How Can I Fix a Leaking Pipe Without Replacing It?

You can often stop a small leak without replacing the pipe by using epoxy putty or a pipe repair clamp. These are temporary fixes that buy time until a full repair. In Prescott homes, this works well for pinholes or seeping joints.

Quick steps:

• Shut off water at the fixture or main.
• Drain the line and dry the pipe.
• Clean to bare material.
• Apply epoxy putty over the leak, or install a repair clamp centered on it.
• For threaded joints, wrap PTFE tape and re-tighten.
• Restore water and check for drips.
