Silver Saints offers London residents a wide variety of waste disposal repair and replacement services. As a result, many clients wonder when they should repair or replace their waste disposal unit. This isn't surprising because garbage disposal repairs can sometimes cost as much as replacing a faulty waste disposal unit with a new unit.

Here are some suggestions that can help readers determine when to consider hiring a Silver Saints handyman to handle their garbage disposal repairs.

--If your garbage disposal leaks round the sink flange or near the dishwasher connection, you might be able to repair the unit.

We offer garbage disposal repairs that can fix leaks round the disposal's sink flange and near the dishwasher connection. For example, we can often repairs leaky dishwasher hoses, and replace faulty mounting bolts or mounting rings in one visit.

--A Silver Saints handyman can fix most clogged Insikerator units in a jiffy.

We can usually service Insinkerator units that are clogged in one visit. This is the case because our trained handymen can usually spot clogs near drain pipe and near the tubes that run from the waste disposal to the dishwasher very quickly. We can also help you locate and solve many clog problems that are located near most Insinkerator's drain traps.

--Furthermore, we might be able to help you dislodge debris from waste disposal's flywheels that prevent the waste disposal from operating efficiently.

Most garbage disposals have flywheels that help turn the unit's shredders that break down waste into small bits. These parts can easily become clogged with debris that become lodged into the area near the motor.

A Silver Saints handyman can help you dislodge debris that get stuck into these parts using various techniques that carefully remove the debris without dismantling the entire unit.

On the other hand, there are some instances in which it's a good idea to replace a faulty waste disposal unit with a brand new garbage disposal.

--For example, garbage disposals that make no noise when they are turned are a good candidate for replacement.

This is the case because many faulty garbage disposals that make no noise often have a faulty motor or a faulty switch that make the unit unusable. A Silver Saints handyman can help you determine if your garbage disposal has a faulty motor or faulty switch by conducting some diagnostic tests that can pinpoint the source of your waste disposal's troubles.

--Finally, it's also a good idea to replace a garbage disposal that repeatedly leaks.

It's a good idea to replace garbage disposals that repeatedly leak round the disposal's sink flange or near the pipes that carry waste products away from your home. This is true because people can often save money on unnecessary repairs by replacing their leaky garbage disposals with newer units that perform well.
