MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Plumbing leaks, just like
many other household problems, tend to happen at the most
inopportune moments, such as when you have a house full of guests
or are hosting a dinner party. The good news for homeowners is that
most problems originate at the fittings and can be temporarily
fixed until professional help can arrive.
To help homeowners fix a leaky pipe fast, ARS/Rescue Rooter®, a
privately held, nationwide provider of air conditioning, heating
and plumbing, has created a few simple-to-follow tips designed keep
homes running smoothly. To fix leaking pipes, the company
suggests:
- Wrapping leaky fittings with fiberglass repair tape. To
use the tape, start at the outside of the fitting and continue
wrapping until the pipe has been wrapped one inch past the other
side of the fitting.
- Applying plumber's putty around the loose fitting. This will
solidify the seal and prevent further leaks.
Both of these items are inexpensive and can be found at most
local hardware stores.
To ensure homeowners have the tools they need to take care of
leaking pipes until a professional plumber can arrive, the company
suggests keeping fiberglass repair tape and plumber's putty on
hand. For additional information about fixing plumbing leaks or to
