Common Hose Bib Problems We Fix
Our expert plumbers can diagnose and resolve a wide range of common hose bib issues:
- Constant Dripping or Leaking: The most common problem, often due to worn washers, seals, or a damaged valve.
- Low Water Pressure: Can be caused by internal blockages, a partially closed main valve, or a larger plumbing issue.
- No Water Flow: Indicates a complete blockage or a problem with the water supply to the bib.
- Handle Issues: Loose, stripped, or broken handles that make it difficult to turn the water on or off.
- Corrosion or Rust: Visible signs of deterioration that can lead to leaks and affect water quality.
- Freezing Damage: In colder climates, older hose bibs can freeze and burst, leading to significant leaks when thawed.
- Backflow Issues: If your hose bib isn't equipped with proper backflow prevention, it could allow contaminated water to flow back into your home's potable water supply.
