Start by loosening the pipe at the connector. Since you’re working with limited space, you’ll need to use the smallest saw to cut the pipe away from the fitting.
If a PVC pipe is damaged beyond repair, it will need to be replaced. Examine the connection for any sort of leaking once you’ve fastened the fitting. Next, as much as possible, tighten the female fitting to the right. To protect the fitting from shifting, make sure to grasp it tightly. Tighten the male fitting first by twisting it to the right, then tighten the female fitting. If the water is coming from a loose connection, tighten the connection with your wrench or screwdriver. Ensure that any Loose Fittings are Tightened Before applying the sealant, make sure it is clean and that it has had time to dry. Remove the fitting connection and apply epoxy to the cracked region if the pipe has a crack at the fitting. You’ll have to replace the fitting if it’s twisted or damaged. Pipe connections are mostly the areas from where the leakage is seen. After that, add epoxy glue to the damaged area and allow it to cure for 10 to 15 minutes 4.
Once the epoxy has dried, remove it and mix it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Make sure to wipe the sealant off thoroughly after application to ensure proper adhesion. Use your degreaser and cleaning cloth or a house cleaner to clean the region of the pipe that leaks. If you’re working in a tight space, wear knee protectors to stay protected from harm. Place a small basin beneath the leak spot if space allows avoiding spilling of water around. Turn the valve a quarter turn to the right until the water turns off. Make sure the water is shut off in the area where you’ll be working on the pipe.
