Leaky Bathroom Drains

Sink Repair ServicesLeaking drains are common in standard sink repair work, yet easily dealt with. The first thing you'll need to do is discover where the leak is coming from. To do this, let water run from the faucet into the sink. Make sure you have a pail positioned 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 drain with the leak. If this does not fix the problem, attempt cleaning the pipe threads and changing the gasket. To do this, you'll have to detach the sink basket from the basin, using a wrench to loosen the nuts. Keep the basin in location with a screwdriver or a set of pliers in the crosspiece. Scrub off all the old putty, then place the new gasket, followed by the sink basket.
