It’s a family thing.

April 25th, National Hug a Plumber Day!
Whether it is a minor leak or a major clog, a plumber will have the correct tools for the job. Without plumbers, our society would not be as we know it. They help us improve our lives and health in our modern world. We celebrate all of the hard work, skill and ingenuity of plumbers in our country on April 25th, by celebrating National Hug a Plumber Day! We remember that feeling when our sinks flow properly, the water damage in our basement is fixed and we have hot water on demand.

Specialty service contractors provide the skills to keep us all healthy and safe in our homes and businesses. Much honor and respect for those that have the education and skills required to attain journeyman level.

A Happy and Prosperous New Year to All.

How scary our future is going to look without a skilled workforce. In the middle of overachievement night, my thought was “Where are all the plumbers?”

What Can I Put Down My Garbage Disposal?

You have to be selective about what kinds of foods you put down your garbage disposal. A garbage disposal is a great kitchen tool that uses a combination of water from your kitchen sink, rotary blades, and the drainage pipes from your home to get rid of food particles that would otherwise have to sit in your kitchen garbage pail. Without a garbage disposal, you may not get to these kinds of leftover scraps of food until they create an unpleasant odor, along with attracting unwelcome pests.

While you can put just about any non-fibrous food down your disposal, you have to be aware that fibrous food cast-offs like corn husks and asparagus should never be put down a garbage disposal. These fibers wrap themselves around the rotating plates and then disable the motor. The only way to disentangle this kind of motor lock-up is to call a plumber, who may have to install a new garbage disposal.

So, in order to keep your garbage disposal running all of the time, you need to be aware of what you can put down it and what you can't. Also make sure that all of your family members understand the rules. This means telling them that the first thing you must have is cold water running from the tap if you want to run the garbage disposal. The logistics of a garbage disposal operates on the fact that you have adequate water going through it while it is running. Never ever run your garbage disposal while you do not have water running through it. This defeats the whole purpose of using plumbing to dispose of excess food particles from dishes and plates.

If used properly and with adequate water, you can put just about any non-fibrous food down your disposal including meat scraps, eggs, egg shells, coffee grounds, bones up 1/2 inch in diameter, and fruits like apples as well as peelings from vegetables like cucumbers and potatoes. There are even other kinds of fruit peels that you can put down your garbage disposal to actually help it. The peels from any citrus fruit will freshen up your garbage disposal if it smells sour. For example, grinding up the leftover parts from lemons, limes, and oranges will make your garbage disposal smell sweet.

Albert Einstein said this back in the day,

"If I would be a young man again and had to decide how to make my living, I would not try to become a scientist or scholar or teacher. I would rather choose to be a plumber or a peddler in the hope to find that modest degree of independence still available under present circumstances.”
