Sink RepairLeaky drains are common in basic sink repair work, 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. Ensure you have a bucket positioned to catch water. Shine a flashlight onto the pipes, and cover a paper towel around every one to determine the place of the leak. Next, tighten up the couplings in the drainpipe with the leakage. If this does not fix the problem, attempt cleaning up the pipeline threads and changing the gasket. To do this, you'll have to remove the sink basket from the basin, utilizing a wrench to loosen up the nuts. Keep the basin in location with a screwdriver or a set of pliers in the crosspiece.

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