What happens here

Begin by loosening and removing the retaining nuts and connections from the underside of the old faucet. The video shows the existing faucet was not sealed well, leading to leakage. Once the under-counter components are detached, pull the old faucet out from the top of the countertop.

Goal: Detach and remove the existing faucet from the countertop.

This faucet wasn't sealed that great, luckily that came off. Now we just pull this out. Looks like it's been leaking for a little bit down in there. That cleaned up a little bit. This faucet is not going to seal if it's not on a flat surface. I grabbed the fine multi-mask here. I guess we'll see if we have to cut more. Yeah,

That Fix It GuyAir Force–trained plumber

Brian learned plumbing in the U.S. Air Force and has plumbed his way around the world. Now he films the fixes homeowners actually face: slow toilets, dripping faucets, clogged drains, failing water heaters and disposals. He shows what broke, why it broke, and how to fix it for a fraction of the cost of replacing it. He's particular about the right part, too: no snappy traps, no chemical drain cleaners. His rule: if he can do it, you can do it.
