Leaky Bathroom Drains

Sink Repair ServicesLeaky drains are common in standard sink repair, yet easily handled. The very first thing you'll need to do is discover where the leak is originating from. To do this, let water range from the faucet into the sink. Make certain you have a container positioned to catch water. Shine a flashlight onto the pipelines, and wrap a paper towel around each one to identify the area of the leakage. Next, tighten up the couplings in the drain with the leak. If this does not solve the issue, try cleaning up the pipe threads and changing the gasket. To do this, you'll have to separate the sink basket from the basin, using a wrench to loosen up the nuts. Keep the basin in location with a screwdriver or a pair of pliers in the crosspiece. Scrub off all of the old putty, then place the new gasket, followed by the sink basket.
