To stop a running sink, you need to turn off the water supply. Here's how:
1. Locate the Sink's Water Supply Valve
- Under the Sink: Most sinks have a shut-off valve located underneath the sink. It's usually a small, round handle or lever.
- On the Wall: Sometimes, the valve is mounted on the wall behind the sink.
2. Turn the Valve
- Handle: Turn the handle clockwise until it stops. This will close the valve and stop the water flow.
- Lever: Push the lever down to shut off the water.
3. Check for Leaks
Once you've turned off the valve, check for any leaks. If water is still coming out, you may need to tighten the valve or replace it.
4. Turn on the Faucet
After you've stopped the water, turn on the faucet to clear any remaining water in the pipes. This will help you confirm that the water is completely off.
Note: If you're unable to stop the water flow, you may have a broken pipe or other plumbing issue. In this case, it's best to call a plumber for assistance.
