Suggested reads about PVC Pipe Repair

What do PVC pipe repair services include?

Most homes rely on PVC pipes for outdoor irrigation, drainage systems, and modern plumbing systems. While PVC is favored for its durability compared to cast iron pipes, PVC repairs still require a steady hand. When it comes to a PVC pipe repair, it’s best to call a licensed professional for the job - whether it's an emergency PVC pipe repair or routine maintenance. 

Here’s what you can expect when you book PVC pipe repair services: 

PVC pipe repair using tapes and epoxy

Rubber or silicone repair tape is best used to stop leaks from escalating in emergencies. A licensed plumber uses this because it provides a solid, reliable seal. Instead of sticking to the pipe, it clings to itself. Its elastic properties help with compression to stop water from leaking and flowing fast. 

When it comes to a more targeted fix, plumber can choose to use a repair epoxy to stop leaks from worsening. Epoxy is a liquid or putty that is directly applied to the damaged area of a pipe. As epoxy application can be tricy, it's best to leave the job to the pros. While they're on-site, they can also assess your downpipe installation, help repair your toilet, or check your gutters for any leaks and holes. These may also be sealed off with rubber and silicone tapes.  

PVC pipe repair using fiberglass

Using a fiberglass wrap is a more permanent fix used by plumbers in repairing your broken PVC pipe. A Tasker can use fiberglass cloth covered with water-activated resin to repair broken or leaking spot of the pipe. This requires careful wrapping. It is then left for 10 to 15 minutes for the resin to activate and extend on the pipe. This can also be an option for water tank repairs in case there are leaks. 

PVC pipe repair with clamps

For PVC pipe hole repairs, a licensed plumber might utilize rubber and hose clamps. A rubber clamp is used for smoother PVC pipes. However, this method is not ideal for leaks on the elbows or joints on the PVC pipes. The pro will open the hose clamp fully, wrap the rubber around the pipe, and tighten the clamp to secure the area—preventing a potential pipe burst.
