Leaking pipes are a common occurrence in homes. At one point, you’ll find that your

sink trap is dripping or discover a stagnant

pool of water in your basement.



Don’t panic. You can actually fix the seepage on your own as long as

you have basic plumbing skills and the right tools to address the problem.



But before we share with you several methods on how to resolve the issue, let us first

discuss the common culprits of leakages.



Pipes incur holes or cracks and these things are among the most common causes of

leaks.



Corrosion results from high water acidity level;

temperature change; oxygen as well as the chemical make-up of the water. When your

pipes get rusty, they will sooner or later drip.



Over time, pipe connections may loosen up due to deterioration.



High water pressure is too strong for some

pipes to handle. Just set the water pressure at

moderate levels.



When sticky substances accumulate in your pipes and produce clogs, you

can expect leaks somewhere in your plumbing system.



Improper installation instigates seepages. Make sure that your

pipes are set up correctly and that connections are

tightly secured.



Now let us share with you some tips on how to fix

leaking pipes.

Use clamps to not only get rid of the leak but also

to prevent pipe installations from

collapsing.



Wrap fiberglass tape around the pipe and leave

it there for about 30 minutes. This can be used

effectively on concrete and PVC tubes.



The fastest and easiest way to repair dripping

pipes is through the use of putty epoxy. Just apply it on the affected area and

will stop the dripping.



Follow these tips we shared today and you’ll successfully repair your leaking pipes. Should you need help from professionals, just hire a licensed

Fort Lauderdale plumber.
