Pittsburgh Garbage Disposal Repair & Service

Pittsburgh Garbage Disposal Repair & Installation

Whenever you run vegetable peels, eggshells, coffee, or other food scraps down your garbage disposal, they trigger build-up which results in long term damage. It’s simple to forget that your garbage disposal requires regular monthly maintenance. If not, you will eventually deal with a blockage or complete breakdown that requires having a brand new one installed. In either case, whether you need to repair your existing garbage disposal or replace it entirely, Taggart Plumbing can help.

Punctual Garbage Disposal Repair

Our Pittsburgh Plumbing Company has the knowledge and ability to rapidly repair or install any type of garbage disposal. Your plumbing professional will also give you easy tips for step-by-step maintenance to help extend the life of this popular kitchen appliance.

Garbage disposals are much more than your typical home appliance, and Taggart Plumbing has been taking care of Pittsburgh’s disposals for a long time.

Garbage Disposal Maintenance Tips

Here are a couple of basic ideas you should follow to extend the life of your garbage disposal so it can continue to make your life simpler for as long as possible.

Running your disposal regularly. Regular usage avoids rust and corrosion while avoiding waste accumulation within.
Run a cup of ice down your disposal once a week or so. This helps keep your blades sharp.
Fall in love with lemon! Dropping a quarter of a lemon down the disposal every so often helps with any odors you have.
Do not put fibrous food products down your disposal like celery, onion skins, and corn husks. They’re more common to trigger jams than other food waste.
Don’t put grease, oil, or fat into your garbage disposal. This will cause the jam that is most regularly the reason for disposal problems and damage.

When you need to repair or replace a garbage disposal in Pittsburgh, call us today at (724) 862-5641.

My toilet was leaking water and I was able to get an appointment with Taggart Plumbing very quickly. They came out and fixed the problem immediately. I highly recommend Taggart Plumbing. There was no hassle and our plumber was very courteous and efficient, such a relief from other plumbing company experiences!

I've had two separate plumbing emergencies in the first three weeks at my new house, and both times we've gotten an incredibly fast response from Taggart. The first time, they quickly diagnosed the location of a should-have-been-hard-to-find leak. The second, they fixed up a disasterof a copper tubing situation in a tiny space under the kitchen sink. Their work is excellent, their service is excellent, and their employees are friendly and professional. Also- they are VERY honest about their work. Great job from Visca!

Mike was very nice, very polite, efficient, and cleaned up very well. To continue the theme; I'm very happy with the service I received from Taggart Plumbing and I will call again with any plumbing issues.

We are satisfied, perfectly satisfied, customers. These guys always exceed expectations by explaining our options and how to maximize the value of their work when selecting among the options. We will call them again without any reservations.

Michael and Merle rapidly responded to a fairly complex plumbing problem, recommending options and alternate solutions to provide a more cost-effective resolution to our plumbing problem. They were prompt, courteous, professional, and very reasonably priced. Their vans were impeccable, they were very well-organized while laying out the varying components needed to complete the job, and did a fantastic job of cleaning up afterwards. In my opinion, they set the bar for what should be expected from skilled professionals like this. I would recommend them highly, and will use them again.

I had a problem with my furnace not working on one of the coldest days of the year and I called Taggart Plumbing because I had used them once before. Visca came and made sure that the furnace was fixed and explained everything to me along the way. I had also bought a new smart thermostat and he hooked that up and programed it for me. He explained all the options and setting to me. Taggart plumbing is the one company that I trust for all of my heating, air conditioning, and plumbing needs.

We have used them twice. They are professional, skillful, and provided first-rate service. The first time was for a leak in our bathroom,they arrived within an hour. The second time was to help with a new kitchen install. I will definitely use them again and would recommend them.

Called on a Friday night for sewage backup through my basement shower and had a plumber at my house within an hour. Received friendly and quick service. The job was done in just over an hour. Unfortunately, my plumbing issues will require more than one service, but I appreciated the honest advice. I would recommend Taggart Plumbing and will certainly call them for future needs.

So happy we called Taggart Plumbing. They came quickly and took care of our problem. Very satisfied.

It all started with a little gurgle I heard in the shower. We figured something was backed up because we had just had a ton of family staying with us during the holidays, and it was probably over used. Turns out we had a much bigger issue. Drainage pipes were clogged and retaining water, seals were bursting in between my walls, and we found that the previous owners of this house used ROLLS OF PAPER TOWELS to plug pipes. After finding all of this we immediately called the Taggart Plumbing. The gentleman who came out was extremely friendly, very knowledgeable, and explained things in a manner that I could wrap my head around. He told us what to expect in the future, what we can do now to prevent this type of thing from happening again, and even gave us some helpful tips about heating and cooling system. We are very pleased with the sense of urgency that he showed, his professionalism in the face of our personal crisis, and his explanation of everything he did. If we have plumbing issues in the future, or we hear that someone needs a good plummer, we're going to refer Taggart. Thank you again!

Called them on a Saturday evening for a clogged main drain at a rental apartment. Scheduled for a Sunday morning, showed up as scheduled, the technician was very knowledgeable and friendly, and quickly resolved the issue. Pricing was very reasonable for a weekend service call. Would definitely recommend and use again.

