Service Overview
You turn your outdoor faucet back on for the season and notice a leak. What happened? Question: Why do outdoor faucets or hose connections leak when I turn them back on for the season? Expert Answer: “Outdoor faucets go through a lot during winter, even if you never turn them on. When temperatures drop below freezing, any leftover water inside the pipe can expand and crack internal components. You might not notice the damage right away, but once you turn the faucet back on in spring, leaks can show up around the handle, at the connection, or even inside the wall. It’s important to address them quickly, because a small drip outside can sometimes mean a hidden leak inside.” If you notice a drip this spring, it’s worth addressing sooner rather than later.

Next week we’re sharing what homeowners should check before fully switching into cooling season.
