Sink Installation ServicesLeaky drains prevail in basic sink repair, yet quickly handled. The very 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 bucket placed to capture water. Shine a flashlight onto the pipes, and cover a paper towel around each one to identify the area of the leak. Next, tighten up the couplings in the drain with the leakage.

Lastly, discover a porcelain touch-up paint that best matches your sink's color and use to the repaired location.

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