Yes, leaks are one of the most common mechanical failures experienced by residential garbage disposals as they age. Over time, constant motor vibrations, exposure to hard water minerals, degrading rubber gaskets, and wear on the internal shaft seals cause connection points to loosen and seals to fail. Most garbage disposals begin experiencing minor leaks around their 8 to 12 year lifespan, signaling that the unit is reaching the end of its reliable service life. Verification: Inspect under your sink cabinet regularly for water stains or dampness around the disposal housing.
