Hose Bib

Having an outdoor spigot is handy when you want to water the lawn or wash your car, so you want to make sure it’s going to work when you need it. This faucet, also known as a hose bib, can become damaged over time. Keep an eye on it for leaks, and call HomeTown Plumbing if you need it repaired or replaced.

A hose bib that has developed a leak could have been damaged during one of our cold Minnesota winters. When temperatures drop, the faucet can freeze and burst, causing it to spring a leak. It can be easy to overlook a leaky hose bib, because it’s probably not something you use frequently. You won’t notice a drip like you would with a sink or shower faucet, so you should check it regularly, especially during the winter.

A faucet with a slow, steady drip is wasting gallons of water and could cause an increase in your water bill. Over time, the moisture could damage the foundation of your home. Don’t wait to get it fixed!

Call the hose bib experts at HomeTown Plumbing to come out and see if it needs to be repaired or replaced. A repair could be something as easy as replacing the nut, washer or the spigot. Replacement is just as easy when it’s one of our expert technicians doing the job.
