Plumbing Tip #2: Fixing Minor Leaking Pipes

Once you have identified where the leak is coming from, you can stop the leak by either replacing the section that is leaking or covering the affected area with a rubber sheet. If you are not comfortable with replacing the pipe yourself, the easier approach is to wrap the leaking area tightly with a rubber sheet. However, please take note that this approach works well only for minor leaks.

The first step is to measure the diameter of the leaking pipe. Once you have the measurements, go to a hardware store and purchase a rubber sheet and a clamp that fits your pipe. Then, switch off your main water supply and wrap the solid rubber sheet round the area that is leaking. After that, fit the clamp round the pipe and screw it in tightly over the rubber sheet. This will stop most minor leaks.
