What Are the Risks of an Outdoor Leak?
A leaky outdoor faucet can waste gallons of water if not repaired and cost you unnecessarily high water bills. A sudden spike in your water bill can signify something is wrong.
An outdoor leak can also create puddles or damp patches around your home’s foundation. If not dealt with, this soggy soil could lead to ground expansion, pushing a water pipe against the foundation and creating a slab leak. Or you may have a vibrating or squeaky faucet that annoys you and your neighbors.
Either way, it’s important to contact service professionals as soon as you notice a problem.
Common Causes of Outdoor Faucet Issues
If you notice problems with your outdoor faucet, you need to look closer to get to the bottom of the issue. Some common issues that can lead to faucet problems include:
- Loose packing nuts: The packing nut is right underneath the handle. It keeps the valve inside the faucet from leaking. It can get loose, which will cause drips. Tightening this will fix the problem.
- Worn-out washers: Washers anywhere in the spigot assembly of your outdoor faucet can wear out, leading to leaks or other problems.
- Frozen pipes: If the water in your outdoor faucet freezes, it will expand, damaging the system.
No matter the cause, we can help you address these common problems with outdoor faucets.

Preventative Maintenance for Outdoor Faucet Issues
Preventative maintenance is one of the best ways to prevent problems with your outdoor faucet. Our team can help you make the right plan to reduce wear and tear on your outdoor faucet so it won’t break down. One of the most important steps is preparing your faucets for winter weather.
Outdoor faucets are some of the quickest to freeze in winter. The best way to protect them is to shut off water to your outdoor faucets, then drain them thoroughly, which will prevent damage from freezing and expanding water. You can also cover your outdoor faucet with an insulated cover.

Frequently Asked Questions About Outdoor Faucet Repair in Texas
Why won't water come out of my outdoor faucet?
If you’re still having issues with your outdoor faucet, you may need to call a plumber to investigate the issue further. If the faucet has no water, the aerator or the spout inside the faucet could be the issue. At the bottom of the faucet spout, rubble may get into the filter.
Do I need a professional plumber to repair outdoor faucets?
Replacing and installing an outdoor faucet isn’t just a quick handyperson job. It’s a good idea to hire a licensed, bonded, and insured plumber for the work, which should only take a few hours unless there are unforeseen problems.
Should I drain the outdoor faucet in winter?
Open the faucet and let any residual water drain out of the pipe. Draining the outside faucet is important because standing water between the inside shut-off valve and the outdoor faucet can freeze and break both the fixture and shut-off valve.
