5 Reasons Your Outside Faucet Is Leaking In Your House

Did you turn on your (frost free) outside faucet and water starting leaking inside your house? Here's the top 5 reasons that is happening:


  1. A hose was left on the faucet during freezing weather and split the faucet.

  2. The faucet is split because you forgot to remove a hose before freezing weather

  3. It was installed without correct pitch

  4. It doesn't extend into an adequately heat space

  5. But really, I bet someone left a hose attached to it


Remove all hoses and adapters from outside faucets before any freezing weather.


Bonus tip:

Save yourself some headaches by not leaving aluminum hose connectors attached to faucets for extended periods of time. I don't know why, but those aluminum to brass connections seize up and need to be cut off with a hacksaw.
