If leaks are not found keep paper in place for a few days. Your disposer would leak water when its sink flange gasket is torn. Garbage disposal leaks can come from different parts of unit. Over time a badger 1 can begin to.

Remove the stopper and if paper gets wet while. The particles are then flushed down the waste water line. Turn the garbage disposal off completely and unplug the unit. Take a bottle of food coloring the brighter the better and place a few drops in the sink of water.

Place a bag a small garbage can or a bucket underneath the sink to collect any leaking water. Turn on the water and garbage disposal and allow them to run while looking again for leaks. Put a stopper on the mouth of the disposal and fill the sink. Remove stopper s and let the sink drain.

If the bottom of the unit is leaking replace the disposal. The device is operated via a wall switch that activates a motorized wheel and grinds up food into small particles. If this is the problem you can just replace the gasket. There was a leak that appeared to be coming from it.

I have a insinkerator badger 1 garbage disposal. If the newspaper gets wet the sink drain is leaking. Turn on the water and fill up the sink a little less than half full. If you would like to help my family.
