What should I do if my garbage disposal is leaking from the bottom?
If water is leaking from the bottom of the disposal, stop using it and have a pro inspect it. Bottom leaks often mean an internal failure that may need repair or full replacement. Green Air Care repairs leaks, unclogs units, and installs new disposals when fixes aren’t cost‑effective. We serve Glenview and the Chicago suburbs with licensed, certified plumbers.
Quick steps:
- Turn off the switch and unplug or cut power at the breaker.
- Place a pan under the unit and avoid running water.
- Don’t open the housing; call a technician.
