Can a cracked underground iron water line be patched?

Answer 1

Yes

Two steel cylindrical halfs, slightly larger than the pipe, are used, and they are clamped together with bolts after four nuts are welded to the edges (the half cylinders are lined with a thick rubber layer to seal the hole.)

Yes, a cracked underground iron water line can be patched using various methods such as epoxy patching, pipe sleeves, or clamps designed specifically for repairing cracked pipes. However, the effectiveness of the patching will depend on the extent and location of the crack, as well as the condition of the surrounding pipe. It is advisable to consult a professional plumber to assess the damage and determine the most appropriate repair method.
