OT water pipe

Thought this thread was about something completely different. I'll see myself out.

You can buy a pipe repair clamp. It's a metal thing with screws in each side. He best thing to do is shut your main water supply off, cut out the bad section of pipe, and replace it. PVC pipe, right? There is PVC for cold and cpvc for hot. Two couplings is all you should need. Just be sure you get the right kind of pipe and the right size.

Copper

With copper, that repair clamp will work. If you want to try to fix it yourself, get some copper tubing cutters, and a section of pipe. You'll need to cut out the section with the pin hole, measure the length of new pipe you need, and connect it with two shark bite couplings (one on each end). You'll be looking at $30 if you repair it yourself. Who knows how much of you hire a plumber. The repair clamp might work, but you're better off fixing it

Cut and put a coupling on it. That's fixed right compared to a wrap, unless pipe is trashed. If so, replace bad joints of pipe. Super easy and a child could do it.

an even cheaper option would be to get standard copper fittings and then use copper glue.

Though I would trust the shark bites more. The real correct repair is the cheapest, but you need to know how to solder.

And have the equipment to do it. Copper glue? No plumber, but still interested.
You looking for more work in NOLA? I know someone, etc.......

If the pressure were too high it would be coming out the vent on the water heater.

There are plenty of halfway decent ways to rig the pipe until a plumber comes, just don't spray it with anything unless you want a lot of the pipe to be replaced.




copper glue

Cool, I'd have to test it under a house before using it in the attic.
