A dripping or seized outdoor faucet wastes water and stains the wall behind it. We replace worn hose bibs with quarter-turn brass ones that shut off clean.
Dripping, leaking, or seized
Florida sun, salt air and constant use are hard on outdoor faucets. Most fail at the washer, the stem packing, or the threads.
A new faucet that shuts off
We shut off the water, remove the old hose bib, and install a quarter-turn brass replacement with a vacuum breaker. Then we test it under pressure.
Worth knowing
An outdoor faucet is on your side of the meter, so every drip is on your water bill. A slow drip also leaves rust and mineral stains on stucco that are hard to remove.
A drip from the spout is often a worn washer, and a leak at the handle is often loose packing. Both can be repaired, but on an old or corroded faucet a replacement is usually the better value.
That is the vacuum breaker releasing. A little water when you shut the faucet off is normal. Constant spraying while the water is on means the vacuum breaker is worn and should be replaced.
