What to Do if You Have a Broken or Leaking Pipe
Discovering pipes leaking can be stressful but there are solutions to prevent serious damage. Keep in mind that these are only temporary fixes and calling 1-800-Plumber +Air of New Braunfels is still your best bet because they can provide the right solution and finish the job successfully.
Locate the source of the leak
The pressure will lead you to the source of the leak. They can either be found above the ceiling or inside a wall. You'll know there's a leak if you hear water spraying inside your ceiling or wall. The drywall also becomes wet and they can often be found at the joints between your panels. If the water stains the ceiling, the source of the leaks may be above. If there are no obvious signs of leaks above, get a flashlight and check the pipes in your crawlspace or basement.
Shut off the water supply
Look for the valve that controls the water flow to your damaged pipe and shut it off.
Attach a pipe repair clamp
Sleeve clamps are designed to put a stop to leaks for weeks or even months, but you'll need 1-800-Plumber +Air of New Braunfels to provide a permanent fix to the leaky pipes.
Make your own sleeve clamp
If you don't have a pipe repair clamp handy, you can wrap the damaged pipe with a rubber strip and clamp the wrap with C-clamp, adjustable hose clamp, or a pipe-sleeve clamp.
Apply epoxy putty for leaks near a joint
A sleeve clamp might not stop leaks around the joint, so you have to apply epoxy putty to seal the leak. When applying putty, be sure to turn off the valve first.
