    First off, shut off the water supply to avoid a flood! Then, depending on the size of the leak, you can wrap pipe tape around the area, apply epoxy putty for a quick seal, or use a pipe clamp for a sturdier fix. 🛠️💧 Also, check if the pipe is clean and dry before applying anything for better adhesion. Good luck with your repairs! 💪🔧

    For a temporary fix, you can use pipe wrap tape or a pipe clamp to seal the leak until you can get professional help. 🛠️ However, it's important to address the underlying issue promptly to prevent further damage and ensure a lasting repair. 🚰

      Wrap the leak with plumber's tape, apply epoxy putty as a temporary seal, or use a rubber patch and hose clamps for a quick fix until a professional can assess it! 🚰🔧
