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

Shut off water, relieve pressure, dry the pipe, then wrap the leak with rubber and a hose clamp, plumber’s epoxy putty, or self-fusing tape. These are short-term fixes. We offer 24/7 emergency service in the Atlanta area and can repair or replace water lines to code. Our fully stocked trucks handle most issues the same day.

Quick steps:

• Open a faucet to drain pressure.
• Dry and clean the pipe.
• Apply rubber + clamp, epoxy putty, or self-fusing tape.
• Call for a permanent repair.
