Our Garbage Disposal Services in New Port Richey
R.J. Kielty Plumbing, Air, & Electric Inc. offers a complete range of garbage disposal services for residential and commercial properties. Our licensed plumbers work on all major brands and models, and every job includes upfront pricing with no hidden fees.
Garbage Disposal Repair
Garbage disposal problems usually show up as strange noises, slow draining, or a unit that won’t turn on at all. Common causes include jammed impellers, worn bearings, electrical faults, and internal leaks.
Our plumbers diagnose the issue on-site and explain exactly what’s wrong before starting any repair. In many cases, a garbage disposal repair takes less than an hour. We carry common replacement parts on our trucks, so most repairs are completed in a single visit.
If your unit hums but doesn’t spin, that’s typically a jam. If it’s completely silent, the problem could be electrical, a tripped breaker, a faulty switch, or a burned-out motor. We test each component individually to pinpoint the failure.
Garbage Disposal Installation
Installing a garbage disposal requires proper electrical connections, secure mounting to the sink flange, and correct plumbing tie-ins to your drain line and dishwasher (if applicable). Done incorrectly, you risk leaks, electrical hazards, or voided warranties.
R.J. Kielty’s plumbers install garbage disposals from all major manufacturers, including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, and GE. We help you choose the right horsepower and features based on your household size and usage. A ⅓ HP unit works fine for a single person or couple. Families of four or more generally need ¾ HP or higher.
How much does a plumber charge to install a garbage disposal? At R.J. Kielty, we provide a flat-rate quote before the work begins. The total cost depends on the unit you select, whether new electrical wiring is needed, and the condition of your existing plumbing connections.
Garbage Disposal Replacement & Upgrades
Most garbage disposals last 8 to 15 years. If yours is older, leaking from the bottom housing, or requiring frequent resets, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
Upgrading gives you the chance to move to a quieter, more powerful model. Modern garbage disposals feature improved sound insulation, stainless steel grinding components, and auto-reverse jam protection. Multi-grind technology in higher-end units breaks down tough food waste, like chicken bones and fibrous vegetables, that older models can’t handle.
Our team removes your old unit, inspects the sink flange and drain connections, and installs the new garbage disposal. We test everything before we leave to make sure it runs properly and drains clean.
Garbage Disposal Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Regular maintenance extends the life of your garbage disposal and prevents most common problems. Here are a few things we recommend:
Run cold water before, during, and after using your disposal. Cold water solidifies grease, so the blades can break it up before it reaches your drain line. Avoid putting fibrous foods like celery, corn husks, or artichoke leaves into the unit, they wrap around the impellers and cause jams.
Never pour cooking grease or oil down the disposal. It coats the grinding components and builds up inside the drain pipe over time. If your disposal develops an odor, grind a handful of ice cubes with a few lemon peels to clean the chamber.
If your garbage disposal stops working, try these steps before calling for service: press the reset button on the bottom of the unit, check the circuit breaker, and use an Allen wrench in the manual rotation slot to free a jam. If none of that works, call R.J. Kielty Plumbing, Air, & Electric Inc. and we’ll send a plumber out to diagnose the issue.
