Use a sealant to temporarily fix burst or broken pipes
Water pipes that have burst are among the most stressful things that can happen to a homeowner. Of course, you’ll call in a professional plumber; nevertheless, what do you do until he gets there? Water will continue to pour out of the pipe – and your water bill will keep going up. Certainly not!
Run to your local hardware shop and get some silicone sealant, then apply it as best you can around the hole. It’s far from a long-term fix, but it should at least give you enough time to reach for help.
