The other day I noticed a puddle under the tank where the well water comes into the basement. I found the leak to be coming from where 2 threaded pipes join. Here is a close up image. The arrow points to where the water :is coming out of:
Questions:
- Is there any way to fix this without taking the thing apart?
- If not, I am looking for some tip on how to take this apart without flooding the basement. I don't see how I can stop the water from rushin out on both side of the leak if I take it apart. Any tips on how to take this apart an what kinda sealer I should use is much appreciated.
Yes, I am a plumbing newbie but I'd like to take a shot at fixing this before having to scrape up the cash to have the pro to come in.
Many Thanx
