Don’t Pour Grease Into Your Garbage Disposal

I get a call in the morning from a lady who is upset! She had been cooking a roast the night before and needed to pour off some of the fat from the pan and had decided to pour it in her garbage disposal.

She soon discovered that this is not the best place to dispose of grease because after dinner she loaded up the dishwasher and it woudln’t work.

Because she had called before 12 I was able to get her on the schedule for that day, I can do that most of the time, sometimes I am too busy to do so.

When I got there, I discovered that the grease had run down the drain hole for the dishwasher (most dishwashers drain through the garbage disposal). What had caused the problem was that when it cooled, the liquid had turned solid for about a foot.

The drain pump in the dishwasher simply didn’t have enough power to push this big of a clog back into the garbage disposal.

Without going into the boring particulars about how I cleared the drain, I was able to clear that same afternoon and get her life back to normal. I love being able to do that.

Even better she called one of my clients who had referred her to me and told her that “I really knew my stuff” and that I was very good at what I do. That pleased me even more because I like making people who refer me look good.

If you have an issue you need help with, please give me a call, I’ll do my best to make you as happy as these two clients were!
