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.

There are several methods you can use to stop a leak till plumbing help arrives. Use epoxy paste to stop the leak, or buy a patch kit from your local hardware store. You can also use a water proof tape wrapping around the leak to temporarily fix the leak. Special compound sticks that have to be rubbed over the hole to stop the leak can work on small leak problems.
