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

A leak from the bottom usually means the disposal’s internal seal or housing has failed, and replacement is often needed. Stop using the unit and cut power. We repair disposals, fix brackets/leaks, and perform fast replacements with free estimates, including same-day and 24/7 service in Lafayette and West Lafayette.

• Dry the unit and check the sink flange and side hose connections; if only the bottom drips, the internal seal is likely bad.
• Tighten the mounting bracket if loose.
• Do not run the disposal until a technician inspects it.
