What is a hose bib, and what is it used for?

A hose bib is an outdoor water faucet used for watering, washing, and other exterior tasks. It connects directly to your home’s plumbing system and is exposed to outdoor conditions year-round.

How do I know if my hose bib needs repair or replacement?

Signs include leaking when turned off, dripping behind the wall, low water pressure, corrosion, or difficulty opening or closing the valve. Older or repeatedly leaking hose bibs are often better replaced.

Can a leaking hose bib cause damage inside my home?

Yes. Leaks can allow water to seep into walls, insulation, or foundations, leading to mold growth, structural damage, and higher water bills if not addressed promptly.

What is a frost-proof hose bib, and do I need one?

A frost-proof hose bib shuts off water inside the wall rather than at the exterior handle, reducing the risk of freezing. It’s often recommended in areas where temperatures can drop during winter months.

Why do hose bibs freeze or burst?

Freezing usually occurs when water remains trapped in the line during cold weather. This can cause pipes or fittings to crack or burst if the hose bib isn’t properly designed or protected.

Are hose bib services usually completed in one visit?

Most hose bib repairs, replacements, or frost-proof upgrades can be completed in a single visit, depending on access and installation requirements.
