Daily Problems Homeowners Encounter with Outside Water Faucets

Outside water faucets serve various purposes in your daily life, from watering your garden to cleaning outdoor spaces. However, they are susceptible to several problems that can disrupt your routines:

Leaks and Drips: A leaking faucet not only wastes water but can also damage the faucet itself and the surrounding area.
Low Water Pressure: Reduced water pressure can make it challenging to perform tasks efficiently, such as watering your lawn or garden.
Freeze Damage: In Columbia, and throughout mid-Missouri, winters can be harsh, and if your outdoor faucet isn’t properly winterized, it can freeze and burst, leading to costly repairs.

FAQs on Outside Water Faucets

What is the outside water faucet called?

The outside water faucet is commonly referred to as a “spigot,” “hose bib,” or “outdoor faucet.” These terms are used interchangeably to describe the valve or fixture that provides access to water from the main supply for outdoor use. Spigots or hose bibs are typically found on the exterior walls of homes, near gardens, lawns, or areas where outdoor watering is required. They allow homeowners to connect hoses, sprinklers, or other watering devices to access water conveniently for activities like gardening, lawn care, washing vehicles, or filling outdoor containers. Proper maintenance and winterization of these outdoor faucets are crucial to prevent freezing and damage during colder months, ensuring they function effectively throughout the year.

What is the difference between a spigot and an outside faucet?

The terms “spigot” and “outside faucet” are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference between the two:

– Spigot: A spigot typically refers to a simple, unthreaded faucet or valve that controls the flow of water. Spigots are often found on containers like barrels or at the end of pipes where water is dispensed in a controlled manner. They are commonly used in outdoor settings but lack the threading necessary to attach hoses directly.

– Outside Faucet: An outside faucet, on the other hand, is a broader term that encompasses various types of fixtures designed for outdoor water access. While it can also refer to a spigot, it often denotes a more complex fixture with threads that allow for hose attachment. These fixtures are more versatile, as they can accommodate hoses, watering devices, and other outdoor accessories, making them a popular choice for outdoor water supply.

A spigot is a specific type of outdoor water control valve, while an outside faucet is a broader term that includes fixtures with threading for hose attachment, offering more functionality for outdoor water use.

Should outside faucets be left open or closed in winter?

Outside faucets, also known as hose bibs, should be closed in winter to prevent freezing and potential damage. When water freezes inside the pipes and faucets during cold weather, it can expand and cause pipes to burst or faucets to crack. This can lead to costly repairs and water damage.

To prepare your outside faucets for winter:

– Turn Off the Water: Locate the shut-off valve that controls the outdoor faucet and turn it off. This stops the flow of water to the faucet.

– Drain the Faucet: Open the outdoor faucet to drain any remaining water. Leave it open to allow air to circulate and prevent residual water from freezing.

– Disconnect Hoses: Remove any hoses or attachments from the faucet. Hoses can trap water and cause freezing.

Install Frost-Proof Faucets: Consider replacing standard outdoor faucets with frost-proof models designed for cold climates. These faucets have longer stems that prevent water from remaining inside the faucet.

By closing and draining your outside faucets in winter, you can protect your plumbing from freezing temperatures and avoid costly repairs in the spring.

I am happy to say that after working with MasterTech servicemen I am overwhelmingly satisfied with the service that has been done on my home.Russ, Matt and Danny are to be commended for their friendly, professional and knowledgeable service.Thank you all for taking the worry out of my home maintenance needs!

Unfortunately for me I know that Mastertech can usually get to work on your issue the next day, which is important in heating/cooling/plumbing situations.On the expensive end, but they are professional, personable, and quick.They also try to do the least expensive thing, and fix before replacing, if possible.I’ve had Logan here twice for different problems, and he has made unpleasant home repair experiences easier.

MasterTech is my go-to company for the plumbing needs at all of my properties. They are always prompt and extremely respectful, to both me at my home and to my tenants, and they often have availability for same-day service. I also love the convenience provided by their app. I’ve ordered, approved, and paid for expert service from several states away.Most recently, when I needed a water heater replacement at my house, MasterTech sent Logan to assess the situation on the same day that I called for help. He quickly assessed the problem, communicated with me via phone, and set up a replacement first thing the next morning.The tech the next morning was Andy Hoover. Andy showed up right on time. He took the time to explain what he was going to do and then educated me on the operation and future maintenance of my new water heater. During the process he cleaned where the old water heater had been located and left our utility room cleaner than he found it. (I cannot say the same for other companies I’ve used in the past). Andy even made friends with my lunatic Australian Cattle Dog mutt, which was nothing short of a miracle.Fast service, good customer service, reliability, and convenience are all very important to me. MasterTech has always provided all four.

Logan was the tech that came out. I received a text that he was on the way, another that he arrived. He was very polite, conscientious, honest and went through all my options in detail. I had 4 issues going on and he was able to break it down in a very transparent manner, with all the charges. I have used Master Tech for years and they are always reliable and have very hard working people on staff. Would highly recommend.Matt, who came out an did the repairs, was fast, knowledgeable and since we have an older home, there were snags. Matt was able to figure with arounds that didn’t involve additional charge. He was able to get the corroded plumbing parts out without breaking anything, also making additional work unnecessary. I was very pleased!

I had no A/C heading into May and got three estimates for a new furnace and heat pump. CJ gave me a detailed estimate of options, helped me consider various choices, and Master Tech was able to get my system installed in one week. “The Tylers” did the install and were prompt, courteous and efficient. I had to leave a few hours before the job was finished and came home later to a house that showed no messy signs of the work, was secured, and COOL! I’ve had work done by Master Tech and have always appreciated their friendly, competent phone reception, response time, and excellent work.
