How We Helped Glen in Riverside Park With a Leaking Outdoor Faucet
The Problem:
One spring, we received a call from Glen, a homeowner in the Riverside Park area. His home, built in the 1960s, had an outdoor faucet and shutoff valve that were no longer working properly. After using the faucet for the first time that season, he discovered that neither would fully turn off—and both were leaking.
Diagnosis:
We arrived on-site later that day and found that both the faucet and shutoff valve were deteriorating due to age, preventing them from fully closing. Like most cases involving a leaking or seized exterior faucet, the best solution is a full replacement.
Steps to our replacement:
- Turned off the home’s water supply.
- Replaced the faucet with a BMI frost-free model with a vacuum breaker.
- Installed a new shut-off valve.
In this case, we encountered a challenge. The existing hole for the faucet was too small, crooked, and sloped incorrectly, preventing proper drainage. Additionally, due to the home’s construction, the interior end of the hose bibb was touching the underside of the floor.
How we overcame the challenge:
- Enlarged and repositioned the hole for proper drainage.
- Drilled a new opening, adjusting placement to fit the home’s structure.
- Sealed the new hose bibb to ensure a secure, leak-free installation.
Another happy customer!
With the new outdoor faucet and shut-off valve installed, Glen could now water his grass without worrying about leaks! With proper maintenance and winterization, his new frost-free outdoor faucet should last 10 to 15 years. To make future shut-offs easy, we left a Plumbing Now tag to clearly mark the valve location.
