Can Plumbing Leaks Fix Themselves?

We all know that anything that holds fluid can leak. You may see radiator leaks in your car or a leak under your sink.

Even if you have an old lawnmower you might see oil  leaks.  And if you’ve ever gone camping or own a camper you may have small leaks when it rains or smell mildew in the camper which is another sure sign of a leak.  In most cases these leaks can get worse and cause extensive damage.
