The Cost of a Leaky Pipe Repair

The do-it-yourselfers are changing the way some businesses are done. Many people prefer to do some jobs on their own nowadays because they believe they are saving an extra buck or two. When it comes to plumbing, however, that is no place for a DIY project.

If you have never had any plumbing training, chances are you can’t figure out what is wrong with your plumbing system, especially if you tried to learn how on YouTube or Google. Plumbing is a complicated trade that requires years of training and hands-on experience to really master.

If you try to fix a plumbing problem on your own, you just might end up paying more in further repairs than if you just called a plumber. Continue reading below to learn more about health risks involved with fixing plumbing without a professional and what type of services a professional can perform to have you up and running again in no time.

Fixing a Pipe With Sealant and Repair Tape

To put it simply, plumbing sealant and repair tape is pretty much exactly what they sound like. Plumbing sealant works like glue while the repair tape acts as a strong tape and both will help to fix leaky pipes. In fact, they were best when they are used in combination with one another.

If you are experiencing a leaking pipe and the hole isn’t too big, a plumber may try to fix it with sealant and repair tape. The plumber will first turn off the water supply and dry the intended area. The sealant is placed on the compromised area first, followed by the repair tape. This double layer will serve as a bond. If you are looking for inexpensive repairs, then this is your best bet.
