Garbage disposals, or garburators, are wonderful inventions of modern man. They grind up all the food parts that are leftover from eating, or food preparation, and allow that to pass through the pipes in your home with ease. We often take for granted what wonderful jobs they do for us every day, with just the flip of a switch.

However, what do you do when you flip that switch, and very little, or worse, nothing is happening? The first thing is, recognize you have a garburator problem, and you need help. You call the company that has the best garburator repair and replacement service in Coquitlam, BC. You call Coquitlam Plumbing Pros!

Repair Services

How do you know if your garburator is needing repair service? Several things will indicate a problem with your unit. First, you may flip the switch and hear a humming noise, but you do not see the blades spinning. This is usually caused by some debris, or a kitchen utensil, that has the blades jammed up. You can try to remove it yourself, but do not stick your hands into the disposal. Turn it off, or unplug it, and use kitchen tongs to try and remove it. If you are not comfortable with that, that is where we can help.

Another sign, of course, is a slow-moving drain or a backup into the sink. Garburators can break up many things, but fibrous foods like celery and spaghetti, should not be put down the disposal. Those types of foods expand and will stop the flow of water. If you cannot get the sink unclogged, call us today, because our garburator repair specialists are also licensed plumbers, they can fix that clogged disposal.

Finally, if your garburator is simply not breaking food up like it once was, your blades may be worn and need replacing. We carry many garburator parts, such as blades, and can replace them for you, and get it working again. However, if your disposal is over 5 years old, it usually cheaper to just replace the entire unit. Our technicians will tell you up front if the disposal can be repaired or needs replacing. All of this is done before any additional work is performed, so you know exactly how much it will cost.

Installation Service

If your old garburator has reached the point of being too costly to repair, then it is time to replace the entire unit. Modern garburators are more efficient and constructed of better materials than ones made just a few years ago. If you do not have a garburator and are considering installing a new one, Coquitlam Plumbing Pros can install a new unit for you today.

Installation of a new garburator is not a DIY job. Proper installation of your new disposal is essential to your new unit operating efficiently and safely. Some fly by night companies say they install garburators, but Coquitlam Plumbing Pros are fully licensed plumbers that have years of experience, and the professional training to install new disposals. The wrong installation can cause a leak or even more damage that could wind up costing you more in plumbing repairs.

When it comes to choosing a quality garburator, our certified plumbers know their products. In fact, our company works with the industry’s top manufacturers such as the following:

• Insikerator
• Waste King
• Moen
• Kitchen Aid
• General Electric
• Whirlpool
• Joneca Corporation
• Eco Logic
• In-sink-erator
• Anaheim Manufacturing
• Kindred
• Titan

Knowing that you are working with professionals that only use the best parts and brands, you can take comfort that the garburator we install, is going to last you for the next 5-7 years.

Maintenance Service

When you buy and install a new garburator, you are making an investment. Like all investments, you want that appliance to work at peak efficiency, and not break down. Even a newly installed garburator, if not properly maintained, can and will start to underperform, or eventually fail. Coquitlam Plumbing Pros provide garburator maintenance services, and we have been doing so in the Coquitlam area for many years.

Our contractors know how garburators work and are very familiar with all makes and models of this appliance.   We are constantly training our repairmen on the latest servicing techniques, which means longer life, and better operating capacity for your disposal. Rather than trying to perform the service yourself, we can take care of all servicing of your garbage disposal.

When our technicians arrive, they perform a visual inspection of the appliance. We check for leaks in and around the pipes that connect to the disposal. Remember, a garburator is part of your home’s plumbing system, and when it is working right, your plumbing system is operating normally. Also, our experts test the disposal to ensure that it is cutting up all the food properly and that the blades are not worn down. Another area we check is for any buildup of food matter, that is not making its way out of the system. Any crud leftover, such as fibrous foods, or grease, can cause the system to work harder and fail.

Bottom line is, maintenance of your garburator is far cheaper than having to pay for major repairs. Being on a regular maintenance schedule ensures that if any problems are discovered, they are caught early, before turning into costly repairs. Schedule a maintenance call today!
