If you live in a state that has cold winters, the hose spigot or bib can freeze and burst in the winter. Some homeowners will brush off a leaking hose spigot/bib as nothing more than an annoyance, but leaky outdoor spigots waste a large amount of water for being such a small leak. Over time, a leaking hose bib can cause water damage to your foundation, which will turn into a much larger and more expensive repair!

Generally, we propose two options for our customers: repair the leaking hose bib or install a brand new hose bib. If we repair your hose bib, we will determine what is causing the leak. There’s a chance we need to replace the packing nut, main washer, or the spigot. If your hose bib isn’t fixable through a simple repair, we will propose replacing your outdoor faucet.

While you have a plumber at your house, ask him to inspect any other outdoor spigots to check for leaks. Save yourself the time and additional charges and get everything fixed all at once. Ready Plumbers come fully equipped with replacement parts, tools and anything else they need to do most plumbing services.
