Leaking Outside Faucet /Hose Bib /Spigot /Sillcock

Outdoor faucets fail for several reasons. The packing nut may loosen, the washer may wear out, the valve stem may corrode, or the fixture may crack from age and exposure. In some cases, the leak is not only at the visible faucet. Water may be escaping inside the wall, near the pipe connection, or underground where the line feeds the fixture. That is why it is important to have a plumber look at the full setup instead of only tightening the handle and hoping the leak stops.

Our service team checks the faucet, the connection point, the shutoff, and the surrounding area. If a simple repair is appropriate, we take care of it. If the hose bib or sillcock is too worn or damaged, we can replace it with a new fixture. We also look for signs of pressure problems or piping issues that could cause repeat leaks. This practical approach helps protect the property and keeps the repair from becoming a recurring headache.

Custom Plumbing has more than 40 years of experience serving West Palm Beach and nearby areas. We work on residential plumbing, commercial plumbing, and new construction systems, so we understand how exterior water lines are built and how they wear over time. Our goal is not to provide the cheapest patch. Our goal is to make the repair properly so the faucet works the way it should. If your outside faucet drips, sprays, will not shut off, leaks when a hose is attached, or leaves wet spots near the wall or foundation, call Custom Plumbing. We can inspect the hose bib, spigot, or sillcock, explain the issue, and repair or replace it with quality workmanship.

This is also a good time to address older shutoff valves or poor access. A properly working exterior faucet should be easy to use, easy to shut off, and secure enough for daily watering, cleaning, landscaping, or commercial maintenance without constant dripping or surprise leaks.
