What is an exterior hydrant used for?

Exterior hydrants provide outdoor water access for tasks like watering, cleaning, washing equipment, and outdoor maintenance. They’re designed to handle frequent use and exposure to the elements.

How do I know if my exterior hydrant needs repair or replacement?

Signs include leaking when turned off, water dripping inside walls, low water pressure, corrosion, or difficulty shutting the hydrant off completely. Older or repeatedly leaking hydrants may need replacement.

Can a leaking exterior hydrant cause hidden damage?

Yes. Leaks can allow water to seep into walls, foundations, or crawl spaces, leading to structural damage, mold growth, and higher water bills if left unaddressed.

What is freeze protection, and why is it important?

Freeze protection helps prevent water inside the hydrant from freezing during cold weather. Freeze-related damage can cause pipes to burst, leading to major repairs if not properly addressed.

Are frost-free hydrants better than standard exterior faucets?

Frost-free hydrants are designed to shut off water inside the wall, reducing the risk of freezing. They’re often recommended for long-term reliability and cold-weather protection.

Are exterior hydrant services usually completed in one visit?

Many exterior hydrant repairs or replacements can be completed in a single visit. More extensive upgrades or freeze protection solutions may take longer depending on access and installation requirements.
