As springtime sets in, you may find yourself using your outdoor faucet more frequently, whether watering the garden or spraying the pollen from your car. Inconsistent wintry temperatures paired with periods of non-use create less-than-ideal conditions for older hose bibbs. You may notice a new leak or water pooling on the ground beneath the spigot, which usually means you have an underlying hose bibb problem.
Because of the way they were designed, older hose bibbs (outdoor faucets) are at high risk of freezing during the cold months, and you often don’t realize there’s a problem until spring arrives. Fortunately, newer models of outdoor faucets have been developed that eliminate this risk entirely!

How to Tell You Need Hose Bibb Repair or Replacement
Not sure whether your hose bibb needs professional repair or replacement services? There are a few steps you can take to thoroughly inspect it and identify any problems.
- Inspect outside. Look closely around the faucet for any sign of leakage, not just from the structure but around it, in the walls, and along the ground. Check it with the tap turned on and turned off.
- Inspect inside. The biggest danger from a damaged hose bibb is to your home’s interior. Check the adjacent wall in your basement, if you have one, or the ground floor walls and/or crawl space if you don’t, looking for water damage.
- Pressure test. Place your thumb over the spigot and turn it on. If your thumb is pushed aside as usual, no problem. If you’re able to block the water, you likely have a leak that allowed the water to escape elsewhere.
