Leaky Bathroom Drains

Sink Repair ServicesDripping drains are common in basic sink repair, yet easily dealt with. The first thing you'll need to do is find where the leak is coming from. To do this, let water range from the faucet into the sink. Make certain you have a container positioned to capture water. Shine a flashlight onto the pipes, and wrap a paper towel around each one to figure out the location of the leak. Next, tighten the couplings in the drain with the leak. If this doesn't resolve the issue, attempt cleaning the pipe threads and changing the gasket. To do this, you'll have to separate the sink basket from the basin, utilizing a wrench to loosen the nuts. Keep the basin in place with a screwdriver or a pair of pliers in the crosspiece.
