Step 1 · Shut Off Water Supply & Prepare Work Area

Before beginning any work, locate the hot and cold water shutoff valves, typically found in the cabinet directly beneath the sink. Turn the handles clockwise until they are fully closed. To confirm the water is off, turn the faucet handle to the 'on' position; any remaining water in the line will trickle out, and then the flow should stop completely. Lay a towel in the sink basin to protect the surface and to catch any small parts you might drop. Gather all the tools and supplies you will need for the job to have them within reach.
