Garbage Disposal

The garbage disposal was invented in the late 1920′s by John W. Hamme and was later marketed (1938) by his newly founded company, InSinkErator. Since its inception, its use has been heavily scrutinized and, at times, prohibited (as late as 2007, although repealed) by municipal sewage treatment plants.

Proponents have argued that garbage disposals responsibly divert solids from landfills to effluent disposal systems. Furthermore, with proper treatment, the increased food solids prove beneficial adding organic carbon which promotes bacterial composition.

The garbage disposal has become very popular in the United States. In new homes, it is a standard amenity. When used properly, the garbage disposal can provide years of service.

AAA AUGER Plumber Houston Heartfelt Holiday Note

On Christmas Day, William woke up to get the house ready for the 15 or so guests arriving that evening. This was a great plan, until the main drain line quit working. With the cost of calling someone to come out on such a big holiday, William panicked, until he remembered that our AAA AUGER plumber Houston didn't charge extra for coming out on holidays. After a prompt response, our plumber Andy was on his way. William was astonished at how quickly they unclogged the line. Especially because it was on Christmas Day! William described Andy and his team as “efficient, intelligent, courteous” and we agree. We take pride in being respectful to the homes we enter. This particular job being on a major holiday, we understand that promptness is of the utmost importance. “Thank you again, I will certainly call you on my next plumbing event,” William said. We hope he doesn’t have any more problems, especially during the holidays! However, we’re here any time day or night, 365 days a year, to help him and anyone else with a plumbing emergency.
