You Could Spend More Fixing a Leaky Pipe Yourself

In the age of DIY projects, many people think their plumbing falls under this category as well. Those that try it find out later that is just isn’t. You may think that you can reduce the bill by doing it yourself, but in reality, you will most likely leave yourself with a larger bill in the end. Jobs that require professional training are better left to the professionals, and plumbing repairs are one of those jobs.

Trying to fix a leaky pipe on your own could mean multiple trips to the parts store and hours of figuring out how to actually fix the problem. You are then left with a lot of wasted time, effort, money, and gas, and chances are, you will still have to call a professional to fix what you thought you could do on your own.

Below is more information on common ways a professional will fix a leaking pipe along with the health risks involved with doing it yourself. Continue reading to learn more.

Repair Tape Will Fix Common Pipe Leaks

Repair tape, when combined with plumbing sealant works wonders for leaky pipes. Repair tape is exactly what it sounds like. It is a tape that is made to work great on pipes. Plumbing sealant is basically pipe glue. Plumbers will use these two things to repair pipes that have small cracks in them. Repair tape and plumbing sealant work great for the small jobs, but if you have a rather larger hole in your pipe, tape and sealant may not be the best option.

Basically, the plumber will start by turning off the water and drying the problem area thoroughly. Then the plumber will wrap the pipe numerous times around with the repair tape. Then he will finish with the plumbing sealant.

You could still end up with a leak and then be stuck with a mess on your hands, having to cut and refit pipes to fix the problem.
