We had our sprinkler system (pvc manual valves & check valve) demolished by vandals and my husband bought all new stuff and glued them together. But rather than replacing the PVC than came from our well pump, he connected the new fittings to the old using a piece of pvc that he glued INSIDE the old pipe and new fittings. Only problem is that the connector he used didn't really fit snuggly and it is leaking and water is dripping down the outside of our (cement block) garage wall. Is there some way to patch this? I'm afraid that to do it right we'd have to get all new fittings and start all over again as everything is glued tightly together with only the connectors visable (no pipe connector is view). I was toying with making some pvc filings and adding pvc cement and stuffing it in the leak area. Do you think this would work? Appreciate your suggestions. The leak is heavy enough that if I put the sprinklers on for a couple hours, I'm finding water making its way INSIDE the garage (Not sure where its actually coming from as I don't feel wetness on the inside pump/pvc. I have no idea if this water could cause problems if just left to leak but I'd sure like to fix it.
Thanks!
