Outside taps

Brampton Outdoor Faucet Repair

An outdoor tap that leaks inside the wall can soak a basement ceiling in spring. Frost-free bibs and good winter habits prevent most of the trouble.

Signs of a failing hose bib

  • Dripping from the spout even when closed
  • Water in the basement near the wall after using the hose
  • No water from the tap in spring because it froze
  • A handle that spins freely

Repair or upgrade

Standard hose bibs need their inside shut-off closed every fall. Frost-free hose bibs have a long stem so the valve sits inside the warm wall. We repair washers and stems where possible and replace damaged or old bibs with frost-free models with built-in backflow protection.

  1. Close the interior shut-off and drain the line.
  2. Remove the old bib.
  3. Install a new frost-free bib sloped to drain.
  4. Seal the exterior and test.

Winter routine

Disconnect hoses before the first freeze. A hose left attached keeps water in a frost-free bib and can split it. Close the inside valve on older bibs and open the outside tap to drain.

Why did my frost-free bib still burst?
