Quick Fix for a Leaking Water Pipe

We woke up this morning to water on the floor in our kitchen. Now this is our house kitchen not an RV, but RVs have pipes too. This is a quick fix for all kinds of breaks including garden tools, leaking water pipes and so much more. You can use it as a permanent solution (as long as it is legal and in code) or until you decide to have it repaired.

So what is it? Fiberfix! You can find it on Amazon (http://amzn.to/2lsRM2A) for about $20. You can also find it at your local home improvement store if you need it right away. This is an item I will be carrying with us in the RV as it is good for leaking pipes, hoses and other broken items.

Fiberfix seemed to be my quickest solution to get the leak stopped. All you have to do is clean the area, put on a pair of gloves, soak the Fiberfix in water for 5 seconds and then apply it to the surface you are fixing. 15 minutes later, it is hard as steel and waterproof. No more leak. I posted a video of my fix over on our YouTube channel. Now that this has been fixed, time to rip out all the damaged dry wall and replace it.
