Step 2 · Inspect for Damage and Leaks

Carefully inspect the garbage disposal for visible cracks or damage to the housing. If the housing is cracked, replacement is necessary. If the leak originates from a seam, try tightening the mounting bolts. If the leak persists, apply a bead of plumber's putty around the problematic area, ensuring a good seal.
