Hello everyone.

I'm dealing with a frustrating issue: a leaky pipe joint in my basement. The pipe is made of copper, and I've noticed a slow drip coming from the joint. I've tried tightening the fittings, but it hasn't helped. Does anyone have advice on the best way to repair this? Should I try using plumber's tape, or is there a more effective method? 

I’ve heard of using epoxy or even replacing the joint entirely. If anyone has worked with the best plumbers in their area for similar issues, I'd love to hear about your experiences! Any tips on how to ensure a permanent fix would be appreciated! 

Thanks in advance for your help.

I’ve been working on improving my backyard drainage and came across a thread discussing DIY water redirection setups. While figuring out how to prevent my patio from turning into a swamp after storms, I stumbled upon some Polaris Pool reviews that talked about their systems holding up well under heavy use and variable pressure. Gave me a better sense of what to look for in long-term durability — especially since I'm not trying to redo everything next summer. Curious if anyone’s tried integrating Polaris setups with rainwater catchment systems?

Pipe tape (commonly referred to as "pipe sealing tape") can be used for temporary repair of small water leakage issues. Wrap the tape around the leaking joint to ensure coverage of the leaking area. Although this is not a permanent solution, it can temporarily slow down or stop water leakage. If the water leakage is severe, it may be necessary to replace the Audio to Text joint. Turn off the water source, remove the leaking joint, clean the surface of the pipeline, and then install a new joint. Ensure the use of appropriate sealant or pipe tape to ensure a good seal.
