DIY Do It Yourself Hacks This is a plumbing hack that is going to save you a lot of grief, especially when you have an emergency such as a pipe burst. This would be a water line, typically copper, or galvanized.
Your galvanized would have ore girth to it and be rounder. Copper is usually smaller. When you have water under pressure, usually a 3/4 inch going from the main feed into your home. This is residential, could work on commercial. The main problem is that most 24/7 emergency Long Beach Plumbers don’t answer their phone 24/7.
And even if they state that they are 24 hours, they often times are not. If you can’t reach a Long Beach Plumbing company, and the water is spilling all over the place, which may be causing a flood; if you can dig up and trench to get a a nice clean version of the pipe, you can help stop the bleeding, by using a rubber inner tube. It’s the inner tube that would go in a bicycle tire.
You can cut it, and maybe even fold it to make it a little but fatter, then you can use 2 clamps, that you can tighten up with a simple screw driver or wrench, and you can actually clamp that rubber, and that will suffice and keep the water from leaking. This will give you some time in case you plan on doing a few re-pipe of your plumbing system.
