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.
From high-rise condos downtown to character homes in Kitsilano, Vancouver has one of the most diverse appliance installations in the region. We work with compact European-style units in smaller spaces and full-size premium setups in larger homes.
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 Vancouver neighbourhoods, including Downtown, Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, East Van, Kerrisdale, Dunbar, Marpole, and Shaughnessy. No matter where you are, we'll give you a real arrival window — not an all-day wait.

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.
If you call before noon, we can usually be at your Vancouver home the same afternoon. Downtown, Kitsilano, East Van, and most central neighbourhoods are within 25-30 minutes of our base.
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. We work in high-rises regularly — we know the drill with concierge access, service elevators, and tight laundry closets. Just let us know your building when you book.
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, there's a standard diagnostic fee that covers the trip and diagnosis. If you go ahead with the repair, we credit the full diagnostic fee toward the total cost.
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.
We're open 7 days a week, 8am to 5pm. Same pricing every day — no weekend surcharges or extra fees.
