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

Use a pipe repair clamp or epoxy putty on a clean, dry pipe for the most reliable temporary seal. Shut off the main water supply first, then open a faucet to relieve pressure. Dry the pipe. For a pinhole, wrap self‑fusing silicone tape tightly 2–3 inches past the leak. Add a rubber pad and hose clamp for extra hold. For larger splits, use a full‑size repair clamp. These fixes are temporary; schedule a permanent repair. 24/7 help is available in Noblesville and Fishers.
