Answers to Common Questions
View All FAQsWhat 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.

Yes, you can install a basic garbage disposal yourself, but leaks, drain alignment, or jams often make a pro the safer choice. Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling installs and repairs disposals, offers free estimates with upfront pricing, and can often provide same-day service. Licensed technicians can also handle related sink and drain issues. For reliability, run plenty of cold water during use, feed only soft foods slowly, and avoid harsh chemical drain cleaners. We’re available 24/7 for urgent clogs in Elkhart and South Bend.
