FAST AND EASY FIX FOR A WATER PIPE LEAK!
What happens here
Begin by identifying the exact location of the pinhole leak in the galvanized pipe. The video shows a leak in a pipe connected to an expansion tank, actively streaming water. To prepare for the repair, locate and shut off the main water supply valve to the affected area or the entire house. After shutting off the main supply, open a nearby faucet (or multiple faucets) to drain the water from the pipes, which will stop the leak and relieve pressure in the system, making it safe to work on.
Goal: Locate the pinhole leak in the pipe and shut off the main water supply to stop the water flow and prepare for the repair.
