Why does my Badger garbage disposal leak?
Likely culprit: The sink flange Garbage disposals are connected to your sink with a flange and/or plumber’s putty. This seal can corrode and loosen over time. It can also leak if the garbage disposal is hit hard enough to loosen the seal (most common from doing other general plumbing work under the sink).
How long do disposals last?
Most disposals have a life expectancy of about 10 years, after which they may start clogging more often.
