Sink RepairLeaking drains prevail in standard sink repair work, yet easily handled. The first thing you'll have to do is find where the leakage is coming from. To do this, let water range from the faucet into the sink. Ensure you have a pail positioned to capture water. Shine a flashlight onto the pipes, and cover a paper towel around every one to figure out the place of the leak. Next, tighten the couplings in the drain with the leakage. If this does not resolve the problem, attempt cleaning up the pipe threads and replacing the gasket. To do this, you'll have to separate 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 the old putty, then place the new gasket, followed by the sink basket. When this is done, it's merely a matter of tightening up the washer nut, applying sealant, and evaluating the drains when again.
