Plumbing problems


Anyone have an easy fix to try and fix leaky PVC joints? I tried putting more cement around the outside of the joints but it stills has a small leak before. Any ideas will be great as I don't want to have to redo these.

you can sillycone the crap out of it, depending on how leaky it is, and how much flow is going through.

easiest fix would be to cut it and redo that small part. If you silicone it in a matter of weeks if not days the problem will reoccur. It would especially suck if the silicone fails while your not home and the leak gets bigger.
