Sink InstallationLeaking drains are common in basic sink repair work, yet quickly dealt with. The very first thing you'll need to do is find where the leakage is coming from. To do this, let water range from the faucet into the sink. Make certain you have a bucket positioned to capture water.

If this doesn't resolve the issue, try cleaning the pipe threads and changing the gasket. To do this, you'll need to separate the sink basket from the basin, utilizing a wrench to loosen up the nuts.
