Outdoor faucets are handy for allowing you to bring your water to wherever it is needed outside. By using a garden hose extension, you could employ your outdoor faucet (also called a hose bib) for spraying, washing and sprinkling your lawn.

Unfortunately, because these faucets spend their lives outside, they are exposed to the temperature extremes that can cause plumbing damage. The best way to repair a leaky outdoor faucet is to dismantle the faucet itself and have a look inside. The majority of outdoor faucet leaks are caused by a faulty faucet washer, which is easy enough to fix.

Shut Off The Water

Shut off the water supply for the outdoor faucet that you will be repairing. How this is done depends on your plumbing setup. In some locations, particularly those in the Northern United States, you may be able to find a separate water shut off valve for the outside faucet in a basement or crawlspace. In other locations, the shut off valve could be in an outdoor building or shed.
