My first plumbing project, what happened. I installed a new faucet on my bathroom sink. When I was done I turned on the water to check for leaks. A tiny leak so I asked mu hubby to tighten for me. Now when I turn on the water the sink drains very slowly. To slow to make sink useful. What should I do.
I have already taken the whole thing apart and reassembled it with no luck. :wall:

ambern67, Welcome to the DIY Forums.
The faucet should have nothing to do with the drain. UNLESS, it has a pop-up drain rod. You have to adjust the linkage under the sink that pulls/pushes the stopper up and down. These usually have friction clips that you squeeze to move. Push the rod coming out of the drain line down. Then squeeze the clip on the rod going up to the handle for the stopper. Make sure the handle is down as far as you want it and then let the clip go to hold the rod in that position. Good luck.
