Outside Water Faucets Installation or Replacement Services
Exterior faucets, commonly called “hose bibbs” or “spigots,” require plumbing knowledge to install, mostly because these fixtures are exposed to sub-zero temperatures, especially during long Wisconsin winters. Having a few options available around your house makes summer watering, washing a vehicle, or filling a pool or a hot tub much easier. Rely on your plumber to help you with the proper placement in the most convenient and functional location. Using high-quality products matters as proper seals can extend the life of the unit and prevent common drips.

Outdoor Faucet Winterization
In Wisconsin, exterior faucets are highly vulnerable to freezing if they are not frostproof models. When water inside the faucet or connecting pipes expands into ice, it can crack the pipe, and you may not notice this until spring. A burst pipe behind an exterior wall can cause damage, so faucet winterization is important. Start by disconnecting any hoses and attachments, whether you have frostproof hose bibs or not. Keeping hoses connected to frostproof models over winter can also cause damage to these. Most homes will have a dedicated shutoff valve inside the basement or crawlspace. After shutting off the interior valve, open the exterior faucet to let any remaining water drain out. When in doubt, call our Top Tier plumbers to make sure winterization is done properly to avoid problems in the spring.
