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

Stop using the disposal and schedule a repair. A bottom leak can worsen fast, and disposal work is hazardous to DIYers. Apollo Plumbing provides on-site diagnosis and repairs with up-front, no-surprise pricing. We also replace disposals when repair isn’t practical. Emergency help is available 24/7. We serve Seattle, Everett, and nearby communities. A-List members get a free disposal operation check (regular price $125) with membership ($9.95/mo).

Quick steps:

• Turn off the switch and avoid putting hands in the unit.
• Place a bowl or towel to catch drips.
• Don’t run water until a tech inspects it.
