FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal’s seal is leaking?
Typical indicators include water collecting under the sink, damp or swollen cabinetry, moldy smells, rust on the disposal’s exterior, and visible drips where the disposal connects to the sink flange or dishwasher hose. If you notice any of these, turn off the unit and call for service.
Why do garbage disposal seals leak in the first place?
Seals break down from age, vibration, chemical drain cleaners, food acids, or improper installation. Worn rubber gaskets, loose mounting assemblies, and cracked splash guards are frequent culprits. Hard water in Philadelphia can also accelerate gasket deterioration.
Is it safe to keep using my garbage disposal if the seal is leaking?
No. Continued use can worsen the leak, short-out the motor, damage cabinetry, foster mold growth, and even cause electrical hazards. Shut off power at the breaker, avoid running water in that sink bowl, and schedule prompt repair.
What should I do before your plumber arrives to fix the leak?
Clear out items stored under the sink, wipe up excess water, and place a small bucket or towel to catch drips. If possible, disconnect power at the disposal’s wall switch or breaker. Have your dishwasher cycle paused if it shares the disposal drain.
How will your technician repair a leaking garbage disposal seal?
We start with a full inspection to pinpoint the failure. Solutions may include tightening the mounting ring, replacing worn sink flange putty, installing new upper, lower, or dishwasher inlet gaskets, or—in cases of cracked housings—replacing the entire disposal. All seals are water-tested before we leave.
