Top Reasons to Install a Food Waste Disposal Unit (Insinkerator)

Installing a sink garbage disposal unit (often called an Insinkerator) is one of the easiest ways to upgrade your kitchen for better hygiene and efficiency.

They’re great for busy homes because it saves time, reduces mess, and helps the environment.

😷 A Cleaner, Odour-Free Kitchen

You put food scraps down the sink, and they are instantly flushed away. They don't have time to rot in your bin and cause bad smells or attract flies.

🌎 The Eco-Friendly Solution to Food Waste Management

Your disposal helps the environment by sending food scraps away from landfill waste, reducing the harmful methane gas they create. 

The water treatment plants can even turn that waste into useful renewable energy.

⏳ Saves Time & Protects Your Plumbing

Just scrape your plates right into the sink. You won't need those small kitchen bins or plastic bags, and you'll cut down on trips to the main garbage bin.

The unit grinds organic material into fine particles. That means bigger, sticky food scraps won't cause blockages in your pipes down the line.

Garbage Disposal Repair: Why is it Jammed or Leaking?

When your sink garbage disposal stops working, it’s usually one of two things: it's either jammed solid or it's sprung a leak. 

These issues often happen suddenly and need a professional's touch; especially since the unit involves both plumbing and electricity.

Signs Your Disposal Needs Professional Help

If you notice any of these signs, call us for fast repair and diagnosis. Waiting until the sink overflows isn't worth the mess!

🔊 Loud Humming: The unit is humming but not grinding. This usually means the motor is getting power, but the grinding ring is stuck (jammed) by a foreign object or hard scrap.

⛲ Persistent Leaks: If water is dripping from the bottom or sides of the unit under the sink, that's a serious problem. It can rot your cabinets and floors and usually means the internal seals or the unit's shell have failed, requiring replacement.

🔄 Frequent Resets: Constantly having to press the red reset button signals the motor is either overworked or starting to fail. It just can't handle your normal food waste load anymore.

😷 Bad Smells: If you have a foul smell that won't go away, even after cleaning with ice or lemon, it probably means food is stuck on the dull parts inside.

Expert Garbage Disposal Unit Installation & Replacement

Whether you're installing a brand new unit or swapping out an old, broken one, a garbage disposal installation job needs dual expertise: plumbing and electrical. 

This is not a DIY task. Our plumbers are trained to manage the entire process, guaranteeing a safe, leak-free, and professional result.

Choosing the Right Horsepower (HP) Model

If you install the wrong size unit, that's often the number one reason they fail early. We help you choose the right horsepower (HP) for your home:

Small Households (1–2 people): A 1/3 HP unit might work, but we often recommend 1/2 HP for better reliability.

Family Homes (3–5 people): We recommend a 3/4 HP unit. It's strong enough to handle regular food scraps easily, preventing the motor from overloading.

Large Households: We install the powerful 1 HP models, which are perfect for managing tough waste (like bones and fibrous materials) and ensuring long term performance and durability.
