How Can I Fix a Leaking Pipe Without Replacing It?

You can often stop a small pipe leak without replacing the pipe. Shut off water, dry the pipe, and use a repair clamp, epoxy putty, or self-fusing silicone tape to create a temporary seal. A plumber should inspect soon. For large or burst leaks, shut the main.

  • Clean and dry thoroughly.
  • Apply tape/putty or clamp.
  • Restore water and check.
