I just did this at 8:30pm on a Sunday night and it seems to be working. Thank the Good Lord for your video.

Thanks for watching!

Watched this video and it resolved the pin hole leak no problem!! Thank you so much for posting this idea!

Good video. Short, to the point, and well edited

Thanks so much for posting this, Danny. I woke up this Christmas morning to a partially flooded basement and a very active pinhole leak. Dreading the possibility of a holiday callout by my local plumber, I saw this video and -- voilà -- my immediate plumbing emergency is over!

Thats amazing! hehe same problem fo rme...Xmas morning and I got a small pin hole leak outside.....got the hose clamp...but no rubber.

Saved me a few hundred dollars. Thanks!

Awesome. That was just what I needed to get a 2" cooper pipe leak under control. Thanks for sharing 👍🏾

Great work mate. I had the same problem. I tried your advice and it worked ! I wish that you are always successful in all that you do for your big heart for sharing.

Wow I will go to homedepot to buy two clamps to fix my pipe first thing in the morning. One thousand thanks!

Awesome trick. Saved me at 10pm when stores closed!

Simple solutions are best solutions. Truely amazing how simple and effective this fix is.

This is very helpful to me. Such clear instructions. I Heard water, found the source and saw a pinhole. Shut the water off (not main) but it’s still leaking and so I will do this since it’s so simple. Thank You. It’s an outside pipe for the hose so maybe I’ll fix it and not use that one anymore I have several others. Wish me luck.

Thank you for sharing. This will block 🚫 the pin hole I have in my basement ceiling.

I don't know why I didn't think to do this thank you man you savin my behind!

Great video!

Thank you! Worked perfectly!

Thank you for the videos...your a life saver

Good video, short and simple. I have the same problem, same place in my attic. My question is, is this a short-term fix or a long term (10 years or more).

Great help! Thanks

Thank you!!!

This is a handy straightforward fix thank you! Do you know on average how long copper piping lasts before pinhole leaks can appear? We got some installed inside our house along the downstairs basement ceiling.

Depends on the water quality, the conditions of the pipe environment, the quality of the pipe material, and just luck. I have a 70 year old house and one pipe randomly got a pinhole leak at the solder joint on an elbow after 68 years. No signs of corrosion or damage. Just the plumber missed a spot of solder in 1949 and it took until 2019 to reveal itself.

Would this be fine on top vertical piece of copper pipe near the hot water tank since the pipe will be warm?

Lady who is losing her house after owning it for 50 years has a plumbing problem. A solder joint developed a small drip. Your method will stop the drip. It's not a permanent solution, but will carry her through for a few days. Water will be shut off when she moves out in about 30 days.

I dont have rubber...can I use a small piece of foam?

Hello, Great video! I have a question, I have a pin hole leak in a hot water copper line. It is corroded pretty bad, I can see the pin hole. It is on the bottom of the copper pipe. It is on an elbow joint. I am afraid to sand away at the corrosion, fearing that I might make it worse. What should I do? Is there anything I can use on corroded copper with out sanding?? Just spray or paste onto corroded copper pipe. Thanks, Jeff

What if it's a smaller pipe?

That was a nice fix. Thank you.

Great video. thanks

Municipalities are using Chloramines (chlorine/ammonia) as the disinfectant. Chloramines are more acidic and create an caustic environment and an increased possibility of having pin hole leaks in copper. Whole house catalytic carbon units have been found effective at reducing this. HousePure whole house filters target the problem.

Such municipalities should have their Utilities Director taken out and shot, then the remaining gov't should be sued until they rectify the pH. Copper should last indefinitely w/ N. America municipal water. If you have a well that's acidic enough to attack copper, drill a deeper well until you hit "sweet" water. NOT saying whole house filters aren't a great idea, for many reasons, but the incoming water shouldn't have such a low pH.

Cool video. Never seen that trick- Have you ever clamped down to hard and crushed the pipe? I remember one time I was handling some pipe that was so brittle it fell apart in my hand.

No never crushed the pipe but have broke the hose clamp a few times. Thanks for watching!

How long do you think this will hold?

How about in case of elbow joints

Very handy to know, thanks for sharing!

Wow. Rubber stops leaks. Shocked, and will last for years!

Would this work well for a hot water pipe also?