We needed an emergency plumber and I found Taggart. They said they would be out between 1-3. They got their at 1:00 and looked at what needed fixed and gave us the estimate. Visca was our repairman and was awesome. He had to live to go get some parts and even asked my mom if she needed anything. We will definitely use them again and request Visca.

I am thankful to have contacted Taggart Plumbing, LLC with a nightmare of a problem. As soon as they arrived, they understood the problem and knew exactly where to start. Within minutes, they were able to push through whatever was blocking the main line and release the backed up water inside my house. The cost for work done was quite reasonable and would consider using them again, if necessary. I would also refer them to family and friends, who are in need of a plumber!

We were in need of a plumbing expert to solve a leak in our master bathroom shower and a terrible smell coming from the kitchen sink. we called Taggart and within 8 hours Mike arrived and completely fixed both problems with a very fair price.

Responded very quickly to my needs. Stayed in touch during the job. Did a great job replacing the riser on my gas line. I would highly recommend !

19:31 02 Oct 18

Visca showed up when he said he would, was polite and informative and answered my questions. I had to have him come out on a Saturday to snake a line, and the weekend charge was a little extra, but reasonable. Also, I have a separate minor issue, but recommended I try that one myself, since it's a pretty simple repair. Honest guy! Will definitely use Taggart Plumbing again! My first choice in plumbers!!

Kelly Maloney

I needed a washer and dryer installed in a very small space without an existing external vent. It was a very complicated installation, but the team from Taggart arrived the next day and were able to make everything fit and work as intended. I even appreciated the follow up emails/texts to make sure everything was operating properly. Two thumbs up.

Awesome service. I never dealt Taggart Plumbing previously and did not hear of them from anyone else. My pilot light went out on my water tank and I could not get it lite. I call these guys and they were here in 2 hours. Awesome service and a reasonable price.

Brian Campbell

Taggart plumbing was very responsive and expedient with solving my small problem. I was scheduled quickly, their arrival was promptly in the promised window and price was absolutely fair. Will be my first call when I need a plumber moving forward. Thanks again!

Very timely and professional. Highly recommend Visca and Mike. My sister and I were very lucky to find two good plumbers on short notice. Visca did the initial service call and and explained in detail the issues with our leaking toilet . We agreed a new one was need to replace our very old one and amazingly he was able to arrange his schedule to return within the hour that same day! He and his partner, Mike. made short work of the new toilet installation at my Mom's house and everyone is happy. Thanks!

The guys were pleasant. Had to get gas water heater replaced. They have us cost and could install same day. Thought cost based on search of average cost was a little high but by this time had already been without hot water for couple days. They went and got a heater, came back and replaced it. Good job and overall service.

Highly recommend! Called in the morning with a few plumbing issues & within a few hours arrived to fix them. Visca was very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, & did a great repair job. Even provided us with a one year warranty on the toilet leak repair.

BTG PGH LLC

22:48 06 Jul 18

Taggart Plumbing is competent and knowledgeable. They were not intimidated by a difficult job. They communicated clearly, remained easily accessible, finished the job efficiently, and left the worksite immaculate. To top off their professionalism they are very friendly and patient to answer questions. Their bid was very reasonable compared to others. Thank you, Visca and Brock!

01:06 06 Jul 18

Very thorough inspection before bidding on the job. Crew was knowledgeable and courteous. The guy who did the initial inspection and bid was the same guy who showed up and did the job, so nothing was lost between a sales man and the laborers; I didn't feel like I was being up charged by a middle man. This was a big dig (sewer line repair 12-15' down and main tap replacement) and very messy. The crew was working hard and was sensitive to keeping the work area clean as possible under the conditions. They also were respectful of my lawn plantings, even going to far as to help me dig them out so I could try to replant them later. Very cool. Also respectful of my neighbors, street parking, etc. They did what they said, for the prices they said, and they came in extra time on Saturday to finish cleaning up and do soil grading and lawn replacement - even after the County Inspector signed off and the guys had final payment. That's integrity. Oh and did I mention? They're downright good plumbers.

Christopher Field

16:42 19 Jun 18

I have used Taggart Plumbing two times now. Once during a weekend to replace a broken water heater. The second time to replace a faucet in the basement. Both times, Taggart has been prompt and efficient in their service. I will continue to use them in the future.

Emily W

04:36 12 Jun 18

Always happy with the service I receive from Taggart Plumbing. They are extremely accommodating. Taggart came out immediately and within 48 hours had my A/C replacement completed. Very professional, friendly, and diligent. I am extremely satisfied with the results and always refer them to my colleagues. Taggart is my go-to plumber and HVAC company!

Lynette Veri

02:39 05 Jun 18

Taggert Plumbing has done both small repair jobs and a larger remodeling project for us. They have earned our repeat business by doing great work, being extremely reliable on their scheduling and, being priced fairly. They have also been a great consultant/advisor on plumbing work where there were multiple approaches and have helped us to arrive at the best solution. Thanks Mike and Visca...your professionalism is appreciated.

David Motley

03:12 03 Jun 18

These guys are the best. Hands down. No one ever loves a plumbing problem, but when you do have one, I can't recommend Taggart enough.

Review of Taggart Plumbing LLC

I was able to get same day service for a very leaky faucet after calling 2 other plumbers who were not available. Repair costs were clear before job was started and reasonable. After that I decided to have them replace 2 toilets and 2 days later they returned promptly at the scheduled time to complete that job also. Will definitely call again.
