Leaking Outside Faucet Repair
A leaking outside faucet can waste water, damage the exterior of your home, and lead to bigger plumbing issues if it is not fixed quickly. We service and replace all types of outdoor fixtures, including hose bibs, wall hydrants, and sillcocks, and we make sure the repair is done correctly so the leak does not return. Our focus is on long lasting solutions and helping you protect your home through every season.
What a Hose Bib Is
A hose bib is the exterior faucet on your home that you attach a garden hose to. It is the connection point between your indoor plumbing system and the outside of your house. Because it sits outdoors year round, it experiences more wear, temperature changes, and pressure fluctuations than most indoor fixtures.
Why Hose Bibs Start Leaking
Leaks usually develop from worn washers, loose packing nuts, cracked housings, or damage caused by freezing temperatures. Over tightening hoses, leaving hoses connected during winter, or age related deterioration can also create steady drips. Even a small leak can release a surprising amount of water, so it is best to take care of the issue right away.
Warranty for Repairs and Replacements
We stand behind our work on hose bib repairs and replacements. When we fix or install a new outside faucet, you receive a warranty on both the labor and the parts. If anything related to the repair fails within the warranty period, we make it right.
Upgraded Hose Bib Options
Yes, we install upgraded hose bibs that include vacuum breakers or anti siphon valves. These devices prevent contaminated water from flowing backward into your clean water supply. Many local codes require these features, and they are a smart upgrade for any home. If your current hose bib does not have one, we can replace it with a modern, code compliant model.
Winterizing Your Outside Faucets
Winterizing is one of the best ways to prevent leaks. Disconnect all hoses before freezing temperatures arrive, shut off the interior supply valve if your home has one, and open the outside faucet to drain any remaining water. For homes with older hose bibs, installing frost free models can add extra protection. If you are unsure how to winterize your home, we can walk you through it or take care of it for you.
If your outside faucet is leaking, we can repair it quickly and make sure your system is protected for the future.
