How do you fix a leaky outdoor pipe.?

Question

The pipe is actuall in the garage. Was once used for hook up to washer.

Answer 1

The most important question is: "Do you still want this pipe to work?" If not, simply cut the water supply to the pipe.

If you do want it to work, does it ever get below freezing where you live? That isn't an answer to how to fix it, but it is important.

Fixing it depends on what the pipe is made of and what is causing the leak. Is it at a connection point or in the pipe itself or from a valve/faucet?

If at a connection point, you need to redo the connection. If in the pipe, you can either replace the pipe or try a clamp on device that covers leaks. The clamp is easier, but I don't like them. If it is in the valve/faucet, you can try to rebuild it, usually it is just a rubber washer and/or other rubber part. Replacing it is easier and usually not too expensive.

Answer 2

I need to know if leaking pipe is galvanize or copper or pvc. Each pipe requires different repair applications to fix. Is this a faucet hook-up or a line hose hook up to it.

Answer 3

copper? plastic? supply line with water pressure or a drain pipe? is it unused? See if there is a shutoff between the house and the garage. Is it dripping at the shut off or squirting water?
