Question:

I have a leaky sink in one of the copper pipes underneith, i need a quick fix.?

one of the small copper pipes under my sink is leaking, is there a quick fix? i currently have a bucket under it.

Answer:

check with your local hardware store.there are a ton of quick, (temporary fix's) so that you can continue to use your water until a plumber or handyman can fix it My personal favorite is the padded clamp.you tighten the screws to clamp it on and when it gets fixed you get to keep your clamp for future use.
i hate it when these people get on here and give answers to the questions it is better to thought a fool than to keep talking and remove all doubt .any way there is no quick fix to copper there are a lot of gimmicks that say they will work and thy might for a few days but they are going to fail over time hire a plumber to come in and fix it the copper line will have to be resweated i will tell this if they charge you more than 125.00 you are getting bit it should not take more than thirty minutes to do this oh noe more thing if you don't know what they are doing don't tell the plumber that you don't know anything .all they should have to do is remove the fitting clean it and reinstall it if they have to replace it it still should not take but about thirty minutes
Shut the valve off if there is one in the line before the leaky area. If not, no, you'd need to have the pipe resoldered.
