Pipe sealant for a small leak

[rusty97]

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to use to seal a small leak? It's on a PVC joint for the return pipe from my sump. It's like one drip a minute so it's not too bad I just need to seal it. I was thinking some of that epoxy putty but maybe someone here has had a similar experience could offer a suggestion.

Thanks,
Steve

I recently ran my sump across the house and into the basement. I had 6 small-medium leaks, all at joints. I used the blue pvc cement available at Home Depot. Its primer and cement all in one. I just dab the leak as dry as possible, take the swabby thing and roll around the joint itself. Usually I'll do two coats. The cement bonds the two pieces of pvc. I did end up having to cut two joints out and redo them but they were a good drip drip drip type of leaks.

Thanks for the info, I'll give that a shot.

I used this on a small weaping leak and it works awesome.
