How do I repair this?

[lostchild]

It needs more hose clamps, pieces of pipe, bends, connection types, colors, and different types of materials. Then, I would fix the hole.

Yes, looking at it, the term Afro-Engineering springs to mind.

Should cover the 10" hole.

BUT, put a fan on that for a few days to dry it all out.

Being in a closet i assume I would just patch it take a piece of drywall about three inches larger and trim the back side of piece to fit hole leaving paper on front to extend over old wall and install with dry wall mud. Smooth and repeat mud till covered well, then sand and paint. Walaa. Good luck

That’s called a “hot patch”…..hehehe….

Didn’t know that, every time I did it it was actually pretty cool

He cut the pipes short - the red one is leaning out. If the drywall is not ruined - soft and will get black mold - foam it in with a can of medium expansion foam. Zinzer the drywall to kill any possible mold. I would also look at doing a frame box around the pipes in case it happens again.

Had a leak in a hose a week ago. The plumber came and repaired it, but now I have a hole in the sheet rock. It measures 4.5” x 10”, is in a tight space in a garage closet.

What do I need from the Depot to fix and seal it so cold air doesn‘t get in the walls? Please use small words. Anything more complicated than a light switch is normally out of my league.

I would cut out all the stained sheetrock all the way to the floor and pull out all the wet insulation to make sure there is no mold. Then repatch. Buy the sound of your experience I would do all the demo and hire someone to do the patch

Looking at that water damage, I’d get somebody to replace that whole sheet.

And not being up to date on modern plumbing materials, somebody in plumbing, what is that mass of hose clamps on the pipes?

Not clamps but PEX crimp rings. The rings fasten with a special tool.

Since it is in a garage closet, I would not bother to patch the drywall. Get a piece of 1/2 inch plywood and cut it several inches larger than the hole. Put a few screws into the studs. If it ever leaks again, you have an "access panel".

To add to his point, you can pick up a plastic/nylon access panel at Lowes or Home depot for 20 or 30 bucks. Simple to install, locate the studs, make sure the panel fits between the studs, place the panel on the wall around the existing hole (and between the studs), mark the hole and cut the drywall with a keyhole saw or razor knife. The access panel has about a 1.5 inch frame around it so once you slide it in the hole, you simply screw the frame to the wall.

Here's a great example (they come in different sizes) : https://www.homedepot.com/p/The-Plu...Door-Removable-Hinged-in-White-12AP/314064860

Leave it open. With all that’s going on there chances of it leaking again are high.

like others have said… access panel
