Home Improvement - LEAKS - REPAIRING LEAKING PIPES

Repairing Leaking Pipes
If the pipe freezes and cracks for several inches or
more, a new section will be needed. This usually requires
the services of a professional who has tools and
equipment.

Sometimes a small hole develops from freezing or
other reason. These small holes can be repaired
temporarily by wrapping tape tightly around a small leak.


(Vis. 1)

A hose clamp compressing a rubber pad can cure
pinpoint leaks or cracks.

(Vis. 2)

A pipe clamp bolted over a rubber pad seals larger
cracks permanently.
