Sink InstallLeaking drains are common in standard sink repair work, yet quickly handled. The first thing you'll need to do is find where the leak is originating from. To do this, let water range from the faucet into the sink. Make certain you have a container placed to catch water. Shine a flashlight onto the pipelines, and cover a paper towel around every one to determine the place of the leak. Next, tighten the couplings in the drain with the leakage.
