Can I Fix a Leaking Pipe Joint Without Replacing It Myself?
Yes, you can sometimes stop a small drip at a threaded or compression joint by shutting water off, drying the area, and carefully tightening or re-sealing. Push-fit, soldered, or underground joints usually need a plumber. Hidden leaks are best found with advanced leak detection and video camera inspection. If the joint keeps seeping, shut the main valve and call. Hearn serves North Madison and surrounding areas. We’re available 24/7 for emergencies.
