How it works
Shut off and diagnose
We close the interior shutoff valve for the outdoor faucet and determine whether the leak is at the handle packing, the spout, or the body.
Repair or replace
We either repack the stem or swap out the entire hose bib assembly, using a freeze-proof model when appropriate for the climate.
Test at pressure
We open the interior shutoff and run the outdoor faucet through its range, checking for leaks at the wall plate and at the handle.
Problems we fix
- Handle that spins without closing off the water — worn packing nut or washer
- Slow drip at the spout when the faucet is closed — failed internal washer
- Faucet that leaks at the wall during use — failed wall seal or cracked body
- Ice damage leaving a crack in the spigot body that leaks inside the exterior wall
Outdoor Faucet (Hose Bib) Repair in Charleston — FAQ
What is a frost-free hose bib and should I have one?
A frost-free (or anti-siphon) hose bib places the shutoff point 6–8 inches inside the exterior wall where it stays above freezing. In climates with cold winters, it's the right choice for any outdoor faucet.
How do I shut off just the outdoor faucet?
Most homes have an interior shutoff valve for each outdoor faucet — typically in the basement or crawlspace on the pipe leading to it. We can identify and label yours during the repair.
Can you repair it the same day?
Most hose bib repairs or replacements are same-day jobs. We carry common faucet sizes and standard packing hardware.
Outdoor Faucet (Hose Bib) Repair across Charleston
Charleston's humid subtropical climate, salt air and active storm season are tough on homes — swollen doors, rusting hardware, mildew-prone caulk and storm-loosened trim are all common. Downtown's historic houses add original plaster walls and tight, detailed millwork, while West Ashley and the islands bring newer builds with their own quirks. Our pros are comfortable with both.
