This article provides a step-by-step guide on repairing water leaks in PVC joints. It covers both minor and serious leaks, detailing the use of sealants, waterproof tape, and the complete replacement of the joint if necessary. Recommended products from TDD are also included for effective repairs.

First, check the water leakage of the PVC joint. If the leakage is not very serious, you can first clean the water stains at the leakage area, then prepare an AB sealant, apply it to the leakage area of the PVC joint, and then wrap a layer of leak proof sealing tape. If the water leakage is serious, it is necessary to first remove the leaking PVC joint, then purchase a PVC joint of the same size and install it.

How to repair the leakage of the PVC sewer joint

1. Purchase a new PVC water pipe in advance to replace it. First, cut off the broken pipe, and then insert the connector into one side of the pipe. Align the cut area on the other side with the other opening of the connector, so that it can be kept straight. Then, send it into this end to ensure that the two ends intersect. Then, remove it and apply PVC glue to the outside of the drainage pipe and water pipe on both sides.

2. You can also choose to purchase waterproof adhesive tape to repair the leak, wrap the tape around the leak, and then apply cement mortar and waterproof agent to it.
