Garburators

Can a jammed garburator be fixed?

Usually, yes. Gavin can usually get an existing garburator back up and running in very little time. When one does need replacing, he installs a new one, and there are many types and sizes, each designed for a different kind of household.

Garburators have become a kitchen appliance a lot of people cannot do without, and the newer ones are quieter and more efficient than they used to be.

If you have been thinking about adding one, or replacing an old one, Gavin can help you pick the right unit and install it.

★★★★★We had a number of jobs for him to complete (kitchen faucet install, shut off valve installation in all bathrooms, bathtub leak repair, etc.). He also was on time for the consultation and scheduled work (didn't keep us waiting at all). We found his prices VERY reasonable, and would absolutely use his services again.

★★★★★My toilet clogged and I could not unclogged with anything. Gavin came and fixed it in less than an hour for best rate than anyone I have called in Airdrie or in Calgary. He will even give you call ahead before he will show up.
Peter WiGoogle review
★★★★★I had Gavin come in and fix, permanently, a "homemade husband repair" and he didn't even laugh at the workmanship! That's a professional! Seriously, Gavin did an excellent job to make sure I got the results I needed.
Debbie MartinGoogle review
★★★★★Gavin was great to work with. Very easy to get an appointment to look at our leaking water heater. After a quick but thorough assessment, he determined the heater needed replacement and was able to get a new one installed same day. A few days later, Gavin called to let me know that he had looked into the ruined heater, found that it was under warranty still, and that the warranty money would be discounted from the price.

★★★★★Had a hot water heater issue. I did some asking around and everyone was telling me I needed a new heater. Over the phone Gavin said the hot water heater did not need to be replaced. Right on time he was in and out within 30 mins. Cost me even less then he quoted.

★★★★★Gavin is hardworking, honest, efficient and with out a doubt the best person to pick if you require heating or plumbing services. I could not speak more highly of his work, ensuring my heating was fixed in a cold snap at a reasonable price.

★★★★★He is someone who comes across as professional, knowledgeable and always sees the job to completion with very reasonable pricing. He helped us through a lot of issues we were having with our hot water tank and took a systematic approach instead of making assumptions.

★★★★★Punctual, great job done, was honest about the work, informed me as to why I had the problem so that it wouldn't happen again, and then charged me a whole lot less then I dreamed of.

Questions

Garburators questions

My garburator hums but will not spin. Can it be fixed?

Often, yes. A humming garburator is usually jammed, and a jam can usually be cleared without replacing the unit. Gavin can usually get an existing garburator back up and running in very little time. If it can not be saved, he will price a replacement up front.

Should I repair or replace my garburator?

It depends on the unit. A jam or a loose connection is a repair. A unit leaking from its body, or one that has simply worn out, is usually a replacement. Gavin will tell you which one yours needs and give you the price for both.

What size garburator do I need?

There are many different types and sizes, each designed for a different kind of household, and the newer models are quieter and more efficient than older ones. Gavin can help you pick the right one for how your kitchen gets used, then install it for you.

What should not go down a garburator?

Grease and oil, large bones, and stringy or starchy scraps like celery, onion skins and potato peels are the usual culprits behind jams and slow kitchen drains. Run cold water while it is on and for a few seconds after you switch it off.
