Trash Chute Replacement
As buildings age, critical systems eventually require replacement—and trash chutes are no exception. Though often out of sight, an aging or failing chute system can compromise safety, sanitation, and daily operations, even with regular maintenance.
Southern Chute Inc. manages the full lifecycle of trash chute systems, from assessment to complete replacement, addressing warning signs such as frequent backups, persistent odors, separating chute sections, damaged intake ramps, and recurring pest issues to restore reliability and compliance.
Trash Chute Repair
Your building’s trash chute system is a critical life safety component that must meet strict building and fire code requirements. Proper maintenance and timely repairs help prevent fire and smoke damage, code violations, resident injuries, and persistent odor or pest issues. In the event of a trash room fire, a fully functional discharge door is essential to stop smoke and flames from traveling up the chute and spreading throughout the building.
Southern Chute Inc. ensures trash chute doors self-close and self-latch correctly, contain odors and pests, and operate smoothly without slamming—keeping your building safe, compliant, and comfortable for residents.
Trash Chute Cleaning
Regular trash chute cleaning removes greasy sludge that attracts pests, spreads foul odors, and increases fire risk, helping maintain a healthier environment for residents and staff. Using high-pressure, super-heated water, grease and grime are safely eliminated without causing rust, while bacteria levels are reduced to limit airborne contaminants and odors. Granular deodorizers neutralize lingering smells, the chute is treated to deter roaches and other pests, and all trash and discharge doors are hand-cleaned, serviced, and equipped with fusible links as required by fire code.
Southern Chute Inc. also provides written estimates for any required repairs or code violations, ensuring full transparency and compliance.
Odor & Insect Control
ChuteScents® provides continuous, eco-friendly odor control without overpowering fragrances or harsh chemicals. Releasing a light mist every 15 minutes, it neutralizes odors and odor-causing bacteria 24/7 using a USDA-certified eucalyptus-based concentrate that naturally repels insects such as fruit flies and gnats. Additional solutions, including Scatter Deodorizers and Deodorizer Blocks for trash rooms, are also available.
ChuteScents® is installed and maintained monthly by Southern Chute Inc., a fully insured, state-licensed contractor—requiring only a dedicated 110V outlet and no long-term contract.
Lint Removal
Lint buildup in dryer risers is highly flammable and poses a serious fire risk, while also promoting mold, mildew, and airborne particles that can irritate the respiratory system and worsen allergies, sinus issues, and bronchitis. Clogged risers further reduce dryer efficiency and increase wear on equipment.
