Plumbing leaks/Leaky pipes

PDF Print E-mail

Have you discovered a leak in your plumbing? Leaks are always a serious concern and should be inspected by a licensed plumber immediately.

Aside from racking up your water bill, leaks can spread causing severe damage to your valuable possessions. There are a few temporary ways to reduce the leak's intensity until a certified technician can solve the problem.

1. For small holes and cracks, a special epoxy putty can be used to cover the vulnerable areas.

2. For larger holes and cracks, cut a rubber hose large enough to cover twice the damaged area. Place rubber patch over the leak and fasten using clamps around the piping. 

3. By using a plumbing wrench, make sure all your connections are tight (without overtightening).

4. Turn off the water supply going to the leaky area and position a bucket below to catch the excess water.
