At the bottom of the inside of your disposer, there are several gaskets. When one begins to leak, it creates a ripple effect that can cause all of the other gaskets to start leaking over time. The sooner you can get that first gasket fixed, the sooner you can stop the ripple that may become a flood in your kitchen.

The flange is the part of the drain that connects your sink to the garbage disposal. It has a protective seal around it that prevents water from leaking through.

Once water is able to leak through, the seal will need to be replaced.

Typically, the drain line is also tied into the drain line for your kitchen sink. The weakest point in any piping system is where the pipes connect, and in most cases, that is where you'll find the leak. You'll need to replace the leaking section of the waste piping under your kitchen sink.
