Given the population and layout of HDB flats or condominiums in Singapore, proper garbage disposal is a necessity. To create an effective waste management system, HDB rubbish chutes have been introduced by authorities. In a nutshell, these vertical ducts allow residents to dispose of waste directly from their home to a central garbage collection tank at the bottom of the building.
Although rubbish chutes in Singapore are generally made of durable and corrosion-resistant materials, the constant flow of waste can make them prone to wear and tear. This can lead to issues like foul odours, insect infestations, and even structural damage. As a building consisting of several units, these problems can pose health risks for residents if left unchecked. Your rubbish chute needs to be regularly maintained to keep it in optimal condition.
That is why, at PW Plumbing Services, we specialise in professional rubbish chute solutions, including installation, condo rubbish chute replacement, and repair. With years of industrial experience and innovative technologies, our experienced team is equipped to handle any rubbish chute-related issues from a jammed chute to broken hinges. We ensure all services meet the safety and performance standards set by the Housing and Development Board of Singapore, so place your trust in us for long-lasting solutions.
Cleanliness is essential for maintaining the small opening that channels rubbish from your HDB unit to the central collection tank at the bottom of the building. However, damage can occur through improper installation, poor maintenance, or careless use.
If you notice any of the signs below, it means your rubbish chute needs prompt attention or replacement, a service we handle with efficiency and long-lasting results for you.
Common signs in your rubbish chute to be aware of include the following:
Jammed or loose chute door:All rubbish chute doors should open and close smoothly. If it’s difficult to open or doesn’t seal tightly, it could compromise hygiene or lead to insect infestations.
Broken or rusted handles: Handles should be secure and easy to use. Damaged or rusted handles are not only inconvenient but also pose a safety risk.
Rusty chute: A well-maintained HDB rubbish chute should not show signs of rust. Corrosion can lead to a shorter chute lifespan and structural damages.
Pest infestations: One red flag to watch out for are insect or rodent infestations near your rubbish chute. Pests like cockroaches can bring in diseases.
Persistent bad odours: A properly sealed rubbish chute will leave no chance for odour to spread. Lingering foul smells could mean a sealing issue needs to be addressed.
