REPAIRING PIPE LEAKS

Instead of a creating homemade patch, you can purchase a pipe clamp repair kit that includes a wide clamp with two semi-circular sides that match the diameter of the pipe you need to mend and a rubber patch. You insert the rubber patch between the pipe and the clamp when the clamp is tightened, the leak stops. The main advantage to the pipe clamp is that it comes in several different sizes and can be used on a wide range of pipe sizes. A pipe clamp fix is more permanent than using a c-clamp or hose clamp; however, however you can't considered it a permanent fix. To stop the leak with a pipe clamp kit, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the water and dry off the pipe in the location of the leak.
2. Place the rubber patch over the split or pinhole in the pipe.
3. Open the clamp and place it over the patch.
Make sure the rubber patch is positioned over the leak.
4. Tighten the clamp to compress the patch and seal off the leak.
5. Turn on the water to test for leaks. Tighten the clamp a bit more if the patch still drips.
Quick fix (or pipe joint leaks)
For a simple leak at a joint, you can use a quick fix, but it will be temporarily at best: applying two-part epoxy putty, sold in hardware stores and home centers, around the leaky joint. Pipe joints pose a special problem because the surface isn't smooth and level the way a pipe is. With galvanized pipe, you have the added problem of rusted steel, which keeps the putty from making a tight bond. If the leak is in a drainpipe, however, where there is little water pressure, this repair method is pretty effective. Before you begin, carefully read the directions on the package of the putty and follow these steps:
1. Turn the water off.
2. Allow the leaky joint to dry thoroughly before you apply epoxy putty.
This may present a challenge if the pipe is in a damp location. You can speed up the drying by heating the fitting with a propane torch, heat gun, or hairdryer. Just warming up the fitting is all that's necessary. Allow it to cool before you apply the epoxy patch.
3. Mix the two-part putty as directed and apply it to the joint.
4. Before the putty sets, wrap the pipe in plastic electrical tape. Plastic electrical tape is available at any hardware store or home center.
5. When the putty is thoroughly dry, turn the water back on.
The repair may or may not work, depending on the intensity of the leak and the pressure in the line. If the repair doesn't work, call a plumber. If you repair a joint leak with epoxy putty, check the spot regularly. Epoxy putty is much more likely to fail over time than a clamp repair that's made in a straight section of pipe.
