What Is the Best Way to Seal a Leaking Pipe Temporarily?

Shut off the water and contain the leak, then use a short-term wrap or clamp only to slow the drip until a plumber repairs the pipe. Open a nearby faucet to relieve pressure. Avoid temporary fixes on active sprays, and never patch gas lines. Bardi provides 24/7 same-day leak detection and pipe repair in Atlanta, Roswell, and Alpharetta.
