Dude....Thank you, right on time. We noticed water pooling in our yard and I started digging. Found a pipe I didn't know existed. I always thought my water pump was directly over my well pipe, nope. Thanks again!

This is great. Now all I have to do is wait for the crawl space to dry up and I can sell the house.

Thank you so much for you posting this video. I find out that one pipe in my heater system was leaking. I placed a piece of putty and tape until I'll get a plumber, but watching your video I fixed this emergency myself. Now, I believe I can wait until next Spring/Summer to change the corroded pipe. Very grateful! Thanks again! 💚🙏

This is exactly what I have going on in my 3/4 galvie water line from service pipe to the house. Was dealing with plumbers who are trying to get me to replace the whole darn line to the tune of $3500! Plumber said that the reason my pipe looks all ballooned up (like your pipe in the vid) is because my pipe is swelling!! After watching your vid it's very clear to me now that it's just rust that can be removed! ..after watching this vid I feel confident I attempt to make this repair myself. Thanks for posting PB MAN!!

Wow....thanks for this video. I just came across the same problem. Restoring an old carriage house that has water to it from the main house with old galvanized pipe installed probably in the 20s. I was lucky in that the water leak was obvious at the surface and so when I dug down to the leak I have a thick rusty pipe just like yours. I will be trying your method shortly. Thanks again for your time to explain your tried and true method!

They also make repair clamps for galvanized pipe. This was a good idea being that the pipe is buried, great fix!

Thanks a million. Very simple and clear. I feel like you're my good friend helping me out. All the best.

I wanted to thank you so much for the info. I was scared to clean all the rust an the wrench worked great. Thank you brother

Great video. Using the Channelock pliers to remove the rust deposits is a great idea. Getting to bare metal is very important. This worked great and I avoided a very expensive plumbing job.

Awesome video and helpful. Most of us can't just call a plumber and spend thousands without preparing by getting a loan. We all know that the line has to be replaced and he did that. But in the mean time you do need water and this is a solution. My neighbor is dealing with this right now and if I say, dude replace that pipe, I really don't think that is at all helpful. What is helpful is this person who showed us his talent and smarts to come up with a solution. Thank you for your awesome ideas and time!

Thank you!!!! Doing this today. You’re my new hero!!!

Excellent video! Everyone, do be careful with the power tool near that puddle. Dip it in and it could electrocute you ⚡☠️

Thanks for the useful tips my friend

Great job, support all the way.

Thanks, I have a copper pipe coming into my home.. going to try this...

Thanks. The exact info I needed..

Great video thank you so much.....👍🏼

Good repair. Thank you.

you should retitle this emergency iron pipe repair.(for views and to eliminate negative comments.). this happened to me 2 days ago.. im going to replace the line but if i wasnt able to do so i would be trying this.. cool video.. i literally have the exact same issue..

Very Helpful! Thanks!!

My pipe looks exactly like that. Wanting to just get er through the winter and replace the whole pipe come springtime

Peanut butter man will find himself in a real JAM with that fix!😁

Appreciate the video this is going to be helpful.

I’m not even going to waste my time watching this video after you said this is a no question this will work video. I absolutely believe you. So I’m not going to waste my time watching. I would urge you to stop wasting your time and money on continuing to patch a line that old it has many dangers to harm your health and that line is going to completely blow out soon. You are fighting a battle that was fought and lost over 30 years ago you can’t bring the dead back to life. Let that pipe rest in peace so that you can.

Thanks I ran into the same problem had 9 inches of water under my house before I realized it was leaking? My hole is on the bottom of the pipe but my pipe looked exactly the same with the big crusty rust right by my house this is going to save me tons of money thanks man

Man! Thank you I didn't know how to get the mineral deposit off it, I'm at a stand still until tomorrow..... but I still can't find the leak...if I dig to the right or left no water but where I'm at, there is water accumulating under but I don't see where it's coming from.

THANKS!!!!!!!

I’ve been repairing old iron pipes for years and would never use tape some parts of town the static pressure is 86 PSI and tape wouldn’t do a damn thing for a leak of any size

Thank You. Best part? The, “PEACE OUT”!

Stumbled on this vid, i have no plumbing issues but very interesting vid. Seems like a no brainer to use this tape vs $hitload of money if it works

Thank you. I have some cast iron pipes with some pretty big holes. I haven't tried this yet. I wonder if it will cover the holes.

That's a very shallow buried line! Here in Utah they're 4 feet down. Gaining access is much more intense.

If you water service is in that condition.. you can try, but at best it's a stop gap. The soil has eaten away all the zinc. It's done. Well and good.

I have to fix an iron pipe asap cause the spiget and sprinklers run on same water line and my new lawn seed needs the sprinklers. this particular brand of tape is a week out on order and I cannot find at lowes or anywhere else. is there another brand that works? thanks for the video!!! super helpful!

How about a pipe thats split half way around? Its the pipe for my outdoor spigot...damn place has it a foot and a half above ground and when i jerked my water hose to reach my car to wash it the pipe bent over and split below ground where the galvanizing wore away and rusted 😢

You don’t use tape you use couplers designed for repairing old iron pipe you should also dig back and expose at least 2’ on either side sometimes when you shut it off and turn it on again it can find another weak spot in the pipe and blow out you should just replace the whole damn thing or spend lots more time chasing leaks

Tried this method, I have water coming dripping through the wrap, only difference is there is a coupling right next to the leak. Any suggestions?

😀 yay We Like Tight! 😍😊

Looking to patch my main drain line from the service. The 1.5 feet section of pipe is rusted as water is just soaking through. Do you think it will work? Anyway i can send you a picture?

Nothing wrong with this video dude thanks but with 2 leaks near each other, did you ever just bite the bullet and replace the whole thing. If not did you install filters so you aren't drinking all that rust????

Do you know if it works on hot water copper line?

Time to run new pipe or you will be constantly doing this forever

Good as a temporary repair galvanized pipe 🤔 thing from the past replace all of that with PVC meter to house

Why not just replace the pipe?

ignore the rusty taste of the water

Why not Just use the Channel Locks ?

Should've taped all pipe that was cleaned.

Hard to hear. Need more volume,

dude replace that line

Think maybe it's time to have your water main replaced on your 98 yo house .....maybe?????😮😢

This is absolutely nonsense. This type product is only meant for an emergency repair to buy yourself a few days to dig up your line and completely replace a pipe that old. You are wasting your time and your money. I do understand that most people just like me are not financially able to just call someone out and pay for the repair. However products like this and videos like this do more harm than good. These people will continue to do this just like you are now. Instead of biting the bullet and coming up with a way to pay to have it replaced you keep doing this thinking one day I will get it done. Then before that day comes your water line repair break is so bad you can no longer repair. This also always seems to happen when you are financially at your worst 3 weeks ago you came back from vacation you paid for on 4 maxed out credit cards while on your vacation your car motor blows. One kid brakes their arm rock climbing, yhe wife becomes pregnant with your 3 child due to the vacation. You where 4 days late back from work because the car broke down so you get fired and the wife is put on bed rest due to last pregnancy being high risk so she is no longer working and the other 2 kids have new school clothes and Boy Scouts soccer etc to pay for. Then you arrive home finally and your water is off because the neighbor yard was floating a boat for 2 days before the water dept was called to shut your water off. Now you are in a bad bad spot. Would have been best to have replaced that line 2 years ago instead of the time and money wasted on this type thing. Ok just my no experience in life and how things work mind talking here. Do blow me off and say yea ok another nut job. But man I have lived it and been their learning hard lessons I did not have to learn if I would have only listened and prayed more.
