Electrical junction box under the sink gets wet

electricalwet

We just purchased a house and under the kitchen sink there is a metal junction box for the electricity to the disposal switch.

It is on the bottom of the cabinet and it is covered in electrical tape.

It is possible that it can get wet when the sink backs and it is necessary to remove the trap.

It the box location a code violation or just shoddy work?

Under the sink is where it is supposed to be, but without a photo we can't tell if it was done right or not. The real problem however is more likely in your plumbing leaking and getting it wet.
