What happens here

Carefully position the piece of old hose directly over the pinhole leak on the galvanized pipe, ensuring it completely covers the damaged area. Next, place the worm clamp around the pipe, making sure the clamp's band is centered over the hose patch and, crucially, directly over the pinhole itself. Use a screwdriver to tighten the worm clamp. If available, a screw gun can expedite this process, but a hand screwdriver works perfectly. Tighten the clamp firmly until the hose is compressed against the pipe, creating a tight seal around the leak.

Goal: Seal the pinhole leak using the hose and clamp

Tools and materials

  • Hose Clamp — Securely holding the rubber hose patch in place over the leak
  • Old Piece of Hose — Acting as a rubber patch over the pinhole leak
  • Screw Gun — Rapidly tightening the hose clamp
  • Screwdriver — Tightening the hose clamp

What they say

Hide

We'll get this drained out. We need an old piece of hose and a hose clamp, a worm clamp, right? One little piece of that. We'll grab our worm clamp. You just wanna make sure that you have the clamp right over that little hole. You had a screw gun. This would go a little bit faster, but it's gonna be good to go. And this is a very quality temporary fix. So now we're able to go ahead, reach back here. We're gonna turn the hot water back on.
