Introduction
Passez à l'étape 1 ↓Water damage is one of the most difficult disasters to deal with. A leaking sink can flood your cabinets, create mold, and cause thousands of dollars of damage. I have prepared a relatively simple and inexpensive fix to repair a leaking garbage disposal without the hassle of calling a plumber and spending a larger amount of money. This fix requires a screwdriver, a hammer or chisel, and Plumber's Putty.
