You can use epoxy putty or pipe repair tape for a small, slow leak as a temporary patch, but it won’t replace a proper pipe repair. Most failures happen because the pipe isn’t fully cleaned and dried, or because pressure and temperature swings break the seal. A licensed plumber can trace the true source, including hidden or slab leaks, and fix the pipe rather than just the drip. We also offer rapid emergency leak help with minimally invasive leak locating, and our crew regularly serves homes throughout the Scottsdale area.
Call a pro quickly if you notice:
- A spray, crack, or recurring drip after the patch cures
- Warm floor spots, running-water sounds, or high water bills (possible slab leak)
- Wet ceilings, buckling floors, or stained walls
- A drain or sewer line leak, especially with odors or backups
Turn off water at the nearest shutoff or the main before attempting any temporary patch.
