There is a leak in my upstairs bathroom, but I am not sure if it is coming from the toilet or the sink. The leak has caused damage to the ceiling above my kitchen (downstairs).

Garbage Disposal Plumbing
A garbage disposal typically has a life span of at least a decade. There may be occasional minor problems with your unit, and in the case of major garbage disposal repairs, garbage disposal replacement is often the better option. When it comes to installing a garbage disposal, the procedure itself is fairly straight forward, but does require extensive plumbing, as well as electrical abilities. First, you have to remove the P trap or waste trap, as well as the sink strainer. Now, install the mounting assembly that consists of a flange and a mounting ring. Tighten the assembly, and then connect the power cord. Mount the garbage disposal, and connect the drain lines. If necessary, connect a dishwasher line too after the drain lines have been established. Lock into place, and check to see if the unit is running properly.
To make sure that your garbage disposal unit needs few repairs, never fill the unit above its capacity. Don't pour grease down the unit or shove bones, rubber or other objects that can block the unit. Always run water before and after every use, and run cold water while the unit is in operation. Do not pour household cleaners down the unit. If you have placed something in the garbage disposal like shells, bones or corn husks, pull out with tongs. Don't use your hands to pull the object out. For cleaning your garbage disposal, run a combination of ice cubes and rock salt for 5 seconds through your unit. To deodorize your garbage disposer, grind a lemon through it while you run warm water.
