I have water that just barely starting to leak at my main drain line. The pipe gets a little wet but it's not even enough to start dripping on the floor yet. However, I'm guessing over time it will continue to get worse. I had a plumbing company take a look at it and they want $750 to repair it which seems way out of line to me.
I'm pretty handy around the house and would really like to fix this myself if possible, especially considering the cost to repair professionally.
I got some JB weld epoxy but then read that this is only a temporary repair. If it's a permanent epoxy, how is this temporary? Why would it only last a short while and not permanently?
How can I perform a permanent fix on this leak? It's coming from in between two fittings. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
