Outside Hose Bibs
Providing Everything You Need
It is of utmost importance to regularly inspect and maintain your home's hose bibs. Due to their location on the exterior of the house, they often go unnoticed and neglected. However, hose bibs that fail to shut off completely can lead to significant issues in the future. Ignoring a dripping hose bib or attempting to conceal the problem will only result in water damage over time. To help you prevent further damage to your home, here are some valuable tips:
Tip 1: Never attempt to mask a dripping hose bib by simply attaching a sprayer to the end of a hose. It is essential to address the underlying issue and ensure the hose bib shuts off completely.
Tip 2: Take the necessary precautions to protect your hose bibs during the winter months. Make sure they are frost-free and adequately covered to prevent freezing and potential damage.

Never Mask A Hose Bib Drip
TIP 1
TIP 1: It's important to address a dripping hose bib properly rather than resorting to temporary fixes. While it may be tempting to ignore the drip or attach a valve/sprayer to stop the leak, these quick solutions can lead to more significant problems down the line. Experience has shown that a hose bib left unattended can freeze, causing internal pipe damage, or the makeshift attachment may fail unexpectedly, resulting in water damage. Even if you have a frost-free hose bib that drips, it's crucial to take action as it is no longer considered frost-free, and ice can eventually travel up the hose and cause plumbing pipe fractures. To ensure a reliable and efficient solution, consider having a new frost-free and easy-to-use hose bib, whether for hot or cold water, installed by Anthony's Plumbing. Give us a call at 1-206-906-9279 or text 1-206-802-8037 to schedule an appointment today.

Frost Free Hose Bib
TIP 2
TIP 2: Investing in frost-free hose bibs is a wise decision to safeguard your plumbing system against freezing during the winter months. However, even with proper coverage, there is still a risk of frozen pipes. Frost-free hose bibs are designed with a stem that shuts off the water supply on the interior side of the wall, significantly reducing the chances of pipe freezing. Not only do these hose bibs provide functional benefits, but they also enhance the aesthetics of your home. With an easy-to-use 1/4 turn on and off handle, you no longer have to spend an eternity twisting the handle just to water a plant. The convenience alone is well worth the upgrade. If you're interested in having a new frost-free hose bib, whether for hot or cold water, professionally installed in your home, contact Anthony's Plumbing at1-206-906-9279 or text 1-206-802-8037 to schedule an appointment today.
