Well Saturday evening my daughters chore is the dishes. She thought it was a good idea to put leftover chucks of pot roast in the garbage disposal. Now on Monday after a whole bottle of Draino and a plunger we have a sink full of water plus water coming up through the carpet in the living room near the bathroom. I have actually called a handyman with the hopes it is an easy fix, but...I will have to let you know how it turns out later.
Here are some stories from friends:
"I put a whole pot of macaroni down one time and had to unscrew all the plumbing myself and take out the garbage disposal and clean it out. You probably just need to unscrew the pipe that goes into it (after you unplug it from the electricity first) and clean out the roast. yep one day I had macaroni backed up and all swollen up all the way from the disposal into the pipe in the wall."
"I put peanut shells in ours a few days ago and hubby is still working to fix it." :o(
I guess the lesson here is never trust the garbage disposal with large chunks of anything heavier than lettuce. I will let you know what happens.
