Task guide
When this may be needed

- A joint weeps and leaves a white or green crust.
- A joint started leaking after someone knocked the pipe.
- A joint leaks only when the hot water is on.
- The joint's fitting has cracked.
What the team does
The technician dries the area and finds exactly which joint leaks, and whether it is the joint or a crack beside it. The water is shut off and the section drained. Threaded joints are taken apart, cleaned and resealed; compression joints get a new olive; push-fit joints are remade. A cracked fitting is replaced. The water is turned back on and the joint is watched under pressure.

FAQs
Usually. Most joint leaks are a failed seal or olive, which is replaced when the joint is remade.

PUB requires repairs to water supply pipes and fittings to be done by a licensed plumber, except for the simple works it lists, such as flexible hoses connected to taps.
