Sink RepairLeaking drains are common in fundamental sink repair work, yet easily handled. The first thing you'll need to do is find where the leakage is coming from. To do this, let water range from the faucet into the sink. Make sure you have a container placed to catch water. Shine a flashlight onto the pipes, and cover a paper towel around every one to figure out the area of the leak. Next, tighten the couplings in the drainpipe with the leak. If this doesn't fix the problem, attempt cleaning the pipe threads and replacing the gasket. To do this, you'll have to remove the sink basket from the basin, using a wrench to loosen the nuts. Keep the basin in place with a screwdriver or a set of pliers in the crosspiece. Scrub off all the old putty, then insert the new gasket, followed by the sink basket.
