Leaky Bathroom Drains

Sink InstallLeaking drains are common in basic sink repair, yet easily dealt with. The first thing you'll have to do is find where the leak is originating from. To do this, let water range from the faucet into the sink. Make certain you have a bucket positioned to capture water. Shine a flashlight onto the pipes, and cover a paper towel around each one to determine the area of the leak. Next, tighten the couplings in the drain with the leakage. If this doesn't solve the problem, attempt cleaning 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 location with a screwdriver or a pair of pliers in the crosspiece. Scrub off all the old putty, then insert the brand-new gasket, followed by the sink basket.
