Frequently Asked Questions

A trash chute may need to be replaced if it’s severely damaged, corroded, or outdated to the point where repairs are no longer effective or cost-efficient. Replacement might also be necessary if the chute no longer meets current safety standards or if the building undergoes significant renovations requiring an upgraded system.

Replacing a trash chute involves removing the old chute, which may require partial demolition of walls to access the shaft. The new chute is then installed, often in sections that are assembled in place, ensuring alignment and secure attachment. The process includes updating or replacing chute doors, fire-rated doors, and any associated ductwork. The installation is completed by sealing the chute, conducting safety tests, and ensuring compliance with building codes.

The replacement process can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on the size of the building and the complexity of the installation. While there will be some disruption, particularly with noise and restricted access to certain areas, experienced contractors will typically work to minimize inconvenience by scheduling work during off-peak hours and coordinating with building management.
