How Can I Seal a Leaking Pipe Without Replacing It?

You can make a short-term seal with epoxy putty or a pipe repair clamp. These are temporary fixes to stop drips until a plumber repairs or replaces the section. Summers offers 24/7 emergency plumbing and same-day service in Elkhart, South Bend, and Mishawaka.

Quick steps:

• Shut off the water and relieve pressure at a faucet.
• Dry and clean the pipe.
• For pinholes: knead epoxy putty and wrap fully around the leak.
• For cracks: pad with rubber and secure with 2 hose clamps, or use a repair clamp.
• Call for larger, frozen, or main-line leaks.
