Grrrrrrrrrr Leaking pipe!

[pau1gray]

Just found out that one of my cemented in pipes are leaking. Does anyone
know of a pipe sealeant that can be used (bear in minds I can't get to
the outside of the pipe). Or does anyone know of a pipe liner that can
be used?

Not that I am aware of...Odds are your gonna have to just suck it up
and bust it out or dig it up and do the repairs......

===================
Contact your local plumber before doing anything drastic. There are new
products out there every day. People who have houses on slabs probably face
the same problem when a pipe leaks.

Yea right , dig up the slab and replace it.. It was a matter of time
before ou just had to reply to something you have no knowledge
on......true to 99.99% of your other posts.

Inside of PVC pipe is certainly far from being uniform, so its
impossible to slip a device inside yet alone get it to where it has
to be and ensure your surface to seal against is dirt / scum
free.....anything placed inside is going to be a potential for buildup
of junk and make a restriction......Now if your systems flow is more
than you need, you may be able to push another pice of pvc pipe
inside the leaking section provided you have a straight shot at it,
but it would be conter to making a good repair which is going to
involve getting to the leak itself and that may entail busting up the
concrete. Yea, people on slabs wind up busting slabs
its part and parcel for having lines buried in or under conrete....

Carol it isn't necessary to reply to every post, especially when you have no
knowledge of the subject. Saying call a plumber is the world's biggest d'uh.

Depending on what that water line feeds, you might be able to thread a hose
down the pipe, just keep in mind a smaller hose drastically reduces the flow
rate. Test and see if the reduced flow rate is acceptable in this
application.

There isn't much you can do, besides cut up the concrete if you want to
repair the pipe. You can either break up that entire section of concrete, or
you can use a concrete saw (looks like a giant circular saw) and cut out a
trench right over the pipe.

The problem with using a concrete saw is that you'll have a seam and the new
concrete will have a slightly different color. But if you're lucky you can
just buy a bag or two of cement and reinforcement bar (iron rods used to
make reinforced concrete) and pour it yourself.

If it's pvc, a hacksaw, a bottle of primer and solvent, 2 unions and a
section of new pipe is all you'll need.
If it's copper pipe, you'll probably need to call a plumber anyway, because
soldering wet copper isn't easy for a novice. They'll either cut out the
cracked section, use 2 unions, and a new section of pipe, or they'll braze
on a larger section of pipe over the crack.

Soldering new copper pipe just takes a bit of practice, soldering old pipe,
that has water inside is a bit trickier.

CArol is what Koi-lo does, fraud, lies and slander.

Carol, aka Koi-lo has been known to impersonate folks, and then take
her typical actions against these so called posters........so in all
reality she is talking to herself and hopes in the process she can
drag unsuspecting individuals into her wacky world and create
problems. I wish I had a dollar for every post she said I made, when
in fact it was her and her sock puppets.......Trust me, when I respond
to her accusatins and bull that she vehemously spews, I do not mind
replying myself, without her help to make it look like I and others
replied to her crap...... duh! as Carol would say......DUH!

You should thank me, I'm doing you a favor. Your postings are truly useless.
a 1 line post "call a plumber" followed by a 10 line signature. I actually
gave the original poster some useful information. Even if we're using the
same fake address, the original poster might think koi-lo has something
useful to say.

Incidentally I don't use any sock puppets to post, because I don't feel the
need for any.

Roy,

Over the past few weeks you have been proving yourself as a great
contibutor to our newsgroups....your knowldege and experience has been
of great value...long may you continue to do this....

Hi Paul,
I don't know what action you have taken on your pipe leak as yet, but the
information about there being all types of new technology to fix these
problems is correct. A lot depends on pipe size, pipe materials,
conditions inside the pipe etc. Some of the new fiber optic systems may
also be useful to locate the exact problem, which could make any required
excation a bit less expensive. The catch is, you pay for the service, to
the extent that it may nullify any savings. It would be worth calling an
up to date plumber, but only if the expense of the conventional method is
cost prohibitive.
I work with a lot of plumbers in my occupation, and they amaze me with the
stuff they can do these days. There is even a system to weld inside pipes
of different alloys using various gases, powdered alloys and techniques.
Almost anything is possible in this day and age. It will likely depend of
the expertise of the plumber, and how deep your pockets are in relation to
the job.
Best of luck in getting the leak fixed. In a worst case scenario, you may
want to have a work party with a few close friends. A few drinks and some
burgers would be far cheaper than what the higher end plumbers may charge!

Respectfully,
--
Kevin

No, your just selective in what you repost for a reference..Pretty
nice to be able to be so selective, when a little looking would reveal
what posts I am referring to, but just the same it does not bother me
one little bit, like it must bother you...Besides keeping you busy
trying to conjure up posts and having to read them all means that many
more little kiddies will be safe on the streets in your area....
