We hired Solid to replace our aging hot water tank. Zach was very knowledgeable in explaining our options, and the crew that did the install were efficient and professional. We wouldn't hesitate to use Solid again in the future!

Solid plumbing did our bathroom build/reno (through MAC renovations) and we were so happy with the work they did. DJ was very professional and kind and even when above and beyond to make sure things were running correctly. Highly recommend!

Solid Plumbing owner Zach is very personable and he provided quick attendance to my home when I had a plumbing issue last week. His staff that I met during my reno in 2021 and this latest issue are all very friendly and pleasant. I would definitely recommend Solid Plumbing.

This is the third time I have used Solid Plumbing to help with my plumbing problems. The service has always been excellent and the staff are polite and pleasant to deal with. Recently when my pipes froze they really saved me because they came late in the day; fixed not only the original problem with a burst pipe but 3 more that showed up; and made sure all was well before they left. The next day it snowed blocking the road so we would have had no water for many more days. I would not hesitate to use their services again or recommend them to others. Thanks a lot Solid.

We Are Your Victoria, BC. Kitchen Garbage Disposal Experts

Garbage disposals are a modern convenience and provide a fast way to deal with all of the food waste that inevitably ends up in your sink. Your garbage disposal can macerate the food waste so it doesn't lead to clogs in your pipes and drains. If your garbage disposal is clogged or no longer working as it should we can help you fix it!

Solid Plumbing & Gas, Ltd. is a full service plumbing company based out of Victoria, BC. and serving the surrounding area.  We specialize in the repair and installation of garbage disposal units.

How do I keep my garbage disposal working properly?

Like any mechanical equipment garbage disposals rely on periodic maintenance to keep working safely and efficiently. There are several things you can do to extend the life of your garbage disposal and reduce the need to call a plumber for repair.

Here are a few simple tips to keep your garbage disposal working properly:

  • Do NOT pour oil, fat, or grease into your garbage disposal

    Known as FOG in the plumbing industry this is a surefire way to cause problems in the future. The FOG will solidify in your drain and eventually lead to a clog.

  • Do NOT put any hard objects like bones into your disposal

    Bones are very hard and can cause damage to your blades or the motor of your garbage disposal. It's best to avoid sending hard objects through the disposal.

  • Use The Garbage Disposal Regularly

    The more you use the garbage disposal the better it will run. When you use it often it can prevent any rust or corrosion and reduce the waste build-up within the unit.

  • Use Plenty Of Water When Using The Garbage Disposal

    It's easier on the machine when you run lots of water through as your macerating food waste. If it's too dry it will be more difficult for the blades to tear up the food waste, this can lead to premature motor and blade wear and also clogs in your drain.

When a garbage disposal unit stops working it's usually been giving off warning signs for a while but it's not always something a homeowner knows to watch out for.

Here Are A Few Signs Your Garbage Disposal Needs To Be Repaired

  • Grinding Noises

    Your garbage disposal is only meant to grind up food waste. If you hear loud grinding noises you should off the garbage disposal immediately. There could be a piece of broken glass from some dishware or silverware that is caught up in the disposal. Glass, metal, wood, or other hard objects can cause damage to your garbage disposal and very quickly too.

  • Keeps Requiring A Reset

    Garbage disposals have a reset function on them that can be tripped for any number of reasons. If yours is tripping and requires to be reset more frequently than normal it's a sign that you may have an issue with the motor or with the wiring that is in place. We can find the problem with some simple diagnostics.

  • Leakage

    Leaks coming from your garbage disposal unit are a clear sign that it needs repair. The leak could be due to various issues, including faulty seals or cracks in the body of the unit.

  • Strange Or Foul Odors

    Any foul odors or smells coming up from the garbage disposal could indicate a problem. There could be a clog somewhere in the drain or you could have a problem with the garbage disposal not being able to efficiently break down the food waste causing it to linger in the system and rot.

  • Strange Or Foul Odors

    Any foul odors or smells coming up from the garbage disposal could indicate a problem. There could be a clog somewhere in the drain or you could have a problem with the garbage disposal not being able to efficiently break down the food waste causing it to linger in the system and rot.

  • Difference In Pitch or Tone

    Like anything mechanical, your garbage disposal will probably have a familiar "humm" or noise that it makes while you're using it. If you notice the sound changes tone or pitch and stays that way it could indicate a problem somewhere in the system.

  • Non-Operational Unit

    If your garbage disposal simply doesn't turn on despite the power being on, you definitely need a repair or possibly a replacement.  There could be a problem with the switch, some connections, or with the motor itself.
