Common Outdoor Faucet Problems
Outdoor faucets take weather abuse, so they fail in predictable ways:
- A steady drip from the spout or handle.
- No flow or weak flow after winter.
- Water leaking behind the faucet into the wall.
- A handle that spins without shutting off.
A leak that runs into the wall is the one to catch fast.
What Causes Them
The biggest cause here is winter freeze damage — water left in the faucet freezes, expands, and splits the valve or pipe. Worn washers and seals cause the everyday drips.
If a freeze cracked the pipe inside the wall, that becomes a repair of the damaged supply pipe.

How We Repair an Outdoor Faucet
We diagnose whether it is a worn seal, a failed valve, or freeze damage, then repair or replace the faucet. Where it makes sense, we install a frost-proof hose bib to reduce future freeze risk.
We test for leaks both at the spout and behind the wall before finishing.
Winter and Outdoor Faucets
Our winters are hard on outdoor faucets. Water left in a standard hose bib can freeze and split it, sometimes leaking inside the wall when the weather warms. Winterizing outdoor faucets each fall prevents most of this.
The Family Handyman guide to winterizing outdoor faucets is a handy reference, and we handle the repairs and upgrades.
When to Call a Pro
Call us when an outdoor faucet drips, will not shut off, or leaks behind the wall. A frost-proof replacement can save you the same repair every spring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my outdoor faucet break over winter?
Water left in the faucet froze and expanded, splitting the valve or pipe. It is one of the most common cold-weather plumbing problems here.
What is a frost-proof hose bib?
It is an outdoor faucet designed so the shutoff sits inside the warm wall, reducing the chance of freeze damage. We often install these as replacements.
My outdoor faucet leaks into the wall — is that serious?
Yes. Water leaking behind the wall can cause hidden damage. It should be repaired promptly, and we check inside as well as out.
How do I winterize my outdoor faucets?
Disconnect hoses, shut off the interior valve if there is one, and drain the faucet before hard freezes. We can show you how or install frost-proof faucets.
Can you just replace the washer?
For a simple drip, sometimes yes. If the valve is freeze-damaged, replacement is the lasting fix. We advise based on what we find.
