Kitchen Plumbing Services in Montreal & Laval

Here's when to repair vs. replace your garbage disposal:

When to Repair

Repair if unit is under 5 years old, motor hums but doesn't turn, or simple reset fixes the issue.

When to Replace

Replace if unit is 8+ years old, leaks from bottom, or repair costs exceed 50% of replacement cost.

We'll diagnose the issue and recommend the most cost-effective solution.

Often, replacing an old disposal with a new, more efficient model is better long-term.

While possible, we strongly recommend professional dishwasher installation.

Why Professional Installation Matters

Improper hookups can cause leaks damaging floors and cabinets.

Additionally, it must be properly vented and angled to prevent backflow.

Professional installation ensures your dishwasher works correctly and lasts longer.

Consequently, the peace of mind is worth the investment.

Preventing kitchen drain clogs saves you from emergencies and expensive repairs.

Prevention Tips

First, never pour grease or oil down drains.

Next, use sink strainers to catch food particles.

Then, run hot water for 30 seconds after each use to melt grease buildup.

If you have slow drains, don't use chemical cleaners.

Instead, call us for professional drain cleaning.
