The Creative HandyWoman: How to Fix a Leak With a Sanitary Napkin!

Share News:

photoHad a little leak upstairs today, thankfully our electronic water bugs alerted us. Came home to inspect and found a copper pipe feeding cold water into our new Eternal Hybrid Hot Water heater had a jet stream of water escaping right from the copper! It must have been spewing for a week or so, as the pan finally caught enough water to alert the detector and off went my alarm.

But look how I fixed it! Found a sanitary napkin and wrapped it around the copper pipe. So handy, the adhesive sanitary pad made a nice, secure sleeve. Those pads come in so handy!!!

Now if I put my house on the market, do you think Home Inspectors might notice this?
