To discover a leak at home can be a huge hassle. It gets your things wet, wastes water, and creates inconveniences. Not only that, but if it’s been going on for a while, it can cause some serious damage in your house’s structure!

Luckily, ProRestore DKI in Grimes has a simple guideline on how to do a temporary restoration. This way, you can repair the faulty pipe while you wait for a professional team to take care of it completely.

How to Temporarily Fix a Leaking Pipe

Act Fast

The moment you notice the leak, you should get a bucket or other container. Place it directly under the water spill to keep it from potentially ruining your floor, furniture, etc.

Shut It Down

Then, identify the exact origin of the leak. Once you have it, make sure to avoid wasting water by, if possible, cutting off the supply for the leaky pipe until you get it fixed.

Deal with the Spillage

As you know, damp areas are a magnet to mold growth. To prevent your home from being infested, be certain to dry the wetness completely as soon as you can.

Do a Temporary Fix

Now, for the fixing! You just need to clean up the pipe, dry it well and place a generous amount of epoxy putty over it. Let it sit for a while before opening the valve again.

When we were looking for a remediation company to assist with replacing our HVAC due to mold, we had 3 different companies come over and we could easily tell that ProRestore was the only one of the 3 with true knowledge of dealing with mold. Their representative took all of our concerns and questions seriously and explained our options clearly. Fast forward to the day the HVAC replacement was scheduled to be done... The HVAC company failed to show up, but ProRestore still took care of a piece of the work that needed to be done ASAP while we looked for a new HVAC company. We continued to be very happy working with them throughout the remainder of the HVAC replacement process.
