Leaky Bathroom Drains

Sink InstallationLeaky drains are common in basic sink repair, yet quickly dealt with. The very first thing you'll need to do is discover where the leakage is originating from. To do this, let water run from the faucet into the sink. Ensure you have a container positioned to capture water. Shine a flashlight onto the pipes, and wrap a paper towel around every one to identify the area of the leakage. Next, tighten the couplings in the drainpipe with the leak. If this doesn't fix the issue, try cleaning the pipe threads and replacing the gasket. To do this, you'll have to detach the sink basket from the basin, utilizing a wrench to loosen up 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 new gasket, followed by the sink basket.
