Step 7 · Turn on Water and Check for Leaks

Slowly turn both water shutoff valves counter-clockwise to turn the water back on. Use your flashlight to carefully inspect every connection point: where the supply lines meet the shutoff valves, and where they connect to the faucet tailpieces. Also check the base of the faucet on top of the sink for any water seepage. Place a dry paper towel under the connections to make tiny drips more visible. If all is dry, turn the faucet handles on, test both hot and cold water flow, and operate the side sprayer. Perform one final check for leaks while the water is running.
