Garbage Disposal Plumbing Services

Commercial Garbage Disposal Services

If you run a restaurant or other food service establishments, commercial garbage disposal is an essential part of daily operations. It is important to grind down food waste before disposing it into the wastewater system. This is necessary not only to help protect the plumbing so it doesn’t become clogged with food particles but also to meet local codes that restrict what a business can send into the municipal sewer system. 

Commercial disposals are larger and much more powerful than their cousins found in the sinks of homes. The garbage disposals at your company need to have special professional care from commercial plumbers. If you are planning to install a new disposal, you will also need to rely on experts to select the right unit and install it so that it works properly. Mr. Swirl The Friendly Plumber has the commercial garbage disposal services you need.

Installation and Replacement

Whether it’s the first disposal for a new location or replacing an aging unit, the first step is determining the right type of disposal for your establishment. There are many different models of commercial disposal. For a small business with simple waste disposal needs, a single horsepower unit may be sufficient. Larger buildings, such as hotels, or any establishment that deals with material that is more difficult to grind may require a heavy-duty 10 horsepower disposal. 

If you aren’t sure about what type of disposal will meet the specific requirements of your business, no need to worry — picking the right disposal is your installer’s expertise. They will select a unit that matches all your needs, with the correct horsepower and limiting wasted energy. The new unit will be mounted securely in place so that its vibrations do not damage other fixtures or cause the unit to loosen. The installers will make sure that the disposal is correctly connected to the plumbing and the power system.

Do you need repairs for your commercial garbage disposal?

At the first indication that your garbage disposal needs repair service, call on our experts to take care of the job. Here are a number of issues you should watch for:

• Leaks and Odours: When the seals around disposal start to wear down, waste will begin to escape, creating leaks and bad odours. This can present health hazards for your business.
• Humming: A humming sound without any other action usually means the motor or impeller is burned out.
• Jams: Should the flywheel become stuck, don’t attempt to dislodge it by hand! Call for help before the jam burns out the motor.
• Clogs: The unit won’t drain. This could be clogging in the plumbing, or it might be a failure of the disposal to grind down food waste properly.
