What to Expect When You Hire Us
We maintain a 4.9-star rating across more than a thousand reviews. Clients consistently note that our crews arrive on time, explain what they’re doing before they start, and leave the job site clean. Those details matter when someone is working inside your kitchen. We also offer 24/7 emergency plumbing service, so if a disposal failure is flooding your cabinet, we’re available when you need us.
How We Handle a Garbage Disposal Installation
Every installation begins with an honest assessment. We identify what’s actually needed without pushing work that isn’t. Part of that process is matching the right unit to your household: motor horsepower should align with how often the disposal gets used and by how many people, and the unit has to fit your existing sink and cabinet dimensions before anything else matters.
The installation itself involves securing the sink flange and mounting assembly, connecting the drain line to your existing P-trap, and completing the electrical connection. Where dissimilar metals meet, we use dielectric fittings to help reduce corrosion at those joints over time. We stay current with local codes and permitting requirements, so jobs can finish without delays or complications.
Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Disposal
Not every problem requires a new unit, but some patterns point clearly toward replacement rather than repair. Here’s what to watch for:
Frequent jamming or clogging even with soft food waste, which often signals internal wear or a capacity mismatch
Persistent odors that don’t clear after cleaning, pointing to trapped debris or mold inside the unit
Grinding, rattling, or humming without the blades turning, which indicates mechanical wear or a lodged object
Visible leaks under the sink from a worn seal or a connection that can’t be reliably re-sealed
Rust or corrosion on the housing, which signals the unit’s structural integrity is failing
Recurring repairs on an aging unit that are adding up faster than a replacement would cost
If you’re not sure whether repair or replacement makes more sense, we can give you a straight answer based on what we find.
Wells, Septic Systems, & Older Plumbing in Thonotosassa
A large share of Thonotosassa properties rely on private wells and septic systems rather than county utilities, and that matters for garbage disposal installation. A disposal can work alongside a septic system, but how often you run it and how much organic waste goes down the drain affects how frequently the tank needs pumping. We factor that into our advice on unit selection and use.
Older homes in the area can have drain lines that limit how well a new disposal performs, regardless of the unit installed. We tailor our approach to the plumbing we actually find, not a generic checklist. If your drain configuration needs attention before a new unit can perform properly, we’ll tell you upfront.

"Hands down the best plumber in town"
I've had problems as long as I've lived in this house - I've made calls no less than 3 times this year for backups with my plumbing and it turns out a tree root took out my plumbing and the guys from Johnny Doan Plumbing were finally able to find the problem and resolve it. I've had 3 other plumbers out here for this same problem - and none of them were able to fix it properly, so every other month, when I flushed the toilet, it would back up - and never knew why it kept happening. Glad to know there are pros that know what they are doing - hands down the best plumber in town.

I would recommend them, straight up honest at pretty reasonable price. Thanks!

"The most professional plumber that I have dealt with"
My water heater wasn’t producing enough hot water. I was considering getting a tankless electrical water heater.
They came out and examined my heater. He determined that it had been installed incorrectly. I thought I needed a new heater but I didn’t. It was a very simple fix and he saved me a lot of headache and money. This is the most professional plumber that I have dealt with and I highly recommend this company.

"High level of knowledge in plumbing"
We had our kitchen remodeled by Home Depot and they subcontracted to Johnny Doan Plumbing and they did such a good job with the plumbing work that we called them back to provide a quote on several plumbing projects around our 1979 built house. When the guy came out to review the work to be performed, he was very professional and quickly provided a fair estimate on the same day. The guys that came out to do the work called ahead to let us know they were coming and they were both professional and courteous. The work they performed was high quality and showed their high level of knowledge in plumbing. I have to call out Tucker, Austin, and Kyle for the great work they did for us. I would highly recommend Johnny Doan Plumbing.

"He truly cares about his work and his customers"
Jimmy came out to check out my water heater. He explained everything very thoroughly and clearly so that I could understand. This is a very professional company. They sent a professional to come and fix my issue for a very good price. The other companies didn’t even know what the issue was. I had spoken to 4 other plumbers before him and I highly recommend working with Johnny Doan Plumbing. He truly cares about his work and his customers.

"I had a lot of work for them to do and they did it all perfectly"
These guys did a great job. I had a lot of work for them to do and they did it all perfectly. They cleaned up all their debris and trash and took it away, too. Will definitely hire them again.
