I’ve already performed a manual override by shutting off the main water valve, but I’m looking for a solid DIY workaround to hold things together until I can get a professional "deploy."</p> <p>I’m handy-ish with tools (better with code, but I can manage hardware), but I don’t want to cause a total system failure by doing something wrong. Has anyone here dealt with a similar "leak" using DIY tricks?</p> <p>Looking for any advice on temporary containment or quick fixes. Thanks for helping a fellow dev out!</p> webdev
