What should I do if my garbage disposal is leaking from the bottom?
Turn the disposal off and stop water use immediately. A leak from the bottom usually means a failed internal seal or a cracked housing, which often calls for professional replacement. We service garbage disposals in Crawfordsville and Lafayette with upfront pricing and 24/7 availability.
Quick checks:
- Cut power at the switch/breaker.
- Place a towel or pan to catch drips.
- Inspect the sink flange and hoses to be sure the leak isn’t from above.
- Do not run the unit until a technician inspects it.
