The absolute most effective and permanent way to fix a leaking plumbing pipe is to completely cut out the damaged section and replace it with new matching pipe and fittings. For PVC or ABS drainage pipes, use proper primer and solvent cement to create a chemical weld. For copper supply lines, solder new copper couplings or use push-to-connect sharkbite fittings after shutting off the water supply. Verification: Turn on the water supply and inspect all newly installed joints with a dry paper towel to confirm zero leaks.
