My Plumber Kelowna Garburator Installation & Repair
A responsible homeowner seems diligent in preventing large pieces of food from going down the sink. But there’s always an amount of food that will slip through, and the pipe catches them. That’s where garbage disposals become a saviour solution. If you have one, you already know it will shred the food waste into small pieces. That way, it passes through the pipe more easily without clogging it.
Is your garburator making loud noises and not working how it should? The blades could need replacement. We can assist you in resolving your garbage disposal headache. Reach us at 250-601-0000 and we will dispatch a plumber the same day!
In fact, your garburator is one of the lifelines of your home, but you will only notice it when it is not working properly.

When that happens, you have our expert technicians at My Plumber Kelowna to help you resolve the issue.

Common problems with garburators
Here are the most common problems that we encounter with disposal systems in the Greater Kelowna area:
- Loud noises coming from inside the system
- Problems while turning on the system
- Clogging because the disposal didn’t crush the garbage properly
- Leaks coming from the disposal or from a connected pipe
- Jamming
What we do
Disposals routinely get jammed when large or irregularly shaped objects are tossed into the system, or if they land at an awkward angle. In that case, we clear the jam by opening up the socket hole and clearing the masher plate. More frequent jams hint at a deeper problem, so we probe deeper to find their root cause.
If the motor does not turn on at all, there is either a problem with the power supply or the disposal motor has shut down because of the excessive heat generated. Usually, pressing the overload button resets the motor. However, give us a call if that does not do the trick, as there may be a problem with the motor itself.
When the garburator leaks, the problem is usually somewhere in the plumbing system. Our expert plumbers will do a basic inspection to find out if the leak is superficial. If not, we probe deeper using our sensitive diagnostic tools to find the source of the leak. Whether it is underground or inside one of your walls, our technicians will pinpoint them for you.
One of the most common problems, we are called to fix with disposals in the Greater Kelowna area, is the grinding noises made by the system. This mostly happens because of worn-out blades that are not sharp enough to cut through hard objects. It could also be because of the loosened screws due to wear and tear. When this happens, we either replace the blades with new ones or tighten the screws, so that they work more efficiently.
Do You Need a Repair or New Installation?
The garbage disposal simplifies your life. So, before you appoint us for the repair, we ask you to follow some good habits. First, treat it with care to keep it functional for longer.
- Always use cold water to grind food
- Do not overfill it
- Before and after using, you need to run water
- Never put bleach, chemicals, and drain cleaners into it
- Never grind bones, overly fibrous materials, and coffee grounds
- Avoid disposing of glass, rubber, and metal
- Don’t use your hand to pull the material out – the pliers or tongs will do the part
Most of the fixes that we apply to garbage disposal systems are minor, and they do not cost a fortune. However, sometimes the problem is so deep that it would cost more to repair it than the price of a new or refurbished system. When this is the case, we advise our clients to invest in a new system as it will work out to be much cheaper.

“I had an exceptional experience with Dave after my hot water tank failed. He did an excellent job at a competitive price. Very happy and will work with him again anytime i need plumbing services.”
“I was very happy with the work that Dave did installing a water filtration system in our home. He was methodical and detailed with his installation. More importantly he was prompt with his responses and communication. I would highly recommend Dave for any of your plumbing needs!”
“We had intermittent low pressure in the house and Dave identified the problem within a few minutes. The fix took a couple hours and he moved the pressure reducer so the outside pressure is higher and inside is perfect. Cost came in at the estimated price. Definitely would hire again.”
“Dave SAVED us today with a huge clog in our kitchen sink! He was so quick to come help us, very genuine and kind. I really appreciate his hard work and he was great to chat with, we especially bonded talking about dogs! I HIGHLY recommend hiring Dave for your plumbing needs! Thanks again! You’re the best!”
“Exceptional service, super friendly, quick to respond! Popped by to take a look at my faucet, provided great advice, ordered the part, was fixed in less then 24 hours! Highly recommended!”
“Dave, came in on the same day I called for him to look at our washing mashing/dryer. Gave us all the information we needed that was helpful and saved us a lot of money. 10/10 recommended and definitely will be using his services again”
“I called the company in the morning and Dave was at my place at 2:30pm. My kitchen sink was clogged and I had a leak (due to the clog). Took him about an hour to get to the root cause of the problem, unclog it, change the strainer, etc. Dave is very professional, kind and respectful.
I’ll be honest, I expected the charge to be around $200-$300 (I paid $397) but I’m happy with the service quality and the fact that he accommodated me the same day. Will use this plumber again in the future if needed. Thank you Dave!”
“Dave was great! We had an issue on a Saturday and he was there within the hour and fixed the problem right away! He also provided some useful suggestions on how to avoid the issue in the future. I’ve used Dave several times now and he has been great each time. Thoughtful, caring and a genuine nice guy! Highly recommend!”
“Great service! Came in and fixed my fully clogged kitchen sink as soon as they could. Very reliable and professional.”
“My Plumber was able to fit us in on a Saturday and took care of a leaky hose bib. He was very professional, knowledgeable and charged a fair price. We will definitely call him again for any plumbing needs.”
