What Is the Best Way to Seal a Leaking Pipe Temporarily?

Shut off the water, then use a pipe repair clamp or epoxy putty rated for wet repairs to slow the leak until a plumber arrives. Rubber wrap with hose clamps can help for small pinholes, but it’s only temporary. In Dayton, our 24/7 emergency team can stabilize burst or frozen lines fast with fully stocked trucks and upfront pricing.

• Turn off the main valve.
• Open nearby faucets to relieve pressure.
• Dry the pipe if possible.
• Apply the clamp or putty per directions.
• Keep away from electricity near standing water.
