Outdoor hose spigot repair in Roswell
Outdoor hose spigot repair in Roswell and North Metro Atlanta. A spigot that drips with the handle closed, sprays at the stem, or went weak after a freeze is a small job. The pipe behind the wall is part of it, so we look there too. We repair, replace or add spigots. Tell us where the water shows up. Call 770-597-4141.
Signs you need outdoor hose spigot repair
- Water drips from the spout with the handle fully closed.
- Water sprays from around the handle when the tap is on.
- The flow went weak after a hard freeze.
- A damp spot inside the wall or basement behind the outdoor tap.
- You want a tap where there is none, so call for the layout.
How we diagnose it
- 1Where does the water show up?Spout, handle, hose connection or the wall. Each points at a different part of the fixture, or at the pipe behind it. Tell us which one.
- 2Check the pipe behind the wallA freeze can split the pipe inside the wall, not just the spigot you see. The leak only shows when the tap runs. We check before replacing the fixture.
- 3Fix it, then winter-proof itRepair or replace the fixture, open the wall only if the pipe needs it, and tell you how to run this tap through a freeze.
Your likely options
- Method
Repair the spigot
What it doesA drip at the spout or a spray at the handle is a worn part inside the fixture. We replace the part and the tap stays.
When it applies- a sound fixture with one worn part.
- Method
Replace the spigot
What it doesA corroded, cracked or split fixture comes off and a new one goes on. We discuss a frost-resistant type for the replacement.
When it applies- damage to the body of the fixture, or repeat repairs.
- Method
Add a new outdoor tap
What it doesA new spigot tied into the nearest supply line, placed where the hose needs to reach, with the wall opening closed up after.
When it applies- a garden, a garage or a side of the house without a tap.
What it costs
A visit to look at the problem. We tell you on the phone, before we schedule, whether that visit has a charge and what it is.
- A part, a new fixture, or a new tap and line.
- Whether the wall has to be opened for the pipe.
- How far a new tap sits from the nearest supply line.
A written scope and price for the repair, before we start. No work beyond that scope without your OK.
Dripping or weak outdoor tap? Tell us
Say where the water shows up and whether it started after a freeze. We check the pipe behind it and quote wall work first.
Outdoor hose spigot repair questions
Does a dripping spigot mean the whole thing has to be replaced?
No. A drip is a worn part, not a dead fixture. We open it up, replace what failed, and swap the whole spigot only when the body is damaged.
Water shows up inside when I use the outside tap. What is that?
The pipe feeding the spigot is split and leaks only under flow. A freeze is the usual cause. Stop using that tap and call; the fix is in the wall, not the fixture.
Can you add a spigot on the other side of the house?
Yes. We tie into the nearest supply line and bring a tap through the wall where you need it. Tell us the spot and what is on the inside of that wall.
Do you charge to come out and look?
We tell you on the phone, before we schedule, whether the visit has a charge and what it is.
How soon can you come?
Call and we tell you straight; it depends on the day. For an active leak or backup, call rather than sending the form.
