<human>:  How can I fix a leaky pipe in my house?
<bot>: The first step to take when fixing a leaky pipe in your house is to identify where the leak is coming from. First, shut off the water to the affected pipe and then locate where the leak is. Once the location is determined, you can decide what type of repair is necessary, such as replacing a corroded or cracked pipe section or perhaps just using putty or caulk to seal the leak. Be sure to have the right tools and materials on hand before you begin. If you're unsure of how to correctly repair the leak, it may be best to contact a plumber.
