7 Causes of Garbage Disposal Leakages
garbage disposal
1. The first part of the disposal system that you ought to check is the pipe connecting the kitchen sink to the garbage disposal. This is achievable even without having to dismantle the entire unit. Check for cracks or breaks on the PVC pipes that could be causing the leakage.
2. Usually, a standard garbage disposal is linked to the sink by means of a sink flange that is screwed to the bottom of the sink.
3. Several garbage disposals vibrate while in use due to grinding accomplished by its interior blades. Such vibrations can loosen the screws of the flange, resulting in leakages.
4. If the leaks from your garbage disposal appear to originate from the top, even after tightening the loose screws of the flange, then it could be having a putty problem. The putty, a metal clamp used to seal the flange could have rusted, eroded, become worn or weak.
5. The leakage can be originating from the dishwasher connection. The metal screw that supports the dishwater hose pipe to the garbage disposal could be loose. This is a very serious case of leakage that require early attention.
6. The hose pipe where waste travels from the garbage disposal to the sewer can also be the cause of the leak. This pipe could be broken or have smaller cracks that cause water to seep out from the disposal. The bolts that hold the garbage disposal and the discharge pipe could also be loose causing water outflows from the system.
7. There exists a gasket between the blades and the sink of the garbage disposal system. If the gasket is frayed or rather has cracks, then a leakage is the most expected possibility. You can check any impairment of the gasket by simply dismantling the disposal and assessing the quality of the gasket.
