Introduction to Garburator Services

Whether you need a new disposal installed or your current unit repaired, our team ensures your kitchen remains efficient, hygienic, and free from plumbing issues. Trust our experts to keep your sink and drainage system running smoothly with professional garburator services tailored to your needs.
What is a Garburator?
A garburator, or garbage disposal, is an electrically powered device installed under your kitchen sink and is considered an essential kitchen appliance. It collects and grinds up food scraps into small particles that can safely pass through your plumbing, which helps minimize clogs in the drain pipe, into Burnaby’s municipal sewer system. Garburators help keep kitchens clean, reduce odours, prevent food waste from clogging your pipes, and allow you to efficiently get rid of food waste.
Benefits of Garburator Installation
Upgrading your kitchen with a new garburator offers a range of benefits that go beyond simple convenience. By grinding up food scraps and waste, a garburator helps reduce the amount of food waste sent to landfills and keeps your kitchen sink free from stubborn clogs. This not only makes cleaning up after meals faster and easier, but also helps eliminate unpleasant odors that can linger in your sink. With a properly installed garburator, you can enjoy a fresher, more hygienic kitchen environment. Our skilled plumbers will guide you in selecting the ideal unit for your needs and handle the installation process efficiently, ensuring your new garburator is up and running in no time.
Common Causes of Garburator Damage
Even the best units can be damaged by certain items, which can cause a clog or even damage the drain pipe. To extend the life of your garbage disposal, avoid putting these into your unit:
- Non-food items – utensils, twist ties, or packaging
- Grease – solidifies and clogs pipes
- Fibrous foods – celery, kale, potato peels, onion skins
- Starchy foods – uncooked pasta, rice
- Coffee grounds – can build up in the trap
- Fruit pits and seeds – too hard for blades
- Eggshells – membrane can tangle the blades
- Bones – best placed in compost
Improper use can also lead to a leak in the system, especially if a clog or damage to the drain pipe occurs.
Signs You Need Garburator Repair or Replacement
Call us if you notice:
- Jammed blades or unusual noises (listen for grinding or other unusual noises as a sign of a problem)
- Slow-draining sink after using the unit
- Persistent unpleasant odours from the drain
- Foreign objects stuck inside
If your garburator won't turn on, check the reset button and switch first, as electrical issues like a wiring problem or a faulty motor can be the cause. A broken or leaking unit, or visible leaks, are also signs you need to call a professional to fix the problem before it leads to further damage or costly repairs. A professional can quickly identify the source of the issue, whether it's a simple repair or one of several other common issues or other issues that can affect garbage disposals.
