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

Shut off the disposal at the switch and breaker, stop running water, and place a pan under it. A leak from the bottom often signals internal failure; a licensed plumber will confirm and recommend repair or replacement. Alpine Plumbing repairs and replaces disposals and offers same-day fixture service in Odessa. If a clog contributed, we can run drain diagnostics and clearing, including video inspection and hydro jetting.

• Cut power at the breaker.
• Avoid using the sink.
• Check visible hose/drain connections for cracks.
• Schedule service.

"He found a leak in our garbage disposal that we had no idea was there, and that had begun rotting out the wood in the cabinets." — Justin D.
