Sink RepairDripping drains are common in standard sink repair, yet quickly handled. The very first thing you'll have to do is find where the leak 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 wrap a paper towel around every one to identify the location of the leakage. Next, tighten the couplings in the drainpipe with the leak. If this does not solve the problem, try cleaning the pipeline threads and changing the gasket. To do this, you'll need to separate the sink basket from the basin, using a wrench to loosen up the nuts. Keep the basin in location with a screwdriver or a set of pliers in the crosspiece.
