Sink RepairLeaky drains prevail in standard sink repair, yet easily dealt with. The first thing you'll have to do is find where the leak is coming from. To do this, let water run from the faucet into the sink. Make certain you have a bucket positioned to capture water. Shine a flashlight onto the pipelines, and wrap a paper towel around every one to figure out the location of the leak. Next, tighten up the couplings in the drainpipe with the leakage. If this does not solve the problem, attempt cleaning the pipe threads and replacing the gasket. To do this, you'll need to remove the sink basket from the basin, using a wrench to loosen the nuts. Keep the basin in place with a screwdriver or a set of pliers in the crosspiece. Scrub off all of the old putty, then insert the new gasket, followed by the sink basket.
