is there something that you can use to fix a leak in a pvc joint that drips a little bubble drop of water.?

Question

with out cutting out the joint and replacing it. some kind of glue that would work even when the small slow drip of water is coming out

thanks for a answer

Answer 1

Replacing the joint is really easy, but you must have your reasons for not wanting to.
Prepare the spot by scraping or sanding any loose cement or dirt from the area, use some PVC primer if you have it. By the way, be sure you have turned the water off and relieved the pressure, and make the area as dry as you can.
Take a scrap of PVC pipe, and use a saw or scraper to make a small pile of shavings from it, about a teaspoon will do. take a dab of PVC cement and mix it in with a toothpick or nail (quickly, it sets up really fast), and smear it into the suspect area.
Normally you can apply pressure in about 30 minutes. Don't rush, give it an hour

Answer 2

This works, try it. Install a stainless steel hose clamp around the pvc joint and tighten it securely. Good Luck
