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

If water drips from the bottom of your disposal, turn off power and stop using it. A licensed tech should diagnose and repair. We check the sink flange and the drain elbow for leaks, then replace putty/gaskets or damaged drain parts as needed. Expect clear, upfront pricing and same-day help in Bellingham and Franklin. Repairs and installs include a 2-year warranty, or 4 years for Club Members.

• Switch off the disposal and the breaker.
• Never reach in; use pliers if you see debris.
• Catch water with a pan and avoid running the sink.
