Susie recently installed a new faucet but it has a drain leak.   She’d like to figure out how to stop this leak without calling a plumber.   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.   Also, if the slip nut is cross threaded then the P-trap will leak no matter what.   I actually have a great tutorial over on Home Repair Tutor that I forget to mention in the show   http://www.homerepairtutor.com/how-to-replace-a-bathroom-faucet/   The video walks you through this installation step-by-step and has tons of details.     Here’s the link to join our private Facebook group    https://www.facebook.com/groups/hrtcommunity/       Today’s Quick Tip is about Hydro Ban.   Hydro Ban is a great way to waterproof shower surrounds.   You can brush Hydro Ban onto cement board and create a waterproof shower before tiling.   Check it out over on Laticrete’s website   http://www.laticrete.com/de
