Garburator jammed, humming, or leaking? We fix garbage disposals fast — no plumber needed. All brands serviced, next-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.
Burnaby has a huge range of housing — from towers around Metrotown and Brentwood to older ranchers in Burnaby Heights. We're familiar with the appliance setups in all of them, including the stacked washer/dryers common in newer condos.
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 next 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.
We provide next-day garburator repair across all Burnaby neighbourhoods, including Metrotown, Brentwood, Edmonds, Burnaby Heights, and Burnaby Mountain. No matter where you are, we'll give you a real arrival window — not an all-day wait.
Call before noon — we'll usually be at your Burnaby home the same afternoon.
Parts and labour covered. If it breaks again, we come back free.
Full quote before any work starts. Diagnostic fee credited toward repair.
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.
Burnaby is right next to our Coquitlam base — most Burnaby locations are 15-20 minutes away. Next-day service is almost always available.
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.
Yes, constantly. These are some of our busiest service areas. We're very familiar with the compact appliance configurations in Burnaby's newer high-rises.
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.
Yes, a standard diagnostic fee applies. If you proceed with the repair, the full fee is credited toward your total cost — so you only pay for the fix.
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.
Every repair comes with our 3-month parts and labour warranty, regardless of location. If the same issue comes back, we return and fix it at no extra cost.
