Hello everyone I found this site searching for a water leak problem I have! anyway I have a copper pipe that's leaking in my attic and my plumber is out of town till next Sunday and I can't get a hold of him! I was wondering what I can use to seal the pipe temporary leak with out soldering? PS it's not that big of a leak.

Thanks Matt

EDIT: Forgot to add it's a hot water pipe coming from the water heater

hi and welcome to the forum.
this is a DIY site so if you'd like to fix it, you're in the right place. it's actually can be very simple. can you take a picture of the area dripping? you might be able to just pop in a sharkbite fitting and be done with it!
