Hi there,

I am concerned about a small leak (very small drip) at a solder joint of a hot water pipe.

Should I have a plumber come and re-solder the joint or is there a produce I can purchase that will safely stop the leak.


Thank you in advance for your assistance,

Things are not as easy as it seems sometimes. If it's an old joint, you basically have to disassemble it and re-prep and solder it and/or replace the fitting. Could be easy, could be difficult. Hard to say.

Hire a plumber if your not comfy doing it yourself.
