PVC pipes are very common in home decoration, and every household will use PVC pipes. However, during the use of PVC pipes, water leakage occurs for various reasons. But many people do not know how to deal with such a situation, and can only wait anxiously for maintenance workers to come over.
You are fully capable of solving the problem of leaking pipes by yourself for the first time.
When you find that the PVC pipe is leaking, you should first cut off the water source, and then check the leakage. If the problem of water leakage is relatively minor, you can use professional water pipe glue to solve it. Apply this glue evenly to the leaking part of the water pipe, apply it 4-5 times, and finally wrap the leaking part with tape. If the leaking water pipe is a serious problem, you can saw off the leaking water pipe and replace it with a new one.
NB-QXHY is a professional manufacturer of PVC valves and pipe fittings. I will explain in detail some reasons for the leakage of PVC pipes and the solutions to the leakage.
Reasons for water leakage of PVC pipes:
● With the use of PVC water pipes for a long time, the water pipes will gradually age and harden, causing the pipes to leak.
● There is a foreign body blockage in the PVC pipe, especially if there is a hard object blocked in the pipe joint, then water leakage may occur after a long time.
● The PVC water pipe is affected by external forces and causes water leakage.
● In the PVC pipe, the most vulnerable part is the joint part. In particular, high temperatures can damage the water pipes.
● The size of PVC pipes and fittings do not match, or the adhesion effect is not good, resulting in the inability of the pipes and fittings to be completely connected, resulting in water leakage.
How to Repair a Leaky PVC Pipe?
● First turn off the water valve, and then observe the leakage part to see what the situation is.
● Observe the severity of the damage to the leaking part. If there are only cracks and water overflows from the cracks, it is simple. You can go to the store to buy special glue used for repairing broken plastic pipes.
● If there is a large crack at the leaking place, which is caused by external force collision and cannot be remedied with glue, you can saw off the leaking part, then go to the store to buy a connector of matching size, and reconnect the pipes at the leaking place. When connecting the pipes, apply PVC glue to the inside of both ends of the joint and the outside of the water pipe.
● If it is found that the cracks in the PVC pipe have covered the entire surface of the pipe, there is no need to carry out local repairs. In such a serious situation, you'd better find a professional to repair it.
