Whether you are making a survival cache time capsule, fitting pipe at a bug-out shelter or just trying to save money around the house, ensuring any PVC pipe joints are leak proof is critical, not just to prevent damaging property and possessions, but for your state of mind.

The smallest leak, over time, can do irrevocable damage to floors, drywall, rugs, tile, not to mention your stuff – anyone who has ever had to deal with saturated cardboard boxes can attest – so making sure any work you do is leak proof is critical.

Luckily, with a little practice and training, making leak-proof connections with PVC pipe is a cinch.

In fact, if you follow some simple steps, your PVC pipe joints will last for decades.
