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:

Low Water Pressure: Reduced water pressure can make it challenging to perform tasks efficiently, such as watering your lawn or garden.

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.

Great experience with the office and field staff at MasterTech. , Outstanding customer service. Highly recommend. Kyle and MacKenzie were both professional and efficient.
We had plumbing problems that needed fixing. Investigating those problems turned up other underlying problems that needed fixing but not emergent. We decided to get everything fixed during the same visit. We were not pressured to get everything repaired at the same time. That was our decision.
Prompt, knowledgeable, friendly. Andy and Dillion were efficient in things fixed.

Installing a walk-in shower wasn't on the list of services. But Gary did a great job and I literally didn't have to do anything like go to Home Depot or any other store - just like I asked 😊 All I had to do was tell him what I needed and he took care of everything.

Having noticed a leak of water when it rains I called MasterTech twice to look at problem. Water leak around where the water pipe they installed.Both times they informed me the leak was my problem. Saying they were plumbers not responsible for the leaking groundwater where they installed the pipe having drilled through my foundation to put their plumbing through. Referred me to a foundation repair company. Not an acceptable response. I will dig out on outside of wall and seal myself. And consider their “ guarantee of work “ worthless. Sealing my foundation should be part of their responsibility. Their water pipe doesn’t leak, but my wall does. And MasterTech drilled the hole to put the water pipe through.It should have been sealed!

Mastertach was great! From the start, the offie personnel responded promptly to the message I had left, she was polite and friendly. The crew showed up on time the next day. They had the tools needed to identify the issue and were able to call in a crew to get it fixed immediately. They were the 3rd plumbing Co in 4 months to come out, but the ONLY one that went beyond addressing the symptoms to fixing the problem.

Had such a great experience. These guys are so friendly, very helpful, and go above and beyond. They fixed my water leak, gave me a walkthrough of what they’d be doing, helped me understand the entire procedure and even cleared a clogged drain for me without me even asking them to do so. Great work, personable, and efficient! Took them no time at all to do the job. 10/10 recommend

Kyle and McKenzie came out today to do my routine maintenance. In passing, I laughed and told McKenzie how randomly my unit goes to 62 degrees in the middle of the night. She took control, reset all the crazy random presets I lessed up and set them to my actual request. That is not even part of my plan, but kindness.Also, maintenance plan is CRAZY reasonable. I pay less than a price of a filter monthly and they also changed that for me! Great Job. Love my LOCAL BUSINESSES. THEY ARE MAINTAINING A UNIT I DID NOT PURCHASE FROM THEM but I will next time!

Matthew was fast and efficient when he was here to put in a new water heater. He explained everything he was doing and answered all my questions in an easy manner that didn't make me feel that I was taking up his time. I enjoyed talking to him.The only complaint I had was when he arrived he didn't have the hot water heater I had ordered and had to go back and get it. He stated that he had been told he was there for a water heater replacement and that was it. I had gotten a quote in writing with the water heater I wanted and even texted Master Tech to ask about the diameter of the new heater to make sure it would fit. I was surprised they hadn't loaded his truck with the correct model.Other than that, no complaints

Matt was professional, polite, knowledgeable, and very competent. He carefully explained what was happening and the increasing costs as more and more problems became apparent. He worked hard to figure out the best solution to complicated issues. He worked in a very uncomfortable, cramped position in a tight space in a corner cabinet with any complaining. Please convey to him our appreciation.
Max got here quickly on a weekend call and was helpful with explaining the repair throughout the process. Would strongly recommend.

The plumber who came out to my house was a guy named Max. He was very helpful and courteous. Even though it was 9 p.m. when he got to my house he didn’t rush through the job and he took time to answer my questions. He was very skilled and great at customer service. He cleared my sewer line and plunged the drains in my basement so the water cleared out. He also told me the cause of the line being clogged and referred me for a full inspection so I could get a quote on cost of repair.
Excellence doesn’t begin to scratch the surface. Plumber, Gary Buck was my technician and he is AMAZING! So professional and knowledgeable; prompt, personable and clean. There oughta be six or seven stars for this guy. Truly outstanding.

The techs showed up and managed to get the thermostat & gas furnace running over the weekend so we were never down without heat, but still had an issue with the heat pump tripping out the system. The techs went through the system’s wiring and parts to narrow down and diagnose the issue. Then replicated the issue several times to confirm. In no time the ran to the warehouse grabbed the part, installed, and got us fully operational. Thanks Again.
Matt is an amazing tech. He was alright with a video call so I could see how the repairs were going. He knows what he's doing to help fix this 94 year old house water pipe issues. Matt is a amazing and awesome guy. Thank you very much for your hard work.

Quick and compassionate service despite the unusually high demand for plumbing repairs caused by extremely frigid temperatures.

I have always had good experiences with MasterTech. I highly recommend them for plumbing services.
