How Plumbers Repair Leaky Pipes
When you have a leaky pipe, you need to call a plumber at the first signs of an issue.
Professionals can use a variety of methods to repair the leak, including:
- Use epoxy putty: This substance works as an adhesive and hardens at room temperature. A plumber may place it over the leak to seal it. This might only work as a temporary solution, so technicians will be cautious when using this option.
- Apply tape: Another easy solution is to apply a special pipe repair tape to the area that’s leaking. However, like epoxy putty, in some situations, it might only work as a temporary fix.
- Patch the pipe: For minor leaks, plumbers might apply a patch over the broken part of the pipe.
- Replace the pipe: For a permanent fix to a leaky pipe, plumbers will replace the section of the pipe that is broken.

How Often Should You Have Drain Cleaning Services Performed?
Drain cleaning services can ensure your pipes are cleared of clogs and blockages. It’s essential to have these services performed frequently to prevent blocked drains. During these services, experts can remove clogs, eliminate buildups, and detect other issues with your plumbing system to prevent larger problems from forming later.
Our plumbers at Rooter 66 Plumbing Sewer and Drain Cleaning recommend having your drains professionally cleaned about once a year. If you encounter blockages, you should schedule services more frequently with a drain cleaning company.
