This winter storm leaves many families looking for a quick fix on their leaking water pipes. What happens if you can't find a plumber quickly and within your budget? One easy solution is to temporarily patch the pipes by yourself.
As long as you have the right parts/fittings, you can temporarily cap off the leaking branches and/or patch the trunk line, then the house will have water to use in some areas. Afterward, you can wait until you can get a plumber to help you out.
DIY is not hard. Pretty much any person who is willing can do it.
