Leaky Bathroom Drains

Sink InstallationDripping drains are common in standard sink repair, yet easily dealt with. The first thing you'll have to do is discover where the leakage is coming from. To do this, let water run from the faucet into the sink. Make sure you have a bucket positioned to capture water. Shine a flashlight onto the pipes, and cover a paper towel around every one to identify the location of the leak. Next, tighten up the couplings in the drain with the leakage. If this doesn't solve the problem, attempt cleaning up the pipeline threads and replacing the gasket. To do this, you'll need to detach the sink basket from the basin, utilizing 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 place the brand-new gasket, followed by the sink basket.
