How to Fix a Burst Water Pipe |
It helps to have a pipe clamp on hand, just in case a pipe bursts'especially if you live in a climate where pipes are likely to freeze. You can buy these quick-repair, screw-on devices at any home improvement store.
1) Shut off the valve that controls water flow to the damaged pipe.
2) Apply a pipe clamp. In a pinch, you can make one by wrapping the burst section with a strip of rubber (from an inner tube, for example) and then clamping the wrap with an adjustable hose clamp, a pipe-sleeve clamp, or a C-clamp.
3) Call a plumber if you are unable to replace the damaged section of pipe yourself.
