Anyone got any tips on how to seal a leaking joint in copper pipe without draining the system? (can't drain it down as it's connected to a header tank and has no isolation valve that I can find). Just looking for a short term fix before I get a plumber in to redo the whole thing alongside a boiler replacement.
Am i screwed?
For context ; I opened up under my bathroom sink as the tap was loose and found the pipe was dripping and rotting the cabinet (and maybe my floorboards and joists). The current situation is a makeshift drip tray, but the pipe us super close to the wall so most of the water is soaking into what used to be the plastering.
