A garbage disposal that hums, leaks, or quits makes the whole kitchen sink unusable. Hugo Plumbing services disposals across the Houston area — clearing jams, fixing leaks, and installing new units — with the price quoted up front.

## Disposal Problems We Fix

- **Jammed or humming units** — cleared safely, with the motor checked afterward.
- **Dead disposals** — tripped resets, failed switches, wiring, or a burned-out motor.
- **Leaks** — sink-flange putty, dishwasher inlet, discharge tube, or a cracked housing.
- **Slow drains on the disposal side** — clogs in the drain tee, trap, or branch line.

## Installation and Replacement

When a disposal is beyond repair we install a new unit sized for your household — quieter, more powerful, and with the anti-jam features older models lack. We replace the mounting assembly and drain connections as needed so nothing leaks under the cabinet. Our "Any Replacement" coupon applies.

## When the Problem Is the Drain, Not the Disposal

If the sink backs up on both sides or the disposal drains into standing water, the clog is downstream in the kitchen drain line. That's a job for our [drain cleaning](/services/drain-cleaning) team, and we'll tell you honestly which one you're dealing with.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### My disposal hums but doesn't grind — what's wrong?

The flywheel is jammed, usually by a bone, fruit pit, utensil, or fibrous scraps. Turn it off, never put your hand inside, and call us. We clear the jam safely and check the motor. If the unit trips its reset repeatedly afterward, the motor is failing and replacement is the better choice.

### Is it worth repairing a garbage disposal?

Simple fixes — a jam, a tripped reset, a loose drain connection, or a worn sink-flange seal — are worth repairing. If the motor is burned out or the housing is leaking from the bottom, the unit is done; disposals aren't rebuilt economically, and a new one typically installs in under an hour.

### What should never go down a disposal?

Grease and oil, fibrous vegetables like celery and corn husks, coffee grounds, eggshells, pasta and rice that swell, bones, and fruit pits. These are the most common causes of the jams and clogged kitchen drains we see across Houston.
