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 has failed, so replacement is often the safest fix. Shut off power at the switch or breaker and avoid running water through it. We offer same-day replacement in Denver and nearby cities and carry InSinkErator units on our trucks. We can also install any brand you supply, with transparent pricing. For InSinkErator units we install, we handle warranty service: “If the disposal breaks for any reason during the warranty period, we will repair or replace it for free!”

Quick checks:

• Kill power. Dry the unit.
• Check sink flange and side connections for leaks.
• If the housing drips from the bottom, plan for replacement.
