Leaky Bathroom Drains

Sink InstallDripping drains prevail in standard sink repair, yet quickly dealt with. The first thing you'll need 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 pail positioned to catch water. Shine a flashlight onto the pipes, and cover a paper towel around every one to identify the location of the leakage. Next, tighten up the couplings in the drainpipe with the leakage.
