Is the hose bibb outside of your home a threat to your plumbing every winter? Do you fret about the potential for burst pipes and flooding?
While older hose bibbs can cause these problems, newer ones have been designed to eliminate the threat of water damage from frozen hose bibbs.
If your home in Philadelphia or the Delaware Valley has a hose bibb that needs replacement or repairs in response to winter damage or any other cause, contact the plumbers at Len The Plumber today!
What Is a Hose Bibb?
A hose bibb is a technical term for the faucets outside of your home that you can attach a hose to. A frozen hose bibb is naturally a cause for concern when the winter dips below freezing because the spigot and connecting pipes often exist outside of your insulation and get exposed directly to the elements.
If water freezes in your hose bibb, it can cause major leaks and burst pipes when the water thaws, creating significant water damage. Fortunately, modern hose bibb designs prevent this problem.
Modern hose bibbs, also known as frost-proof bibbs, freeze-proof faucets, and sill cocks, are made so that the valve seat where the water sits in the closed faucet is actually inside of your home and thus kept warm.
