How do I fix this pipe?

Question

How do I get this fixed?  Plumber?  Duct tape? 😆

Small leak from pipe outside my 2013 house. Likely knicked by my husband weed eating.

Deborah, you need a photo here. Preferably a bunch of photos, close up and from a distance.

Another reason the cable guys are putting heavy plastic covers 2 ft up on cable runs down the poles into the ground.

My favorite pipe fix...

Deborah R. · Answer

Sorry, thought I could add a photo from my app, but couldn't and wasn't near my computer.  I found someone to fix it.  It was a tiny spurt of a leak; so, that is good.  I think my husband knicked it when he did the weed eating.

Thanks, everyone!

From what you described this is probably an easy fix especially if it is a 2013 house. Pictures will definitely help everyone give more specific advice.

Assuming copper, turn the water off, cut both sides of the kink with a copper cutter and Quick connect the back together. Use two connectors and an unlinked line if lacking length to do with 1.

@Deborah Repaskey what Jim said, but before taking pics, turn off the water.

Even a small leak backed by full city water pressure will start to add up quick.
