Plumbing Pipe Leak

 Plumbing - Plumbing Pipe Leak Plumbing leaks are a common household plumbing problem. They can range from tiny leaks that may not damage your home in any way, to major extensive leaks that can actually flood your home. Whatever the type of leak, never leave the problem unattended, hoping it will go away. First, determine whether the leak is on the pipe or at the joint. In case of a leak at the joint, simply tightening the joint should help fix the leak. In case of a pipe leak, you may have to replace the section of pipe altogether. Leaky pipes often result from corrosion, and a corroded pipe can begin to leak in other areas when one leak has been patched.

You can also use water proof tape to wrap around the leaky spot, or apply epoxy paste on the hole. These however, are all stop gap solutions that offer only temporary measures to fix a pipe leak. To stop a leak till the plumber arrives, cut about 4" of split rubber hose, and slip around the pipe. Use a wrench to tighten until you can stop the leak.
