Sink Installation ServicesLeaking drains prevail in basic sink repair, yet quickly dealt with. The first thing you'll need to do is discover where the leakage is originating from. To do this, let water range from the faucet into the sink. Ensure you have a container placed to capture water. Shine a flashlight onto the pipelines, and wrap a paper towel around each one to determine the area of the leakage. Next, tighten up the couplings in the drain with the leak.

Keep the basin in place with a screwdriver or a set of pliers in the crosspiece. Scrub off all of the old putty, then place the brand-new gasket, followed by the sink basket.

Otherwise, soak the stopper in the cleaning service, reassemble the pivot rod and clevis, and test to see if it's working.
