What Is the Best Way to Seal a Leaking Pipe Temporarily?

Shut off the water, drain the line, and use pipe repair tape, epoxy putty, or a rubber-and-clamp wrap as a temporary seal until a plumber completes a permanent repair. These fixes buy time and help limit water damage in Tucson homes.

Quick steps:

• Turn off the main or fixture valve and relieve pressure at a nearby faucet.
• Dry the pipe.
• Wrap self-fusing tape for pinholes.
• Press epoxy putty over small cracks.
• For active sprays, use rubber and 2 hose clamps.
• Call for 24/7 help to stop damage fast.
