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.

Kyle M was quick to diagnose the issue and repair our furnace the same day it went out. He was very knowledgeable and got us signed up for the membership, which was absolutely worth it. He also gave us several tips about maintenance that will be important in the future.

Customer service is great. They were able to come out the same day I called him this morning and they came out to help resolve the problem that I was having. My water is back on. Still have to wait for pipes to unfreeze. I thought the pipes frozen the wall and had broken but they were not. So hopefully once the pipes unfreeze everything will drain as it is supposed to. My technician whose name is Andy did a wonderful job. He is very professional and courteous and I appreciated his help
Always a great experience! Very nice employees! Gary is a pleasure to work with and explains everything I need to know. Fast, efficient, and kind!

Kyle M was incredibly helpful and professional. He got to our house quickly, diagnosed the problem(s) efficiently, and fixed our furnace faster than I even hoped. He explained each of the problems thoroughly and kept both myself and my partner up to date on everything. I really appreciated that he spoke to both of us rather than just speaking with my husband (something that can be unfortunately common when interacting with technicians). He was also genuinely friendly, a nice perk! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Kyle!

Purchased a new high efficiency furnace which was installed 12/09 and I could not have been more pleased with the results. The two tech's, Tyler and Tyler were professional and left my install area just like they found it. They also explained my new system thoroughly and answered all of my questions. All the people I have worked with have been competent and professional from the advisor C.J. and the initial tech McKenzie, who came on an after hours repair call, I highly recommend MasterTech.

Kyle did an absolutely fantastic job fixing my HVAC system! He replaced the broken furnace inducer motor with skill and efficiency, getting everything up and running perfectly. While working, he also noticed that my humidifier water line was broken—a problem I hadn’t even realized—and he quickly fixed that too. His attention to detail, professionalism, and quick problem-solving were truly impressive. Kyle went above and beyond, and I couldn’t be happier with the service he provided. Highly recommended!

I was at a friends house when Master Tech came to fix their plumbing. A few weeks prior they fixed her heating. I was honestly surprised at how friendly the technician was (Ryan!) and how fast they found and fixed her clog. I didn't even use them myself but they charged a great rate to my friend, worked well on both of her issues (heat then plumbing) and I know if I have issues in the future who to call. I was impressed and the service wasn't even for me LOL.

We called MasterTech to come replace our water softener and Gary, our technician, did a fantastic job- I highly recommend! He was very professional, friendly, and was quick to get the work done we needed. He arrived on time, and within a short amount of time had a new softener installed. He also gave us quotes for a few other projects we had asked about. We will definitely be calling for Gary when we are ready to start our new projects!
They were very respectful of my difficult situation.

I have an old house with a crappy furnace, so as one might expect I have to call the HVAC people a lot. So far, I have worked with five individual HVAC techs from Mastertech (Tyler, Mackenzie, CJ, Kyle and Nate) and ALL of them have been lovely, helpful people who made an otherwise unpleasant experience friendly and nonthreatening. I also worked with one of their plumbers as well, and he was just as good as the HVAC techs though I didn't get his nameI am particularly impressed with how willing their staff have been to take me down into the basement, show me the actual problems with my system, and explain why a certain repair will fix the problem. As a first time homeowner with little experience in these kinds of things, they've not only fixed my HVAC system, but have given me the tools to do some basic upkeep on my own. Very empowering!Also, their monthly maintenance plan is well worth the money for all the discounts and free check-ups you get. Especially if you have an old house (or just an old furnace), you're going to want that consistent service in my opinion. Plus, HVAC repairs are often expensive no matter what you do, and those discounts really come in handy!So in short, I cannot recommend Mastertech enough. They do every part of their jobs well. They hire competent technicians who also happen to be nice, friendly people. And they do it all for as reasonable of a price as one could ask for.

MasterTech has bailed me out every time I've called them, and frequently comes earlier than estimated, and has sometimes even been able to do the work at a lower price than initially quoted. Just a bunch of honest folks. Kyle Mohler really saved me yesterday when my heat went out - 4 hours of pipe cleaning and reinstalling my furnace the day before Thanksgiving is an incredible ask, and one he was happy to help with.
Matt was incredible. Very knowledgeable and helpful for an hvac problem that has stumped over three other companies. He has saved us much time and money, and given us the piece of mind that our kids will not be cold for another winter. Thanks Matt!
