Can I Fix a Leaking Pipe Joint Without Replacing It Myself?
Yes, minor pipe-joint leaks can sometimes be slowed temporarily without replacing parts. Permanent repair usually means replacing the worn fitting or seal. In Avondale and Phoenix, our plumbers use minimally invasive leak detection and can often respond the same day or within 24 hours.
Quick checks:
- Shut off water and relieve pressure.
- Dry the joint; snug a compression nut.
- For threaded joints, add PTFE tape; for small pinholes, use epoxy putty.
- Watch for drips; call if it persists or is under a slab.
