How Can I Fix a Leaking Pipe Without Replacing It?

You can often stop a small pipe leak without replacing the pipe by making a temporary repair. Turn off water, dry the pipe, then seal the area. For Marion, IN homes, our licensed plumbers can also handle 24/7 frozen or burst pipe emergencies.

Quick fixes:

  • Epoxy putty molded over a pinhole or small crack
  • Self-fusing silicone repair tape wrapped tightly over a joint or hairline crack
  • Rubber patch under two hose clamps for a short split
  • Reseal threaded joints with plumber’s tape
