like clogs that are particularly troublesome.
Monitor Performance: Listen for grinding sounds becoming louder or motors straining, which signals mineral buildup. If you hear these warning signs, call Roto-Rooter at 303-666-0045 before minor issues become major repairs.
