Why You Should Hire a Professional for Outdoor Faucet Repair

A leaking or damaged outdoor faucet may seem like a minor problem, but it could be an indication of larger problems. A leaking hose bib can cause water damage, mold growth, and structural problems inside your home. Moreover, the damage is not limited to the outdoor spigot. If the spigot freezes or is physically damaged, the damage can spread to other pipes inside your home, causing major leaks and expensive damage.

To address the problem correctly, have your outdoor faucet inspected and repaired by a professional. At Black Diamond, we would be happy to help. We can examine your outdoor spigot and recommend the best repair options for your budget. Our experts can repair or replace the hose bib and additional plumbing as necessary, and we can retrofit your home with easy-to-drain, freeze-resistant hose bibs.

Maintenance Tips to Prevent Outdoor Faucet Damage

With proper care and maintenance, you can be sure your outdoor faucets are working properly. Here are some helpful tips to keep your outdoor faucets flowing:

• Prevent freezing during the winter – Before the first freeze, drain and disconnect your hose, then cover the spigot for the winter. If your home has an interior valve to prevent freezing, shut it off and open the exterior spigot to drain it.
• Check your faucet often – Make sure it flows properly and shuts off completely. If the pressure is low, the pipes may be filled with corrosion or limescale. If the faucet fails to open or shut off completely, it may need to be repaired or replaced.
• Make sure the faucet is secure – If the outdoor faucet or pipes are loose, the constant flexing may lead to leaks. Secure the pipes with the appropriate brackets.
• Do not over-tighten the hose – When installing a hose, make sure it is not cross-threaded and tighten it only enough for it to stop leaking. Any further may strip out the threads on the hose or the faucet itself.
