Garburator jammed, humming, or leaking? We fix garbage disposals fast — no plumber needed. All brands serviced, same-day appointments available across Metro Vancouver.
A broken garburator is one of those problems that seems small but makes your kitchen sink practically unusable. Whether it's jammed, humming but not grinding, or leaking under the sink, Tech Angels can fix it — usually in under 30 minutes. We repair all garburator brands and models, and most fixes don't require a plumber.
Most garburator problems are simpler than people think. A jammed disposal usually just needs the flywheel freed and the unit reset. A humming sound with no grinding typically means something is stuck between the impeller blades. Leaks usually come from worn gaskets or loose connections. For units that are beyond repair — severely corroded or with burned-out motors — we can install a new garburator the same day.
Garburator repairs are among the most affordable appliance fixes, typically ranging from $100 to $250. A simple jam clearing or reset is on the low end, while a full replacement including a new unit runs higher. Either way, you'll know the exact cost before we start.

Genuine manufacturer parts — not cheap knockoffs that fail again.
Something is jammed between the impeller blades — usually a bone, pit, or utensil. The motor runs but the flywheel can't spin. Our technician will clear the jam and test the unit.
You can try using the hex wrench that came with the unit to manually turn the flywheel from the bottom. If that doesn't work, or if you're not comfortable, call us — garburator jams are a quick fix.
Most garburators last 8-15 years depending on usage. If yours is over 10 years old and having frequent problems, replacement might be more cost-effective than repair.
Leaks usually come from the sink flange connection, the dishwasher inlet, or the drain pipe. Worn gaskets and loose connections are the most common causes — both easy fixes.
Most garburator repairs cost $100-$250. A jam clearing is the cheapest fix. Full replacement including a new unit typically runs $250-$450 depending on the model.
Not usually. Our appliance technicians handle garburator repairs and replacements — no need to book a separate plumber. We do electrical and plumbing connections for disposal units.
Avoid bones, fruit pits, coffee grounds, grease, pasta, rice, and fibrous vegetables like celery. These cause jams and buildup that shorten your disposal's lifespan.
