The drain flange is the visible ring in a sink or tub drain, and a worn one leaks. Here is the Charleston guide.
The flange
The flange sits in the drain opening and seals against the fixture with putty or a gasket.
The leak
Water leaking around the flange means the seal has failed.
The fix
Remove the old flange, clean the opening, and seat a new one with fresh sealant.
The call
A clean, dry drain again. Call 888-217-3585 and Charleston, WV Plumbing Helpers will match you with a Charleston pro.
