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

Turn the disposal off and stop using it. A leak that drips from the bottom usually means the unit needs a professional inspection and likely replacement or resealing. Tri-State Water Power and Air installs and upgrades disposals with careful alignment and connections to help prevent leaks, and we can swap in a new unit if needed.

Quick checks:

• Switch off power at the wall and breaker.
• Put a pan or towel under the unit.
• Do not run water or the disposal.
• Schedule a technician to inspect and replace if required.
