A garbage disposal leaking from bottom is a common but serious issue that can lead to water damage, mold growth, and even electrical hazards if ignored. At Restoration Xperts, we help homeowners and businesses tackle plumbing emergencies—including leaks from under the garbage disposal—before they cause costly damage.

Why Is Your Garbage Disposal Leaking from the Bottom?

If you notice water pooling under your sink, the leak could be coming from:
✔ Worn-out seals or gaskets (most common cause of a garbage disposal leaking from bottom)
✔ Cracked housing (due to age or corrosion)
✔ Loose connections (drain pipe or mounting assembly)
✔ Internal damage (from overuse or foreign objects)

Ignoring a garbage disposal leaking from bottom can lead to:

💧 Water damage under sinks & cabinets
🦠 Mold & mildew growth from trapped moisture
🔌 Electrical risks if wiring gets wet

How to Fix a Garbage Disposal Leaking from Bottom

1. Turn Off Power & Water Supply

Safety first! Unplug the disposal or shut off the circuit breaker before inspecting.

2. Identify the Leak Source

Check the sink flange & mounting ring (tighten if loose).
Inspect the drain pipe connections (re-seal with plumber’s putty if needed).
Look for cracks in the disposal unit (if damaged, replacement may be necessary).
