What should I do if my garbage disposal is leaking from the bottom?

If water drips from the bottom of the disposal, stop using it and schedule an inspection. In many cases, a bottom leak points to an internal seal or housing failure that calls for replacement. We handle garbage disposal repair and installation with upfront estimates and, when possible, same-day service.

Quick checks:

• Cut power at the switch or breaker.
• Run cold water briefly to confirm the leak source.
• Check the sink flange and hose clamps for upper leaks.
• Avoid harsh chemical drain cleaners.
