Sink Installation ServicesLeaking drains are common in standard sink repair, yet easily handled. The first thing you'll have to do is discover where the leakage is originating from. To do this, let water run from the faucet into the sink. Make sure you have a pail positioned to capture water. Shine a flashlight onto the pipelines, and wrap a paper towel around every one to identify the area of the leakage. Next, tighten up the couplings in the drain with the leakage.
