Susie recently installed a new faucet but it has a drain leak.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

She\\u2019d like to figure out how to stop this leak without calling a plumber.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

One of my biggest tips is to make sure the extension tube is 1 1/2 inches down in the P-trap and the plastic washer between the P-trap/extension tube is positioned the right way.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Also, if the slip nut is cross threaded then the P-trap will leak no matter what.

\\n

I actually have a great tutorial over on Home Repair Tutor that I forget to mention in the show
