If your disposal isn’t draining properly or is backing up into the sink, you may have a clog:

Improper use: Putting too much food in at once or using hot water can lead to clogs.
Drain pipe clogs: The issue might be further down in the plumbing system.

Leaky disposals can cause water damage and should be addressed promptly:

Worn seals: The unit may leak from the top, sides, or bottom due to worn O-rings, gaskets, or flanges.
Loose connections: Improper connections with the dishwasher or drain pipe can cause leaks.
Cracked disposal body: In severe cases, the disposal itself may be broken and require replacement.
