Leak From Bottom Of Garbage Disposal

What happens here

From the top of the sink, remove any excess plumber's putty that has squeezed out around the flange. Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker. Place a stopper in the other sink basin and run cold water into the disposal side. Turn on the disposal and check thoroughly underneath for any leaks from the flange or drain connections. If no leaks are present, the job is complete.

Goal: Verify the installation is complete and leak-free

What they say

Hide

in there. Really a tight space. But should be good. We'll remove our thing. Oh, look at that. Pat your channel locks in this fast back right here. You can do a lot of plumbing jobs. Pull the drain. Turn the breaker back on. We'll remove our lockout tag out and turn this disposal on. Oh yeah, that sounds good. Sound just let it run for a while. Let this disposal run. Make sure we got no leaks down here anywhere. All the garbage packed away neatly in this
