The basin is an indispensable sanitary fixture in the bathroom. In daily life, we may overlook its importance, but once the basin clogs or leaks, we quickly realize how chaotic life can become. There are generally three types of basin leakage: first, the basin itself is damaged; second, the basin drainer is clogged; and third, the basin drain pipe leaks. The first two mainly involve dealing with clogs, while the last requires finding a solution for a leaking basin drain pipe.

There is no need to panic when the basin drain pipe leaks. Turn off the faucet first, and then take a look at the solutions below.

Following home decoration guidelines, take out the basin drain pipe and remove the fixing piece and flange below the drain pipe.
When installing the basin drain, pay attention to lifting the basin countertop, removing the flange of the drain pipe, and fastening the flange of the drain pipe tightly onto the basin surface.
After tightening the flange, place the basin on the countertop and align the drain opening with the outlet on the countertop.
Apply glass glue to the contact surface between the drain pipe and the basin drain opening. Make sure it is applied evenly and fits completely to prevent leakage.
Align the drain pipe with the drain opening and place it in smoothly. Note that when installing the basin drain, the drainer fixing device must be taken out and screwed onto the drainer, and then tighten the drain fixing device firmly with a wrench.
After the basin drain installation is completed, wait 24 hours until the glass glue is completely dry before testing it. Fill the basin with water and check whether the drain pipe leaks.
