Maintaining a properly functioning waste disposal system in your kitchen is crucial for a hassle-free cooking experience. It can be frustrating when the disposal system clogs and the garbage refuses to go down the drain. This is where our professional Kitchen Waste Disposal Repairs services come in. Our team of experienced technicians specialises in repairing and installing waste disposal systems such as Insinkerators, and we cover all types of plumbing repairs in London.
For individuals who don't have the means to compost, an 'in-sink' waste disposal unit offers a clean and efficient method to dispose of food waste, doing away with smelly garbage bins. These disposal units operate by pulverising food scraps into small particles, allowing them to pass effortlessly through the water waste system rather than end up in landfills. This process can minimise the environmental impact of food waste and help promote more sustainable waste management practices.
However, waste disposals are a must-have tool for any modern kitchen. Food waste disposers provide an efficient, convenient, and hygienic solution that eliminates waste disposal challenges. With the convenience of quickly getting rid of food waste, they provide a cleaner and more hygienic environment. The presence of decomposing food in rubbish bins can lead to foul odours that are both unpleasant and unhealthy.

How exactly do they work?
Let's take a closer look at waste disposal.Waste Disposal
When apple peels/eggshells/meat/small bones/ice etc. (always refer to the manufacturer's handbook) are deposited into the grinding chamber, the water is turned on, and the 'ON' switch is activated. The food waste is moved back and forth within the grinding chamber. The unit does not contain sharp blades; instead, they rely on a grinding mechanism to break down the food waste into fine particles.
However, like any other household appliance, waste disposal will experience issues over time, which often leaves one with having to choose between repair or replacement.
Repair or replace?
The decision often boils down to the cost of repair Vs the cost of replacement. Sometimes the cost of repair can be close to the replacement cost. Plus, with a repair, who's to say that other possibly other weakened components (depending on the age of the unit) won't fail soon after? New units usually come with a 1-4 years guarantee (sometimes longer).When it goes wrong!
Nature of the ProblemWhen it comes to repairs, the extent and complexity of the problem will determine the repair cost. Minor problems like a jammed flywheel or clogged drain can be resolved quickly by the operator without engaging an engineer. However, the repair costs could increase when dealing with more complex issues, such as motor failure or extensive internal damage.
In some severe cases, a replacement unit is recommended. It's essential to have a professional engineer who can assess the cause of the breakdown and provide an estimate before proceeding with any repairs. A thorough diagnosis can help make an informed decision about a repair over replacement or vice versa.
Clogged kitchen drain?
If the sink overflows when you run the waste disposal unit, this could indicate blockages in the pipes or drain caused by food particles lodged in the pipework (check that the waste placed in the unit does not exceed the recommendations). Attempting to clear these blockages yourself can be tricky and time-consuming. Therefore, leave it to a trusted London serviceteam engineer. Neglecting to fix a blocked

Using waste disposal properly is important to avoid blockages and maximise its efficiency.

Periodically, running cold water with a handful of ice cubes and a citrus fruit thrown in can keep the unit clean and smelling fresh. These simple yet effective steps contribute to your disposal unit's longevity.Replacing the waste disposal
