Hose bibbs, known as outdoor faucets or spigots, are a crucial component of any home’s plumbing system<\/a>. They provide a convenient water source for gardening, washing cars, and even filling up your pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They may seem like a simple fixture, but it’s important to make sure they\u2019re in good condition to avoid potential problems. Now\u2019s a good time to install a new hose bibb in Ferndale<\/a> or the surrounding areas, or service the one you already have, and here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Preventing Leaks and Water Damage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Time isn\u2019t the friend of your hose bibb. Wear and tear is unavoidable, but you can replace seals. When these deteriorate over time, leaks start springing up. If the bibb is close to your home, it can result in water damage that can impact your foundation. Replacing these seals is a bigger deal than it seems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upgrading to a Frost-Free Bibb<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While they\u2019re not a 100% guarantee, frost-free bibbs are designed to prevent freezing. If you\u2019ve ever had to leave your outdoor spigot on just a little bit to prevent freezing in the dead of winter, upgrading to a new frost-free bibb may help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extreme temperatures can still cause freezing<\/a>, but these have a higher resistance than your traditional hardware store bibbs that a lot of homeowners have installed. It\u2019s a good step towards winterizing your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoiding Emergencies and Burst Pipes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Frost-free bibbs can help prevent water damage as a result of freezing, and may prevent the pipe connected to your bibb from bursting in frigid weather. Your hose bibb causing an emergency<\/a> is probably the last thing on your mind, and with an upgrade or servicing your current bibb, it\u2019ll stay that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
