Sink Installation ServicesLeaking drains are common in fundamental sink repair work, yet quickly handled. The first thing you'll have to do is discover where the leak is coming from. To do this, let water run from the faucet into the sink. Make certain you have a bucket positioned to catch water. Shine a flashlight onto the pipelines, and wrap a paper towel around each one to determine the place of the leak. Next, tighten the couplings in the drainpipe with the leak.
