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

If your garbage disposal is leaking from the bottom, the internal seal or housing has likely failed and the unit often needs replacement. Stop using it to prevent water damage. Our Dayton-area plumbers handle same-day repairs or replacements, and we’re available 24/7. We can also clear related drain clogs and perform camera inspections. Technicians are licensed and background-checked. Exact pricing depends on inspection. A one-year warranty may apply to installed drain-related parts and services.

Quick steps:

• Turn off the switch and unplug the unit.
• Place a pan under it; avoid running water.
• Do not reach inside.
• Book service so a tech can confirm repair vs replacement.
