Question:

How do I fix a cracked copper pipe without replacing it?

I found a hairline crack on a copper pipe that‘s buried underneath our garden that runs into our main house. Water has been leaking from the hairline crack. Is there a way to patch the hairline crack without having to replace the pipe?

all dodge transmissions go out easy i had an experience with a dodge caravan with tranny problems and a dodge sebring with tranny problems chrsyler is famous for producing bad trannys why do you think they were offering life time warranty on drive trains a while back
If you want a quick fix that will last use marine silicone, get it at boat stores it works like a charm. Its a pretty good price too it is meant to withstand water pressure. If they dont have marine silicone at the boat store take a plastic tube slice one side and fit it around the copper piping with the crack, next melt it slowly onto the pipe this should work. If your into more expensive stuff weld it, but make sure the temperature isnt too high just enough or it will melt the copper pipe and also make sure your using a metal that melts at lower heats definetaly not iron. Happy fixing! If you have any more questions email me!
Yes some of the early model diesel trucks had problems.They have fixed the problems so they do not occur now.This is one reason i bought a duramax with the allison tranny.
